‘The future of tool making’: ANCA’s new era of automation
AIMS facilitates streamlined tool production, linking separate processes and factory IT systems.
AIMS offers functionality that is adaptable to each factory’s needs, from small-scale, data-based options to the full AIMS set-up across a series of machines with endless possibilities. Customers can choose from a suite of ‘auto’ solutions for reducing production costs, resolving labour challenges and integrating systems to improve product and process quality.
ANCA Group CEO Chris Hegarty said: “ANCA is here to provide tool manufacturers with solutions to support production that work across all industries and applications and expand to complete tool production needs. This is a new landscape for interconnected technology, working end to end. Integration and automation solutions provide infrastructure to manufacture tools with increased productivity and higher quality. ANCA has the industry-leading software and control capabilities to deliver a system for production management that tackles time, cost and labour inefficiencies where it counts.”
“We are delighted to be accelerating into the fourth industrial revolution with advanced, smart factory solutions for cutting tool makers – intelligent automation for connecting processes and data management.”
Over 70 per cent of ANCA customers seek machines with robotic functionality. ANCA’s world-first technology developments utilise automation to gain efficiencies and have helped reduce production costs by 50 per cent.
The AIMS online demo exhibits interconnected grinding technology solutions that eliminate wasteful manual handling, reduce machine downtime in between batches and take away the need to have operators constantly monitoring and adjusting production machines.
