IMTS 2012parts needed to service and monitor a plant’s machinesto the components necessary for safe and environmentallyresponsible operations.• Metal CuttingHere is where attendees will find innovations in metalcuttingequipment, machining centers, turning centers, drillingsystems, boring machines, milling machines and more.• Quality AssuranceThis pavilion houses the metrology equipment and systemsto keep processes on track and ensure the quality of aplant’s output. Also on display will be equipment that willcheck the accuracy of your machines.• Tooling and Workholding SystemsThe latest technology will minimize setup and machiningtime. Good tooling can give new capability to older equipment.State-of-the-art workholding systems will be featured.• IANA—Industrial Automation North America at IMTSThis is the newest pavilion at IMTS. International show organizerDeutsche Messe, producer of Hanover Messe, will showcaseexhibitors featuring all areas of industrial automation.Show ConferencesIANA is also aligned with three conferences at IMTS. TheGlobal Automation & Manufacturing Summit is a two-day seniorlevelconference, September 12 and 13. Key topics include:enterprise asset management, process optimization, energymanagement and sustainability manufacturing. Additionally,case studies on how plants have automated for profitability,improved performance of existing assets and reducing maintenancecosts will be presented. The Motion, Drives & AutomationConference September 10 and 11 will have two conferencetracks—1) Motion Control in Automation, and 2) Hydraulicsand Pneumatics in Automation—for engineers and individualstasked with improving performance, productivity, life, efficiency,and environmental footprint of manufacturing equipment and industrialautomation systems.
