Compact robot designed for arc welding applications
So many problems in fabrication begin at the very start of the process chain: quoting. As Ludlow explained, LMI quotes are based on data from past manufacturing jobs. The laser cutting data comes from XML files exported from Plant Manager, which has helped them build a library of exact processing times. If a part is […]
