The Latest Updates in Technology
For more than a decade, we at Fabricating & Metalworking Online have carried stories on the latest machines and equipment to hit the market. Take a look at our latest updates, go back in our archives to see what we’ve written about in the past.
Filter by Process Zone:
High-Speed Cobot Ensures Safety Without Compromising Productivity
Designed to support intermittent interaction between human and industrial robot, ABB Robotics’ 1100 Swifti CRB (for “collaborative robot”) automatically slows, stops, and restarts depending on an employee’s presence in preprogrammed safety zones.
Digital Manufacturing Platform Adds Quality Services
Hardware product teams need not choose between speed and quality because Fictiv delivers both with the integration of new quality services into its digital thread. Customers who depend on precision parts in such industries as robotics, healthcare, aerospace, and automotive have the assurance of consistent manufacturing results at an unprecedented pace.
Scanning Kit for Ultrasound Examinations of Pipe Elbows
When used with any instrument in Zetec’s Topaz family, the ElbowFlex provides high-resolution C-scan images of corrosion and other damage. It saves significant inspection time compared to conventional ultrasonic testing (UT) and grid systems.
Seamless Workflow from CT Scan to Full Statistical Analysis
Volume Graphics integrates Q-DAS’ qs-STAT statistics software with computed tomography (CT) scan data analysis to provide the basis for a deep assessment and continuous improvement of industrial production processes.
Lab-Quality Elemental Analysis In The Field with a Lightweight Tool
The smallest and lightest handheld XRF analyzer available, Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Niton XL5 Plus enables manufacturing professionals to make informed decisions that impact workplace safety while improving productivity and mitigating user fatigue.
Multisensor Vision System Provides Larger Field of View (FOV)
Starrett’s AVR-FOV 0.14X has a 0.14 magnification lens. When combined with “superimage” technology that stitches images together and a touch probe, operators on the shop floor see more of each part, no matter how complex, they inspect.
Reverse Engineering Software Provides Digital Twin That’s Ready for Manufacturing
Designed from the ground up from metrology scan to manufacturable model, REcreate software from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence aims to uncomplicate the reverse engineering digital workflow by reconciling incompatible data types and technologies.
Electronics Evaluation Box for Basic Metrology Applications
Heidenhain’s Gage-Chek 2000 is an embedded plug-and-play system for the company’s encoders that supports measurement of 1D values. Two variants are ideal for positioning tasks on multiple applications.
Easy-to-Operate Measuring Tables Virtually Eliminate Variability
Exact Metrology is representing Raytech Measuring Systems, an Iowa designer and manufacturer of shop floor metrology solutions for measuring sheet metal, fabricated and machined parts, and cut-to-length bar stock. SPC software for quality tracking and reporting reduces operator-to-operator variation.
Optical Measuring Systems Anyone Can Configure
Optoquick or Optoflash optical testing systems from Marposs build efficiency into the measuring process and archive all measurements so they’re easily retrievable. Both technologies feature software updates in five and four models, respectively.
Single-Acting 5-Axis Vise for 6-Sided Machining
An active jaw pull-down function enables Schunk’s Kontec KSX-C2 vise for 5-axis machining centers to securely hold the smallest of parts for machining of a sixth side. Quick-change system enables exchange of a large number of system jaws within seconds without tools.
Excellent-Value Dual-Force Precision Vises
Palmgren’s dual-force precision vises combine quality, high precision and a wide range of clamping capacities at an affordable price. They’re suitable for everything from high-volume production to prototyping.
