Vention, a next-generation digital manufacturing platform for automated equipment, today unveiled MachineLogic™, a code-free visual sequence editor that empowers manufacturing professionals to automate their equipment in an intuitive cloud and local environment.


Accessible from Vention's cloud-based MachineBuilder 3D, MachineLogic enables its users to develop comprehensive automation sequences online in the context of the 3D model. Developed automation sequences can be fully simulated inside MachineBuilder 3D and then access directly from physical equipment that are powered by Vention's MachineMotion controller.

When running MachineLogic™ from physical equipment, the MachineMotion Pendant provides full digital continuity with the ability to further edit or run automation sequences in an Admin or Operator mode. Vention's automation platform, including MachineLogic, is available directly from Vention's website, without the need to download or install any
software.

MachineLogic™ supports the entire library of plug-and-play components from Vention, including, belts actuators, ball screw actuators, rotary indexers, automated conveyors, sensors, and encoders. Additional external I/Os are also supported through Vention's I/O expansion module.

"MachineLogic™ defines a new category of software aimed at empowering all manufacturing professionals to automate their shop floors without the complexity of traditional automation development environment" said Michel Launier, Lead Automation Architect, at Vention.

"MachineLogic™, combined with MachineBuilder 3D and the MachineMotion controller, enables our clients to self-design and commission industrial automation projects at a fraction of the time and cost than it is possible today," added Etienne Lacroix, CEO and Founder at Vention.

The benefits of MachineLogic™ for end users include:

Highly intuitive and code-free environment to develop automation sequences
Integrated inside Vention's cloud-based MachineBuilder 3D, for kinematic simulations of equipment
Full digital continuity with any physical equipment powered by Vention's MachineMotion controller
Compatible with Vention's entire library of plug-and-play components
Clients interested by MachineLogic™ and MachineMotion are invited to access the software directly at

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs

Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
