What is LIFT? One of only a handful of Manufacturing USA Institutes across the country, LIFT is a nonprofit, public-private partnership between industry, academia, and government that supports the nation’s economy and enhances its national security by accelerating innovative advanced manufacturing technology and talent development.

In this video, STEM Talent Program Manager Bernie Simms, Learning Lab Manager Jihad Mims, and Learning Lab/Robotics Instructor Isaac Vanover discuss LIFT’s unique mission to research and develop innovative lightweight materials that advance the nation’s military defense and manufacturing capabilities.

According to Mims, “We also realized that there’s a very large skills gap. Over 2.5 million jobs within manufacturing were going unfilled, so to bridge that gap, we also wanted to make sure that education and workforce development was implemented in LIFT’s atmosphere. ”

That’s why you’ll find a wide variety of Amatrol training systems and eLearning curriculum in the LIFT Learning Lab. Amatrol also partnered with LIFT to develop the IGNITE: Mastering Manufacturing high school career and technical education program.

A fully automated cartoner for pouches, featuring robotic collation and loading, was engineered by FANUC’s Authorized System Integrator.

System Operation

Pouches emerge from the customer's pouch form-fill-seal (FFS) machine in a single-file fashion. The M-1iA robot strategically arranges alternate pouches, forming dual lanes at the cartoner infeed. Subsequently, two M-2iA robots precisely stage the pouches within collation fixtures, while an SR-6iA erects auto-bottom cartons and positions them on the carton conveyor. An M-10iD/12 robot expertly picks the staged pouches and deposits them into the erected cartons. The carton's top is then folded and tucked, and a collaborative CRX-10iA robot efficiently removes closed cartons, transferring them onto racks.

Key Advantages

  • Capable of handling 100 pouches per minute
  • Enhanced packaging speed
  • Reduced footprint

In final product production, precision, repeatability, and consistency are key to scaling into production volumes. The H350 3D printer, powered by SAF technology, achieves this for production-grade parts—not just across each print, but build after build and across different printers and locations. Customers can trust the process thanks to the foundation of SAF technology's unparalleled accuracy and repeatability.

Innovative SAF Technology

The foundation of SAF technology's unparalleled accuracy and repeatability lies in its unique time-temperature consistency across the bed and its best-in-class thermal closed-loop control. An important element of fusing particles together relies on temperature and time of fusion. SAF is unique in that the temperature and time for fusing particles are consistent at all points across the bed. To further reinforce consistency, SAF is equipped with the best-in-class thermal closed-loop control.

Advanced Thermal Control

At an impressive 300,000 pixels, SAF's high-resolution thermal camera offers up to 100 times higher pixel density than comparable print head-based powder bed fusion technologies. This remarkable level of detail allows for highly accurate temperature measurements during printing. The H350 features the innovative Vortex Bell, shielding the camera from any interference, ensuring uninterrupted vision and capturing every critical detail at a remarkable 30 frames per second.

Efficient Thermal Control

Precision isn't limited to just capturing data; it also leads to efficient thermal control. The H350's patented optimized heating system configuration is designed using state-of-the-art AI techniques. The heating system's infinite loop design and its unique mesh configuration optimize thermal control of the powder bed, resulting in enhanced efficiency and stability throughout the printing process.

Trust in the Process

Thanks to SAF's improved accuracy and consistency, customers can now trust in the process. Scale your production volumes with the H350 and SAF technology, leading your business into the future of additive manufacturing.
