RÖDERMARK, GERMANY – A new A-RMXY2-60S-CCD from Schmoll Maschinen GmbH has been installed at Ilfa's manufacturing facility in Hanover.
With its new Schmoll unit, the company will realise high-precision depth milling with a tolerance of +/- 5 µm. A high-resolution CCD camera is used for optical registration, which automatically detects a wide variety of surfaces such as copper, tin or gold.
The system has an automatic loading and unloading system, and the drilling and milling machine performs its tasks autonomously – up to 10 different product configurations can be run. The drilling or milling depth is controlled by an integrated measuring system in the Z-axis motor.
"Thanks to the high precision in depth milling, the machine supports us specifically on our technological growth course, which envisages investments in the double-digit millions for the Hanover location. In the first step, the drilling and milling machine will support us in the production of printed circuit boards for sensitive medical technology," the company writes in the press release.
PITTSBURGH – Deepening its commitment to democratizing simulation, Ansys (NASDAQ: ANSS) announced the launch of the Ansys Developer portal to make tools for developers more accessible —the new digital space will better enable the Ansys ecosystem and connect users and Ansys experts in all areas of simulation.
The Ansys Developer portal brings together developer tools from the entire Ansys portfolio into a single hub with documentation, examples, guides, and use cases. The portal equips users to accelerate their work by extending simulation workflows across the Ansys portfolio. It also includes a community forum for customers, partners, and internal developers to collaborate, share ideas, ask questions, and suggest features while providing direct access to open-source initiatives like the PyAnsys project Python libraries.
Ansys is committed to providing customers with the tools needed to speed innovation and achieve goals. By simplifying and streamlining the availability of this set of resources, Ansys is enabling engineers, architects, and developers to better design new solutions for automating repetitive and complex simulations and workflows across physics and engineering domains. Facilitating access to these resources through the portal will significantly reduce the time required to complete tasks and minimize the potential for errors. The portal is a key foundation for building new solutions in simulation, including those used to train artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) models.
Customers across all industries will benefit from the tools and support provided by the Ansys Developer portal.
