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:
Small-Footprint Part Loader Increases CNC Machine Productivity
Offering a payload of 26.45 pounds each, Halter CNC Automation’s three Compact robot models save on factory floor space, making it easier for manufacturers to automate part loading and unloading of lathes and mills.
Robot-Based Press-Automation Solution
ABB Robotics’ IRB 760PT is the basis of two configurations – the FX and the TRX – that optimize speed and minimize die interference in press-tending applications. The robot provides a flexible automation solution that’s easily repurposed to handle changing requirements.
Electric Rolling Device on Tube End Forming Machine
The addition of a CNC electric rolling device on BLM Group’s E-Form machine offers repeatability in part production. With punches reaching up to 10 tons of force, E-FORM molds tubes of various materials up to 30 mm in diameter.
App Helps Avoid Welding Failures in the Field
Lincoln Electric’s NEXTime preventative maintenance app for Ranger welder/generators monitors critical functions to ensure field workers are working instead of troubleshooting productivity-sapping machine-operation issues.
Weld Purging with Preheat
Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT’s HotPurge minimizes the potential for cracking when welding the high-strength steel pipes used in power generation projects. The inflatable purging system is reusable.
Four Tools for Even Better Robotic Welding
Fronius increases seam quality without slowing cycle time with robotic assistance systems by making the wire electrode a sensor as well as filler metal. This eliminates the time and expense of maintaining sensor hardware and doesn’t restrict component accessibility.
Will These Two Materials Safely Join?
Coldwater Machine’s free “Will it Meld” calculator enables manufacturers to easily determine if two dissimilar materials can be joined using the company’s SpinMeld rotary friction welding systems.
Revolutionary Handheld Laser Welding System for Fabricators
IPG Photonics launches simple, flexible LightWELD, which welding novices can use within a few hours. Experienced MIG and TIG welders benefit from rapid processing capabilities to weld thick, thin and reflective metals with minimal distortion.
Machining Center Handles Large Workpieces in a Small Footprint
Campro USA introduces its second-generation 5-axis machining center, the NU550, which delivers big versatility in a small area –– incorporate it in a manufacturing cell with automatic loading, machine transfer robotics or AGV transfers.
Clamp Virtually Any Workpiece Geometry
SMW Autoblok’s versatile four-in-one Centco4 2+2 self-centering and compensating chuck minimizes downtime by reducing changeouts and minimizes waste by reducing part deformation.
Five Tools From Big Kaiser
The producer of high-precision tooling solutions introduces a drill for low cutting speeds, dual-purpose milling cutter, jet-through hydraulic chuck line for 5-axis machining, and new EWA fine boring heads and EWE digital boring heads.
Round Inserts Improve Profiling With Long Overhangs In Narrow Grooves
Sandvik Coromant -RM inserts for CoroCut QD for Y-axis parting enables profiling with long overhangs in narrow grooves, external profiling, the generation of recesses and undercuts, and the potential to use nonlinear turning and grooving with a full radial bottom.
