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:
Intelligent Toolholder Enables Real-Time Process Control
Equipped with a sensor, battery, and transmitting unit, Schunk’s iTENDO toolholder is a closed-loop data acquisition tool that securely gathers and shares process data that operators can immediately react to.
High-Speed Marking and Cleaning Tools
Andreas Maier AMF marking and cleaning tools are available from Platinum Tooling Technologies. Both are mounted directly onto the machine’s spindle and can function with or without rotation.
Tool-Grinding Software With Form Compensation Feature
NUM launches form compensation option for Numroto tool grinding software. Compared to most competitive products on the market, the software provides a much more direct and efficient path between tool design, manufacture, and verification. NUM’s new form compensation option is compatible with Numroto version 4.1.2 or later.
Replaceable Drill Tip Cuts Tooling Costs and Eliminates Process Steps
Kennametal’s flat-bottom FEG insert for the KenTIP FS modular drill series eliminates end milling operations and completes a task in a single operation, saving time and tooling costs. Applicable in steel, cast iron, and stainless steels.
Abrasive Belt Machine Works With Coated And Nonwoven Nylon Belts
Use Dynabrade’s Dynastraight hand-held abrasive tools for removal and finishing tasks on a wide variety of materials. A muffler reduces noise levels in the workplace.
Enhance Safety By Eliminating Workarounds
Reaching tough weldments on a homemade fixture can force welders to climb ladders, crawl around on the floor, manually move heavy parts, or engineer other risky access solutions. Bluco’s modular fixturing provides the flexibility they need to safely solve difficult welding challenges.
Lightweight but Extremely Strong T-Beams for Automotive Applications
Bilsing Automation’s lightweight but extremely strong carbon fiber (CF) T-beams for high-speed tandem presses increase productivity by enabling automotive manufacturers to handle multiple parts from a single stamping die. They adapt to any robotic application.
Reverse Engineering for Dummies
The only end-to-end inspection software dedicated to model-based definition (MBD) and built on a CAD/CAM platform, Verisurf 2020 enhances reverse engineering with a surface modeling option and other practical features.
Next-Generation Hand-Held Electronic Micrometers
The 733.1 outside micrometer is one of more than 100 new hand-held measuring tools from L.S. Starrett. The products feature enhanced electronics, ergonomic design, larger readout display, and longer battery life thanks to auto-shutoff.
Designing Inspection Fixturing is Virtually Foolproof
The latest version of Renishaw’s 3D fixture-modelling software creates a metrology setup around a CAD model of an inspected part. With FixtureBuilder 8.0, users don’t need a coordinate measuring machine or other inspection device to confirm accuracy.
System Simplifies Robotic Mobile Quality Inspection
OnRobot’s updated Eyes robot vision system sorts, inspects, and picks-and-places parts using color and contour – what the company calls one-shot detection – instead of workpiece teaching, greatly reducing cycle times and easing the programming process.
Hardness Tester Supports Two Measurement Protocols
Mitutoyo America’s HR-600 does both Rockwell hardness testing and Light Force Brinell testing, expanding the range of available measurements. It’s the company’s first hardness tester with a moving head.
