FABTECH 2016 Sneak Preview: Forming & Fabricating
The 2016 edition of FABTECH is on track to be one of the largest metal fabrication events ever at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas from November 16-18. This special sneak peek provides technical reviews of some of the machinery, tooling, systems and accessories that will be exhibited in the Forming & Fabricating Pavilion to help you get a head start on navigating the show floor and managing your time while you’re there.
Quick, Accurate Rolling of Medium to Heavy Flat, Angle, Pipe, Tube and Channel Sections
Connected to an ironworker using a Hydraulic Accessory Pack or Porta Power, the RRM2 Radius Roller from Edwards Manufacturing quickly changes from vertical orientation for smaller projects to horizontal for larger, heavier jobs.
New Fiber Laser and Portable Electric Press Brake
The 40 ton GOFORM portable electric press brake from Cincinnati Incorporated uses a 6-axis back gauge that is equipped with HMI control.
Closing the Loop: Strategies for Bending Closed Forms
With a bit of creativity and thought to overcome limitations, it is often possible to form closed profiles and other difficult parts with a standard press brake. Here are some tips on how to do it.
Heavy Duty Moveable Frame Press for Straightening Applications
The PMM 200MD Movable Frame Press from Dake is ideal for assembly work and straightening applications.
Electric Press Brake Efficiently Forms Parts at High Bending Speeds
Using a precision 4-axis back gauge with a fast acting ram and higher bending force, the Dyna-Press 40/15 Plus from LVD Strippit produces extremely consistent, repeatable and accurate parts at a lower cost.
LVD Strippit Opens Midwest Support Center
The Minnesota facility is the first of three U.S. regional support centers that will open in 2016.
A Little TLC Means a Lot to Press Brake Tooling
Press brake tools are the only parts of the machine that ever touch the finished parts being formed. The best precision CNC press brake cannot produce good products with poor tooling, and bad tooling makes all the good hardware in the process – including the machine operator – useless.
Panel Bending Redefined
The TruBend Center 5030 panel bending machine from TRUMPF handles 10 ft long aluminum and mild steel sheets up to 0.120 in thick and stainless steel sheets up to 0.090 in thick.
The Next Push in High Speed Bending
Take a look at how press brake automation continues to optimize the bending process and integrate with other downstream operations from a high speed laser cutting system to transform the “push” demands of the fabricating process into a competitive advantage for your shop.
Active Crowning Improves Part Accuracy
This patented ACSG active crowning technology can solve unpredictable press brake forming issues with sheet metal during fabrication.
CAD/CAM Integrated Press Brake Software
Radbend 2016 press brake software closely links CAD/CAM, Radbend, Radm-ax and Radtube functions with a new style of program and file-type icons for a more unified feel.
