Hypertherm Accepts Educational Grant Applications
Their Spark Something Great program enters its fourth year in supporting the next generation of welders and metal fabricators in plasma cutting.
How to Put Seeming Waste to Good Use
Coal-fired power plants are turning to ash removal conveyors that eliminate the need and use of ash ponds and support EPA regulations on the safe disposal of coal ash in landfills and surface impoundments. This job shop fabricated five of these large, sophisticated submerged scrapper conveyor systems, which one power plant now uses to recycle coal ash, conserve natural resources and save energy.
Burning Beams in No Time
For some insights into remaining successful and competitive, take a closer look at how this fabrication shop won more structural business by investing in an automated beam line that transformed their entire operation into becoming more efficient and competitive.
Hypertherm Celebrates Milestone
What began as a small two-car garage operation grew into a staple of industrial cutting innovation over 50 years.
Plasma Beveling Gets Smart
The DMX Automated Plasma Beveller from ESAB cuts the full range of weld preparations, including V, Y, X, and K bevels, with cut angles up to 45 deg on materials up to 50 mm.
AHB Tooling & Machinery Acquires Division of Westbrook Engineering
Adding the new machinery sales division reinforces their position as a full-service metalworking distributor.
New Class of High Definition Plasma Cutting on Mild Steel, Stainless, and Aluminum
The XPR300 300 amp plasma system from Hypertherm can use X-Definition plasma technology to deliver ISO-9013 Range 2 cut quality on thin mild steel and extended ISO Range 3 cuts on thicker metals, including squarer cut edges, markedly less angularity, and excellent surface finish on non-ferrous metals like aluminum and stainless steel.
Next-Generation Plasma Beveling Technology Increases Productivity with Minimal Operator Intervention
The DMX Automated Plasma Beveller from ESAB uses SmartBevel Technology for easier programming and accurate cutting of a full range of weld preparations, including V, Y, X, and K bevels, with cut angles up to 45 deg on materials up to 50 mm.
Innovative Plasma Cutting Technology Breaks Multi-Process Barriers
The Plasma Nova system from Soitaab combines plasma cutting with a straight or bevel head, oxy-fuel cutting, various kinds of marking, variable size drilling and tapping, and even 3-dimensional shapes like pipe cutting by using heavy duty Dual Side Drives and Digital Controllers to maintain excellent positioning accuracy and cut tolerances across the entire working area.
U.S. Machine Tool Orders Accelerate
June manufacturing technology orders climbed 6.5 percent over May to $373.2 million.
A New Beam of Light
Talk about serious payback: A technology upgrade to a seven-axis robotically-controlled plasma cutting system paid off tenfold for this Montana fabricator. They even hired more than a dozen people to handle the increased workload generated by the new system.
Automated Power Sources for High Precision Plasma Cutting of Thick Plate
Featuring a common cabinet and components and StepUp modular technology that allows users to increase output from 100 amps to 400 amps by adding inverter blocks, I-Series plasma cutting power sources from ESAB deliver higher productivity and the industry’s lowest cost of operation through longer consumables life.
