Cutting & trimming. (What to See at NPE 2003).Robotic trimming and routing systems are a particular area of interest at the show. Resin Robotics, for example, is showing a laser cutting system and a new laser guiding feature. Motoman is introducing a new robot for material removal and deburring. Flow Robotic Systems and Robotic Production Technology are also snowing trimming/routing systems. Here are other unusual exhibits: * Wegener North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. is showing a new band saw for off-line cutting of pipe and profiles. SICA See Securities Industry Committee on Arbitration. is demonstrating an eight-arm planetary pipe cutter that automatically clamps pipe of different diameters. * Midwest Specialties will demonstrate the FlexArm, a hand-operated tapping device that cuts threaded holes in plastics. * The Cool Tool GmbH makes the Styro-Cut 3D hot-wire cutter for making shapes out of blocks of polystyrene and other foams. * MS Plastic Welders will show laser cutters from Germany.
