The new MCVx Remote is the best way to manage Dimac 100% inspection and sorting machines directly on a network. The original high performance of this software – first launched in 2015 – has recently been integrated in a smart, business intelligence solution.
Enhancing the machine/computer/user interaction, MCVx Remote helps the quality process management, unlocking the full potential of Dimac MCVx Vision Software, and allowing control and process, in real time, of inspection plans remotely.
Powered by Dimac’s secure platform, MCVx Remote integrates and connects customers’ existing inspection and sorting systems, aiming to keep lines up and running, boost supply chain productivity and grow bottom line revenues.
MCVx Remote is very easy and fast to set-up, the user simply:
+ Accesses the inspection machines over the network from the MCV folder on their Notebook.
+ Selects the Dimac machine on which they want to work. The main program window then displays a real time running image at the selected machine.
+ Activate the wizard procedure to load, edit, set-up and test specific part programs and inspection tools.
+ When edited, save the job by pressing OK… and it is done.
In common with all Dimac software and applications, MCVx Remote is a plug & play and multilingual package, compatible with popular operating systems.
Dimac can also supply Dimac Remote Support, which is a new facility, connecting swiftly with the Dimac technical service staff to troubleshoot and get real time online help; as well as Dimac Smart Apps, which will be launched soon and will allow monitoring of the entire inspection cycle via phone or email anytime and everywhere – simultaneously tracking patterns and trends through a reliable reporting system.
By providing 4.0 solutions in automation, inspection, and connectivity, Dimac is proving profitable for customers in terms of return of investment, reducing costs and times, and improving accessibility.
Massimo Agrati, CEO at Dimac, comments: “We are investing in new releases to enhance efficiency across several fastener industry applications.”
Volume Plus
Another solution that Dimac is able to provide is the predictive forming control package, Volume Plus, which was originally developed in 2010 to pre-control the forming process of special, complex shape fasteners and consequently make it easier to predict the manufacturing costs.
Now, thanks to the partnership with worldwide forming technology experts, Dimac is going to launch the new upgraded release that will further enhance the previous performances in terms of calculation accuracy and swiftness.
The forming control tools have been substantially improved, including the algorithm of the unique ‘Help’ function, allowing to modify – in seconds – the geometry of specific steps of forming progression, automatically keeping constant the volume of material to be formed.
Enabling the collection of important data such as extrusion ratios, forging limits, waste material, holes, recesses, rings, ribs, Volume Plus makes easy pre-form punches volume and geometry calculations.
Diameters and lengths of specific portions of the component to be formed can be changed by a few clicks, while the software automatically correct the rest of the geometry – keeping the total volume of the component unchanged. User interface improvements have also been applied to the section relevant to loads and energy calculation.
With the simple introduction of a little data, the system gives a quick and intuitive overview of the loads involved to specific forming operations, as well as the energy required and so on. For multi-station processes it is possible to have a graphical display of the loads distribution, operation by operation.
Completely different from any CAD software or finite element simulation package, Volume Plus represents concretely Dimac’s ‘Internet of Things’ approach – aimed at customers looking to comply with industry specific standards and regulations, dramatically reducing expenses, increasing profit and determine exactly what end users want.
Volume Plus latest version will be distributed by Dimac soon. A special limited edition release of the package is available on each automatic 100% inspection and sorting machine.
