MULTIPLEX W-300Y – Multi-Tasking Technology

The MULTIPLEX W-300Y Multi-Tasking CNC turning center is the industry’s most productive in terms of DONE IN ONE® part processing capabilities. Mazak factory-supplied parts loading/unloading has been enhanced by approximately 20 percent and chip-to-chip times are shorter. The MULTIPLEX W-300Y is equipped with a rack-and-pinion type gantry loader as opposed to previous belt-driven design.

Dr. Kyle S. Saleeby, Mechanical Engineer, Robotics and Additive Manufacturing, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Dr. Kyle S. Saleeby is a research staff member with the Manufacturing Automation and Controls Group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. His research at ORNL’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility focuses on connecting machines and manufacturing processes with Industry 4.0 and Industrial IoT technologies. His current focus centers on applications of data analytics and closed-loop control for Hybrid Manufacturing processes, where additive and subtractive (machining) processes are combined within a single machine tool. Kyle received his B.S. degree in mechanical engineering from MIT in 2017, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2019 and 2021, respectively.

Dr. Thomas R. Kurfess, Chief Manufacturing Officer and Interim Director, Manufacturing Science Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory

Thomas R. Kurfess currently serves as the Chief Manufacturing Officer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. During 2012-2013 he was on leave serving as the Assistant Director for Advanced Manufacturing at the Office of Science and Technology Policy in the Executive Office of the President of the United States of America, where he was responsible for coordinating Federal advanced manufacturing R&D. He was President of SME in 2018, and currently serves on the Board of Governors of the ASME. His research focuses on the design and development of advanced manufacturing systems targeting secure digital manufacturing, additive and subtractive processes, and large-scale production enterprises. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and is a Fellow of ASME, AAAS, and SME.

Manufacturing Automation – When & How to Introduce Automation into Your Shop

Labor shortages, production increases and increased quality requirements all drive the need for machine shops to investigate using automation. In this presentation, we will explore the best ways to begin as well as some of the latest trends in the industry that make automating your shop easier than ever.

Digital Manufacturing Solutions to Enhance Productivity, Quality and Security

The technological foundations of advanced manufacturing continue to evolve rapidly as sensing, cloud computing and storage, and next-generation controllers are introduced everywhere in the manufacturing ecosystem. We will present some of the technical concepts and business models that will enable new technologies and capabilities in the manufacturing sector to be deployed rapidly throughout the U.S. industrial base. We also will share insights into next-generation resilient production operations and business models that favor local and point of assembly manufacturing. As an example of efforts at Manufacturing Demonstration Facility (MDF) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), we will highlight democratization of manufacturing efforts by focusing on the integration of real-time sensor data via edge/fog/cloud operations as applied to state-of-the-art hot wire laser hybrid (additive and subtractive) manufacturing processes.

Both design and manufacturing issues will be addressed as they relate to improved control of next generation production systems. The hybrid system is an ideal platform for digital integration as it combines newer metal additive processes with classical machining capabilities. The talk will conclude with a discussion on some of the more pragmatic issues related to cybersecurity, providing practical methods of protecting critical hardware infrastructure, as digital manufacturing is dependent on a connected machine, plant and supply chain.

Emerging Technologies & Markets: Economic, Manufacturing and Supply Chain Trends Heading into 2022

What is the outlook for U.S. manufacturing given where we are today? Full of growth and opportunity, says Doug Woods, President of AMT. Woods will share what he and the experts at AMT see as the key markets, core technologies and industry trends impacting manufacturing today. He’ll also provide insight into how these drivers will accelerate opportunities and address challenges for manufacturers heading into the future.

Doug Woods

Douglas K. Woods joined AMT as its President in 2009. A lifelong manufacturing professional, Doug is dedicated to promoting the world’s most innovative manufacturing technology and positioning AMT as a leader on issues that impact the industry. In his time at AMT, Doug has led the effort in developing MTConnect, the industry-wide interoperability standard that has grown in usage across a wide scope of manufacturing operations around the world. Additionally, he has overseen the development of MTInsight, a customized manufacturing business intelligence platform, as well as an expansion of AMT’s Global Technology Centers and the growth of IMTS, the largest manufacturing technology event in the western hemisphere. Doug sits on several industry boards, including the Reshoring Initiative, the MTConnect Institute and the National Center for Defense Manufacturing and Machining.
