Focusing on the myriad of goods needed to run a plant, the Machine Components/Cleaning/Environmental Pavilion will offer everything from the parts to service and monitor machines to the components necessary for safe and environmentally responsible operations.
The Metal Cutting Pavilion is the centre of the very foundation of the machine tool industry. Here, visitors will find the latest innovations in metal cutting equipment including machining centres, turning centres and the entire range of metal cutting technology.
The Quality Assurance Pavilion features metrology equipment and systems that keep processes on track, as well as the equipment that will check the accuracy of machines.
The Tooling & Workholding Systems Pavilion offers all the necessities and innovative solutions to tooling challenges. Here, visitors can maximise the investment in their machinery and equipment by finding the latest technology that will allow for minimum setup and machining time, give new capabilities to older equipment and explore the latest in state-of-the-art workholding systems.
Concurrent shows
IMTS 2014 will also feature two co-located shows, Industrial Automation North America at IMTS and Motion, Drive & Automation North America at IMTS. Industrial Automation North America made its debut as a co-located show with IMTS in 2012. Returning in 2014, it is sure to showcase the best in process, factory, and building automation. The 2014 introduction of Motion, Drives & Automation North America (MDA NA) further expands the range of technologies and solutions presented at IMTS by bringing together the power transmission, motion control and fluid technology sectors. Both of these events are being developed by IMTS partner, Hannover Fairs, USA.
Conference
Educational opportunities will abound. The four day IMTS 2014 Conference runs Sept. 8-11 and is slated to include 69 sessions that explore topics including materials engineering, manufacturing technology and trends, alternative manufacturing processes, metrology/quality and plant operations. Conferences sponsored by Hannover Fairs USA during the week are the Motion, Drives & Automation Conference, ISA Inside: Training Sessions at Industrial Automation North America and the Global Automation and Manufacturing Summit. The CleanTech Conference will be offered by the Midwest Global Alliance. EOS North America is offering its North American Users Conference. IMTS will once again welcome 9,000-plus students and educators to expose them to the career opportunities in manufacturing through hands-on learning and networking with industry professionals.
