Okuma illustrated its approach to dealing with data generated from automated sensors in an Industry 4.0 scenario in a state-of-the-art production facility, incorporating know-how from Okuma’s self-contained start-to-finish factory “Dream Site 1” in Japan as well as other notable collaborations with customers around the world. For demonstration purposes, the CNC manufacturer transformed its showroom into a smart factory by network connecting all of the machines on display. Guests were treated to a variety of machining demonstrations on a wide range of Okuma’s extensive fleet of machine tools. Live machining ranged from portrait milling to gear machining on Okuma’s multitasking machines. Real-time data monitoring allowed demonstrations of product and information tracking, tool data handling and more.Via a central monitor the guests were able to observe the communication between the individual machine tools, the CNC controls and Okuma’s Intelligent Technology software. Presentations covered concepts for automated production cell management, which have been realised at reference customers. These projects included the integration of an Okuma multitasking machine and custom software solutions into an automated robotic cell: the entire process occurs completely unmanned, including changeovers from one type of workpiece to another, tool changes, clamping equipment changes and workpiece changeovers within the current batch. Over the course of three days, visitors from 20 different countries came to experience Okuma’s smart factory solutions and the benefits for their individual industries.

Losing more than 12% of value, Stratasys earned the title of one of the day’s biggest losers in the equity markets yesterday. While share prices are rarely a strong indicator of long term viability, innovation or technical agility nonetheless they are a key metric for companies who choose to list publicly. However, the advantages of a public listing can swiftly be eroded by the requirements imposed by market regulators and the necessity to present quarterly updates to investors, Stratasys (NASDAQ:SSYS) fell victim to these requirements yesterday after the company reported a 6% drop in revenue and markets responded with heavy selling activity, driving down the share price. MakerBot sales at low levelIn their latest earnings release for the quarter ended September 30, Stratasys report a fifth consecutive period of declining revenue. Total revenue was $157.2 million, down from $167.6 for the comparative figure in September 2015. Revenue from the company’s MakerBot range was down by 29% reaching levels last seen in 2012. Investment analyst consensus was that the company would report a loss, however the reported EPS of $0.40 was greater than expected. On a call with investors and analysts CEO Ilan Levin explained that the company is engaged in cost cutting exercises. The result is to bring the net loss of the company to $21 million, the comparative figure was $901 million. Earnings expectations lowered, new partnership to be announcedRevised guidance on full year earnings was also issued, with the company moving the range significantly. Previously investors were told to expect sales in the $700 – $730 million, on yesterday’s call guidance for net income was cut to $7 – $11 million. CEO Levin will meet this morning with analysts and reporters as he visits the Formnext 3D printing analyst trade show in Frankfurt. Levin is expected to provide an update on strategy at the company and will also announce a strategic partnership with, “one of the world’s most recognised engineering giants,” according to a spokesperson for the company. The announcement will add to previously announced partnerships with Siemens, Boeing and automotive giant, Ford Motor Company and may be a further example of the two demonstrator technologies the company showed at IMTS Chicago in September, Infinite Build and the Robotic Composite machines. However, commercialization of these products is a longer term project.
3DPI will be in attendance and bring you more news as we have it. Source: 3D Printing Industry Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., the world’s biggest maker of giant excavators, has offered 689 million Australian dollars ($529 million) to buy Australia’s Bradken Ltd. The purchase would be its biggest ever and is likely to boost profit by about 10 percent, Nomura Securities Co. said.
The Tokyo-based company said Monday it is offering AU$3.25 a share. The acquisition will enable Hitachi Construction to supplement its parts business for mining equipment and boost earnings, according to a statement. The announcement comes about two months after its larger domestic rival, Komatsu Ltd., agreed to buy U.S.-based Joy Global Inc. for $2.89 billion, signaling the company’s optimism that demand for diggers and loaders will rebound after years of declining commodity prices. Bradken “appears to have a degree of competitiveness and profitability, raising the possibility of relatively stable profits as and when sharp corrections in demand for mining machinery come to an end,” Katsushi Saito, managing director of Nomura Securities, said in a report dated Oct. 3. The No. 1 priority will be to successfully complete the restructuring process at Bradken, he added. Bradken, founded in 1922, produces excavator parts to mineral crushing equipment. It announced in August it would streamline units and consider divesting noncore businesses. Nomura calculates the deal will boost Hitachi Construction’s earnings per share by about 10 percent for the financial year through March 2018. The purchase will create synergies worth more than ¥20 billion in five to six years, Chief Executive Officer Yuichi Tsujimoto told a briefing. While the company does not expect a demand recovery for mining equipment this fiscal year, it sees mid- to long-term growth in the sector. Hitachi Construction plans to start a tender offer for Bradken for six weeks from mid- to late-October, according to its statement. The Australian company last year rejected a AU$428 million offer from Koch Industries Inc. and Pacific Equity Partners, saying it did not reflect its fair value. The Japanese company will use funds on hand as well as bank borrowing to finance the acquisition, which includes Bradken’s debt of AU$288 million. Hitachi Construction will also provide an interim AU$450 million credit facility if existing debt provisions are affected by the change in control, according to a statement from the Australian company. The deal is subject to regulatory approvals. Hitachi Construction, half owned by conglomerate Hitachi Ltd., is Japan’s second-biggest maker of construction and mining equipment and has the biggest global share of giant excavators used in mining.
