Ultrasonic Spot Welder Provides Consistent High-Quality Results
Attention, electric vehicle component manufacturers! According to Emerson Automation Solutions, the Branson GMX-20 MA’s dual linear bearing design makes the actuator the most rigid and precise actuator in the ultrasonic metal welding market.
Two Versatile Bandsaws
The EXT at the end of these two Wellsaw model numbers stands for “extra.” The 1316S-EXT swivel-head miter bandsaw provides extra-wide capacity, and the V20F-24 EXT vertical bandsaw provides extra-tall capacity.
48-Inch-Diameter Table Blast System
Although Viking Blast & Wash System is primarily a custom manufacturer, the company gets enough requests for a 48-inch table blaster that the one-wheel machine’s a standard offering. Add a second wheel to completely blast an intricate part or lower cycle time.
Re-engineered Vacuum Furnace Accommodates Various Sizes, Speeds, and Processes
Featuring intuitive control software with an extensive material database and process simulation, Ipsen’s updated Turbo2Treater supports a wide range of hardening processes. Compact design fits in standard truck or shipping container.
Compact Sheet Metal Fabricating System Safely Handles Wide Variety of Materials
Featuring gull wing doors on the front and back and side sliding windows, the fully enclosed FiberCELL fiber laser cutter from Kern Laser Systems enhances shop floor safety without compromising part loading and unloading. Available in six wattages.
Integrated Controls and Data Management Optimize Powder Coating
Gema’s OptiCenter All-in-One combines electrostatic delivery and powder delivery into a single control unit. MagicControl 4.0 data management system enables complete automation that provides consistent-quality powder coating.
Wider, Taller Crane System Adapts Where It’s Needed
Engineered Material Handling’s NOMAD XW, the latest in its modular, freestanding line of bridge cranes, assembles easily with bolts and most can be installed without footers, thanks to practical design details. Choose from options to suit 1- to 4-cell manufacturing systems, as well as optional travel speeds, and battery or rechargeable radio controller.
Fast, Powerful 5-Axis VMC Simplifies Program Simulations
The VARIAXIS i-800 NEO from Mazak features optional proprietary technology that optimizes processing and facilitates more accurate configuration of machine programs. Easy automation helps less experienced operators quickly build confidence to run complex parts.
Next Gen Horizontal Machining Center Expands Range of Applications
Mazak’s HCN-6800 NEO comes with upgraded standard features and numerous options, too. Its cycle times are faster, its footprint is smaller, and its range of part and tool capacities are wider.
New AM Alloy Swings Open 3D Options for Turbines and More
EOS NickelAlloy IN939 from German 3D metals printer company, EOS, combines high-temperature strength – at over 1500 degrees F – with crack and corrosion resistance. Its potential ranges from industrial gas turbine and microturbine parts to turbochargers, power industry parts and other extreme-conditions applications.
Specialty Purging Prevents Oxidation in CMV Steel Welds
Available in many pipe sizes, HotPurge from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT is an inflatable, specialty system designed to address the inherent challenges of keeping mechanical properties intact. Through continuous purging, it can maintain oxygen levels below 100 ppm.
The Ultimate CNC Tube Bending for Subcontractors
Unison’s 130-mm diameter tube bender is a robust, multiradius and multistack machine with the benefit of additional component length to give buyers an edge in the subcontractor marketplace. Users are able to achieve right-first-time manufacturing for repeat subcontract work.
