Dimac Srl states that once again its stand will be an essential visit for all visitors to Fastener Fair Stuttgart engaged in the pursuit of zero-defects.
Following the successes of 2018 and its investments in new technologies, the Italian company remains future focused, presenting exciting novelties whilst widening its ‘total quality’ horizons. At the show Dimac will focus on two special high-end models.
Restyled MCV5
Dimac is planning a massive product onslaught in the next few years, starting with the launch of the MCV5 new generation series. Complying with the latest IoT, automation, and safety standards, this model combines the top of electronics and mechanics with the best in class vision system.
“The new model of MCV5 features the latest eco-efficiency technology in all its electrical equipment. We renovated its design, further improving lights, amplifiers and controller. Even sound absorption has been implemented,” comments Andrea Cuttica, project manager at Dimac Srl. “The upgrade concerns the sensors too. We integrated the vision system with a new laser unit and high-res 5 Mpix ⅔ inch cameras with collimated telecentric lenses and illuminators. All that is integrated with the new MCVx vision software, providing improved quality control performance, both on standard and complex geometries.”
The latest release of MCV5 also includes new functions and tools for the dimensional inspection, as well as for surface analysis.
Plug & Play SPC-LAB 2019
The new SPC-LAB is the mobile unit that Dimac has conceived to support the fastener and fixing manufacturing process with a minimisation of the scatter in results, and an overall reduction in the cost and time, of testing.
True to the tenets of Lean production, SPC-LAB streamlines accurate data collection and Statistical Process Control, putting production shops on a virtuous cycle of better measurement, analysis, improvement and control.
Visitors to Fastener Fair Stuttgart will have the chance to experience the unique features of this new release, including: A working range for fasteners and special parts in diameters 2mm - 30mm and in 10mm - 7mm length; the possibility of 3D 360° inspection and optical auto-calibration pattern to improve the accuracy with nearly zero distortion. Plus, special tempered V-glasses with anti-scratch to support the part while measured; improved repeatability up to 5μm; USB ports for digital gauges and high-precision digital calipers; as well as barcode reading for immediate operator log-in and inspection plan activation.
Dimac points out that expectations are high for customers who already use the previous generation model, such as Italian fastener supplier T&T Srl. “We are interested in seeing how Dimac experts have renewed the SPC-LAB series. The original model currently running on our production lines is already a high performance device,” comments Mr Stefano Ronzoni, owner of T&T Srl.
Another important novelty concerns Dimac servicing. While connectivity is a cornerstone for the whole range of machines – for example remote connectivity is used by Dimac to provide upgrades, programming and set-up support, training conferences, etc. – Dimac has introduced Augmented Reality to further enhance the aftersales assistance.
Successfully presented in Paris at the recent Fastener Fair France show, Dimac Remote Assistance (DRA) –powered by Acty© – for use in mobile device Apps, has been specifically conceived to troubleshoot the Dimac machines remotely.
Prior to any intervention at a customer’s site, Dimac can activate a live camera chat within an augmented reality environment and support the operators to identify the origin of any problem and troubleshoot. That means cost-effectiveness – streamlining and abating any down time – whilst facilitating and speeding up the machine cycle restart.
“The 8th Fastener Fair Stuttgart will be the world’s leading exhibition for the whole fastener segment and Dimac aims to be the meeting point for all the industry specialists engaged in today’s and tomorrow’s 100% quality challenges.”
