Fastems LLC will showcase its CNC automation systems for milling and turning machines at IMTS. Highlighted will be the new Flexible Pallet Tower FPT, a compact automation system for APC and no-APC 4- and 5-axis machining centres with 300- to 630-mm pallets. The system accommodates up to 24 pallets in 113 sq. ft., and its configurable storage allows for different pallet heights, helping to increase machine tool utilization and lights-out production capacity. The system can be integrated with more than 90 different machine tool brands.

The company also will debut version 8 of its Manufacturing Management Software. The new release plans, runs, and monitors all of the company’s automation systems and integrates with various other software and devices to enable flexible and cost-optimized production for any batch size. The new Insights module gathers and digests production data and turns it to practical, productivity-enhancing tips related to machine, tool, and fixture usage.

This version also offers a single-view user interface with drag-and-drop production orders for one-machine pallet systems, EasyRoute feature for introducing new workpieces into production in less than 60 sec., and an automatic Order Generator for recurring orders or maintaining a certain stock level.
