3DExperience World 2024 took place in Dallas, Texas this year and Tormach had a strong presence in the 3DExperience Playground area, where show goers got to interact with our ZA6 industrial robot, the 24R router, the 1100 MX CNC mill, and the xsTECH desktop router. Attendees who visited the Tormach area received a leather stamp (either a star or the state of Texas) which was crafted on the 1100MX mill. Our machining experts were on hand during the entire event running demos on the machines, while interacting with engineers, machinists, students, and other industry professionals. You can view photos and videos from this exciting event below.

Tormach software engineer Brandon Duarte will walk you through the exciting new features in the latest PathPilot® software update for the ZA6 industrial robot. These user-friendly updates will enhance your programming and operation experience.

In a YouTube live session, a member of the Tormach team dove into the intricacies of cutting soft jaws on our 770MX CNC mill. This project is specifically for a triangular-shaped part with a significant radius. We were excited to tackle this challenge, considering the complexities that arise when attempting to machine such unconventional parts.

A laser safety area scanner is a device you can use with Tormach’s ZA6 industrial robot to help ensure a safe workspace. For this quick tip video we are using the Keyence safety scanner, which creates a protective plane that detects objects that intersect its path. As objects come closer to this plane, the scanner signals the ZA6 industrial robot by activating either a warning or a safety input.

Do you want to learn more about integrating the ZA6 industrial robot with your 1100MX CNC mill? This ZA6 robot quick tip video, hosted by Tormach CEO Daniel Rogge, will walk you through the physical setup and networking process to ensure seamless communication and efficient operations between these two powerful tools.

As an intern at Tormach, Sadiq Wanyaka found himself thrust into the world of robot arms, a terrain he initially knew little about. His primary role involved writing test programs for the Tormach ZA6 industrial robot, alongside crafting tutorial-style programs shared on GitHub. His journey from software development to the intricacies of robotics was unexpected but incredibly rewarding for the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater student, as you can see in the video below.
