The “ZERO GRAVITY” articulated arms

UPT, Italian dealer of the KHAMA-TECH brand, presents the “ZERO GRAVITY”: articulated arms designed to completely neutralize the weight of tools and equipments in machining operations. In the sheet metal world, working and carpentry in general, the direction is increasingly oriented towards robotics and automation. Making it easier for operators in the sector therefore becomes a priority to keep up with technological evolution. In this perspective, UPT is offering the “Zero Gravity” articulated arm at its booth at Lamiera 2025, a solution designed to assist the operator in lifting and handling operations. The articulated arms of the ZGD-ZGT series have been designed to completely neutralize the heavy and prolonged weight of tools such as grinders, screwdrivers, drills and markers. Thanks to the counter-balanced gas pistons, the movement is balanced, fluid and comfortable in any working position. The acronym ZGD identifies the double articulated arm with a working field of 1,350 mm, while ZGT refers to the triple arm model, which extends the operating field up to 2,000 mm. Both models reduce the weight of the mounted tool to zero, with adjustable gas springs to adapt to different types of equipment: grinders, portable or circular saws and numerous other applications. The lockable version of the series maintains the same balance characteristics as the standard version, with the addition of a special lock that allows the equipment to be kept at a fixed height, while simultaneously allowing 360° rotation across the entire work area. The manipulator can be equipped with customized gripping systems based on the specific needs of the user: pneumatic gripper, manual gripper, vacuum system or suction cup and magnet. This versatility allows adaptation to a wide range of components and processes. During the trade fair, UPT will present a practical demonstration of the system’s potential: an articulated arm configured to serve glasses of drinks, intuitively illustrating the precision and fluidity of the movements that characterize this technology.

DUAL NC series for bending applications

Founded in 2012, in a few years STEP Automation has been able to carve out its own space, both in the area nationally and internationally, where it has become a supplier of many manufacturers of bending systems. Recently the company is expanding its range of action thanks to the development of specific projects for the automation of folding machines and traditional hydraulic presses. STEP Automation proposes itself as a partner technology to develop specific and customized control systems e programming. At LAMIERA 2025 the company shows especially the new generation Dual NC series that offers a higher level of efficiency in programming and control for sheet metal machines. The versatility of a dual monitor virtual DUAL22 and DUAL27, the newest member of the family Rock, offers a dual virtual monitor that allows you to work with maximum efficiency, having them all information under control. Based on wide and robust capacitive display, with Full HD resolution, 4GB RAM memory and a state memory 128GB ultra-fast solid. Dual arises from the need to have an area of the screen to dedicate to activities auxiliary to bending through a double virtual monitor. This allows you to meet a need which has manifested itself in many applications through the adoption of a second monitor, typically placed above the main cnc, through a single cnc, of large dimensions, positioned vertically and consists of two functionally distinct graphic areas. In the second monitor area, you can view useful documents such as images, videos or Pdfs, which can be uploaded even from your mobile device, and visible and accessible during the production. What is traditionally used as a paper support (drawings of the piece, specific details of the tooling or production sequence) becomes multimedia content available on the upper screen. The operator can also choose the contents of the dual virtual monitor to suit your own needs and preferences. Thus, the traditional productive screen can be matched to the designs of the piece, or to photographic or video attachments. Or the definition of the sequence can be combined with the display of the equipment of the machine, so as to allow adoption of variations in progress, so fast and efficient. Also available the support of a WebCam, which can for example, resume handling of the back gauge, rather than the phase of bending. 5.0 ready Dual offers a package complete with functionality, from an Industry 4.0 and 5.0 perspective, for production management, real-time monitoring of the plant and energy saving strategies and monitoring . All stages of production are appropriately registered in a relational database, so as to constitute complete documentation it can also be used remotely and can be integrated in company management. Other functionality the organization is available of predictive maintenance, constituted from modules that any manufacturer can define and customize to manage al better the typical features of your system. Again with a view to 5.0, new technologies installed in the CN Dual allow to carry out a series of operations from remote such as technical assistance through dedicated software, machine status monitoring through cloud reporting and system integration into a smart factory, through support for the MTConnect industrial communication standard and IoT support through MQTT protocol.

This dedication has led to the creation of a combined system that integrates the semi-automatic PTS-2 bench with the SK-5AP/KS automatic welding head, representing a significant step forward in improving welding process performance. The PTS-2 semi-automatic bench stands out for its power and cost-effectiveness, facilitating the precise welding of a wide range of fasteners. Thanks to its semi-automatic or fully automatic stud feeding system, the PTS-2 ensures speed and efficiency in operations. This feature makes it a preferred choice for companies that require high-quality standards and productivity in their manufacturing process. Completing this system is the SK-5AP/KS stud welding head, designed to be slim and compact. One of its most appreciated features is the stud feeding system, which allows quick conversion for various diameters, ranging from Ø2 to M10. Additionally, the lift height and immersion depth are easily readable on a clear digital display, enabling operators to simplify and make welding parameter adjustments more precise. To ensure optimal results, it is recommended that an operator properly prepares the welding surfaces. Using a specific liquid significantly enhances weld quality, particularly on galvanized sheets, reducing the adhesion of spatter and unwanted oxides. This type of product, formulated without silicone and free of hazardous vapors, is ideal for surfaces that can be washed with water, ensuring both safety and efficiency in the production process. Furthermore, being manufactured according to strict industrial standards, it minimizes the risks associated with uncertified “DIY” preparations.
