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:
Ambient Dust Collection Gets Easier
The ductless, ceiling-mounted Vista360 dust collector from RoboVent is an ambient system that uses multiple collectors to create circular air patterns in the facility that continually pull contaminated air into the filtration unit and push clean, filtered air back into the shop.
Why Shops are Demanding Fast but Mobile Bending Systems
The Xpert 40, 80 and 150 press brakes from Bystronic are ideal for shops that need a small and versatile powerhouse for bending small to medium-sized parts up to a bending length of approximately 5 ft and a maximum thickness of ¾ in.
Taking Shape: Structural Fabrication
Here are some of the latest advances in welding and plasma cutting equipment, fixturing, materials and PPE that can help welding operators increase their productivity, improve quality and safety, and reduce their operating costs in the fabrication of large, heavy, robust parts.
Automated Climate Control System for Large Diameter Fans
The AirEffect climate control system from MacroAir measures temperature and humidity at two points, calculates the heat index and identifies the best operating speed and direction for each fan.
Advanced Systems for Superior Metal Bending
With TruBend 5000 and 7000 Series press brakes and the automated TruBend Cell 7000 from TRUMPF, shops get innovative angle measuring, automatically controlled bending and the world’s fastest bending of small parts.
Intuitive Information Management for Press Brake Operations
Priced to achieve ROI in less than one year, the VIDERE system for Mitsubishi BB and BH series press brakes from MC Machinery Systems supplies real-time information and intuitive assist features to operators in an easily understandable and readable format.
Advanced Press Brake Flexibility for a Wide Range of Bending Applications
Ideal for a wide range of bending jobs, PPED Series hydraulic press brakes from LVD Strippit are practical and easy to use, combining a multi-axis backgauge, CNC crowning system, and a 15 in version of the exclusive TOUCH-B graphical icon-driven CNC controller for greater flexibility and enhanced capability in a variety of bending applications.
Automated Power Sources for High Precision Plasma Cutting of Thick Plate
Featuring a common cabinet and components and StepUp modular technology that allows users to increase output from 100 amps to 400 amps by adding inverter blocks, I-Series plasma cutting power sources from ESAB deliver higher productivity and the industry’s lowest cost of operation through longer consumables life.
High-Strength, Corrosion Resistant, Metric-Sized Metal Shapes and Parts for Energy Industry Applications
Ideal for wind turbine, infrastructure, offshore platform equipment, earth moving equipment, cranes and forklifts used in nuclear, wind, electrical, and natural gas power applications where pre-sized metric parts are needed, these materials from Parker Steel can be shipped out the same day as ordered with very few exceptions.
Fixturing for Very Large, Heavy, Robust Parts
M12 plates and components in Modular Fixturing from R&R Fixtures are strong and sturdy for the stability needed to easily and efficiently hold very large, heavy, robust parts, no matter how substantial.
Multi-Process Welding in a Flexible, Rugged Package for Heavy Applications
Capable of gouging with up to a ½ in thick carbon steel, the Flextec 650X multi-process welder from Lincoln is ideal for large diameter stick, flux-cored, MIG or submerged arc welding on thick materials used in construction, shipbuilding and heavy fabrication.
Heavy Duty Combination Torch for Construction, Heavy Fabrication and More
The Victor Plus Torch from ESAB has a WH 315FC+ handle with built-in flashback arrestors and reverse flow check valves, a new CA 2460+ cutting attachment with a contoured cutting oxygen lever that makes it easier for the operator to feather the cutting oxygen, and a torch head with thicker brass to improve abrasion resistance.
