On July 12, 2024, Sodick (Thailand) and CGS Asia held a joint seminar. The seminar was tailored for users engaged in mold processing. During the seminar, they introduced the recommended products and software from both Sodick and CGS, highlighting their features and practical applications.
Sodick introduced the convenient control functions featured in their machining centers, along with the latest machining center, the "UX450L."
■ SEPTune
Software that automatically generates optimal parameters by selecting tool length, tool neck length L/D, machining range, and feed rate according to the machining purpose.
■ EFtune
Software that calculates the optimum cutting feed rate (F value) in NC programs. It enables even operators with limited knowledge or experience to easily determine machining conditions in a short time.
■ Motion Expert
A system that supports the drive control of machines, reducing errors during machining and improving the accuracy and stability of operations. By controlling the movement of the axes, it reduces energy consumption by 20% and shorten processing time. It can easily replace outdated motor drives.
■ Linear Motor Drive Machining Center "UX450L"
The latest machining center, which began full-scale sales in Thailand in 2024, features proprietary linear motors on the XYZ axes, making it suitable for high-speed, precision machining.
Features of Sodick's linear motors
・Positioning at the 1nm level for precision machines, high-speed machines capable of speed exceeding 100 meters per minute, and high-acceleration machines capable of accelerations exceeding 5G.
World-class cooling characteristics
・High response and high speed are achieved in combination with a motion controller.
CGS Asia and Sodick (Thailand) are dedicated to supporting and developing the manufacturing industries in Thailand and ASEAN. Collaborations like this joint seminar exemplify their efforts to introduce new technologies to manufacturing sites in Thailand.
"This seminar was truly memorable. Not only did we gain new knowledge, but we also had the opportunity to engage directly with industry peers who share similar interests and goals. Receiving insights from industry experts proved to be both educational and motivating. I believe this CGS × Sodick seminar was highly beneficial and of excellent quality for the participants. We would be honored to continue participating in such engaging seminars in the future."
