UNISIG will be exhibiting at the Canadian Manufacturing Technology Show, which is being held at the International Centre in Mississauga, Ontario from September 28 – October 1. Located in booth #2806, UNISIG will be showcasing its broad and comprehensive line of deep hole drilling solutions and consulting with attendees on how best to incorporate deep hole drilling into their operations.

UNISIG specializes in developing comprehensive solutions for any deep hole drilling application. The company’s broad product portfolio addresses applications for any industry segment and is complemented by UNISIG’s approach of offering machinery, tooling and automation as a full turnkey solution.

“Our customers come from every area of industry and range from specialty shops that have focused exclusively on deep hole drilling to those who are just beginning to receive enough work to justify investing in a dedicated machine,” says Anthony Fettig, CEO. “We work with every customer to ensure they have the right technology for their needs and help them implement it into their production.”

UNISIG’s USC-M series of 7-axis deep hole drilling and machining centers is ideal for mold production, allowing manufacturers to process large and small parts with four-sided machining capability in a single setup. The USC-M series machines utilize two independent spindles: one for gundrilling and BTA drilling and a second CAT 50 machining spindle. When this additional capability is combined with a rotatory workpiece table and programmable headstock inclination, accurate deep hole drilling and all standard high-performance machining capabilities are available within the working envelope of the system.

The seven axes of control on the M-Series machines utilize the B, A, X, Y and Z axes, providing 3 plus 2 machining to make deep hole drilling and machining of compound angles faster and easier, and improves productivity and throughput by reducing setups and eliminating changeovers. In fact, using a deep hole drilling headstock capable of high-performance BTA drilling is five-to-seven-times faster than traditional gundrilling.

The UNE Series of machines offers a strong value proposition for job shops that are incorporating gundrilling into their operations. With high-precision, preloaded ballscrew feed and digital servo drive with absolute encoders, the machines provide exceptional accuracy. The UNE Series incorporates a modular design and is available with a wide range of spindle configurations and automation option, allowing it to be easily customized to a manufacturer’s unique applications.

All UNISIG machines are engineered and manufactured in the United States with high-performance components. Upon machine installation, UNISIG provides its customers with comprehensive training that involves machine operation and process optimization, as well as attentive post-installation service and extended training.

WESTEC 2015 attendees will get to see and experience the most powerful Mastercam machining software yet. Stop by booth # 1715 at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, CA, September 15-17 for a look at Mastercam X9 which introduces Dynamic Motion improvements, Multiaxis enhancements, and many Design and System features to make your job easier. There will be live presentations every 30 minutes on Mastercam products, available in both English and Spanish.

This year at WESTEC, attendees have the opportunity to register for a Mastercam X9 Rollout Event, hosted by CNC Software and local Mastercam Reseller, to learn about the latest tools in Mastercam X9. Also available are three Brew & View breakout sessions located at the main stage of the show floor. Topics are:

• The Evolution of CAM: An Introduction to Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion
• Machining Way Too Fast: A First Experience Jumping into Mastercam Dynamic Motion
• Speed vs. Power: Maximizing Material Removal with Mastercam’s Dynamic Motion

Dynamic Motion Technology
Dynamic Motion toolpaths follow a proprietary and sophisticated set of rules that take into consideration a broad data set. To create the most efficient cutting motion possible, Dynamic toolpaths calculate not only the area where metal will be removed; they also take into account the changing condition of the material throughout various stages of machining.

Design and Multiaxis Features
Dynamic Xform allows you to switch between gnomon manipulation and geometry manipulation mode at any time. Solid Disassemble is a new Model Prep function that takes an assembly and lays each body out in a single pane. The associativity between solids and toolpaths has been greatly improved. Now when bodies are edited, only the toolpaths directly affected by the change in the solid body are marked dirty.

The new Multiaxis Link ensures reposition moves between 2- through 5-axis operations are safe and collision-free. Multiaxis Link is an operation that takes a list of toolpath operations and a safety zone shape as input. Mastercam X9 introduces improved processing logic for advanced multiaxis toolpaths. Select Multiaxis toolpaths now process in the Multi-Threading Manager, streamlining your 2- through 5-axis workflow experience.

Also available in Mastercam X9:
• Preview Toolpaths support for select Mill operations to see your results before closing the toolpath parameters dialog.
• Surface High Speed Hybrid now supports dedicated flat processing, making Hybrid even more intelligent and efficient.
• The efficiency of the 3D HST Rest Roughing Linking has been improved. The moves are closer to your model, eliminating costly excessive air motion.
• Mill Tooling introduces two new tool types, as well as changes to two existing tools.

About Mastercam:
Developed by CNC Software, Inc., Mastercam is Windows®-based CAD/CAM software for 2- through 5-axis routing, milling and turning, 2- and 4-axis wire EDM, 2D and 3D design, surface and solid modeling, artistic relief cutting, and Swiss machining.
