Long-Life Cutting Fluid Increases Feed and Cutting Speed on Tough Materials
Special EP additives in Coolcut S-50 soluble cutting fluid from Walter Surface Technologies provide extra lubricity to improve the life of saw blades and reduce heat buildup and friction on hard-to-cut metals such as high tensile steel, stainless steel, titanium, aluminum and copper alloys.
oelheld Opens New U.S. Facility
The 24,000 sq ft facility has increased production capacity and storage, an R&D laboratory and a state-of-the-art tanker unloading station.
Getting the Most from Your Clean Air Budget: Five Tips for Small Shops
Get past the initial equipment and installation costs and start thinking about total cost of ownership over time, including direct operating costs such as energy use, filters and maintenance, and indirect costs such as equipment downtime. Here are five ways a small shop can maximize their clean air budget and get more out of their equipment in the long run.
When Repair Isn’t an Option
GTI examines the three main factors that must be considered for spindle replacement in critical high frequency ID grinding operations of aerospace and automotive parts.
Remove VOC Emissions from Coating/Finishing Operations
Zeol Rotor Concentrator Systems from Munters use a patented Honeycombe rotor to create a highly cost-effective adsorption system that is ideal for cost effective abatement of volatile organic compounds from coating/paint finishing and other manufacturing operations.
Move Abrasive, Oily Ferrous Chips and Parts with No Jammed Belts or Clean-Out Maintenance
MagSlide Beltless Chip and Parts Conveyors from Bunting Magnetics use ceramic or rare earth magnets hidden beneath a stainless steel slider bed to move metal along the surface. There are no external conveyor belts to jam, tear or wear out, or external moving parts to fail, compromising safety and productivity.
No More Rework or Cleaning of Parts Due to Corrosion
Clear Pak BIO corrosion inhibitor (VCI) packaging film from Daubert Cromwell is flexible, puncture and tear resistant and uses proprietary, plant-based corrosion inhibitor chemistry to protect valuable metal components during storage and shipment.
Reduce Slag Buildup with Long-Lasting Protection for Laser and Plasma Cutting Tables
E-Weld Plasma from Walter Surface Technologies is a ceramic, water-based, anti-spatter solution that is applied to laser and plasma cutting tables to reduce slag build-up and provide long-lasting protection – even under extreme heat – by inhibiting the adherence of slag.
Live Machine Production Data Anywhere, Anytime Via Email to All Devices
Using FactoryWiz Monitoring and DNC, Anywhere-Remote for Kitamura machine tools boosts production by collecting live unbiased shop floor data, creating baseline metrics and identifying process improvement opportunities.
Connected Metal Fabrication Systems
Using the TruConnect approach to custom manufacture a part, innovative fabricating machinery, automation systems and support technologies from TRUMPF work together to connect information and processes like never before.
DMG MORI and Fuchs Petrolub Collaborate on Technology
