MESH Automation to Display Robotic Deburring Cell at the International Manufacturing Technology Show

MESH will be displaying a version of its MiniMAC Grind Deburring cell at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in the ABB Robotics booth.

MESH Automation, Inc. will be displaying a version of its MiniMAC Grind Deburring cell at the International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) in the ABB Robotics booth.


The cell features an ABB IRB 2600 robot and a multiple-purpose end-of-arm tool mounted to the robot. The deburring and pre-machining system automatically removes excess material from die-cast aluminum parts. The parts arrive from the casting deck, are inspected, and loaded into one of the two fixtured shuttles in the MiniMAC, the robot and tool remove the unwanted materials from each part and the finished part is returned to the operator complete.

Other features of the MiniMAC Grind System include choices in robot model, part presentation techniques, and tooling used to remove excess materials. Each MiniMAC cell and the larger MAC and MegaMAC cells offer an array of pre-engineered productivity-improving benefits to the high and medium volume producers of cast and machined parts. High levels of overall equipment efficiency and machine availability offered by the MAC productivity platforms provide consistent quality and cycle times in a competitive and compact package.

IMTS - The International Manufacturing Technology Show, the largest and longest-running industry trade show in the Western Hemisphere, is held every other year at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois. IMTS 2022, which will run September 12-17, 2022.

The ABB Robotics booth and the MESH MiniMAC will be located in North Building Level 3, booth number 236520. The booth will also include demonstrations of the latest robot and cobot technologies in a variety of industrial and non-industrial applications.

The MESH family of MAC cells are designed and proven to lower labor costs, lower ergonomic claims and offer consistent throughput to ease production planning needs.

MESH Automation is an ABB Robotics Value Provider, located in Dawsonville, Georgia that provides a standard line of pre-engineered robotic function modules and custom automation equipment for a variety of industries and applications.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
