The Kurt Engineered Systems Division is a combination of the Custom Engineered Workholding group, the Electronics Division and partnerships with robotic integrators. Demonstrated at IMTS 08 will be a Fanuc LR Mate 200iC six axis robot interacting with a Kurt CTHDM6 hydraulic tower mounted to a Haas HRT310 fourth-axis indexer and a Kurt gage. The CTHDM6 tower will be modified and plumbed for double acting hydraulics that will allow sensing positive movement when the workholding closes and opens on a part to be machined. The fully-automated gage will measure and record features on the machined part. Recorded data for process control, product traceability and process capability studies will be captured and displayed in real time.
