Fiber Laser Marking for a Wide Range of Requirements
The TruMark 5020 fiber laser marker with VisionLine Mark image processing software from TRUMPF uses high pulse frequencies and superior pulse-to-pulse stability that is ideal for metal applications where high speed and superior edge quality are required.
Versatile, Economic, Automatic Horizontal Bandsaw
By automatically adjusting blade speed and downfeed rate cutting parameters to the material grade and shape, the HBE Dynamic Series Horizontal Bandsaw from Behringer permits operators to create flexible material programs using cutting data based on specific material grade for improved quality and cutting rates.
Versatile, Efficient, Economical and Advanced Sawing Systems
The S-280CNC General Purpose Swivel, the DS-400CNC General Purpose Dual Swivel and the 400-S StructurALL Series Band Saws from DoALL are ideal for small to medium job shops, maintenance facilities, tool and manufacturing plants.
Versatile Vertical Bandsaw Cuts Structural Steel, Solid Bars, Pipe, Tubing, Tool Steel
The counterbalanced tilting saw head on the MV2018 bandsaw from MetalMizer has pre-stop detents located at both 45 deg angles and the vertical position for fast, easy operator adjustment, and a 3 deg forward tilt to optimize feed rate on entry when cutting structural steel, solid bars, pipe, tubing, and tool steel.
Advanced Dual-Column Automatic Horizontal Band Saw
Ideal for high production operations, the G320 dual-column automatic horizontal band saw from Cosen Saws uses pre-installed proprietary cloud-based technology that monitors sawing performance data in real time.
Lean Pulsed Fiber System Welds, Marks and Cuts Metals, Plastics and Dissimilar Metals
The versatile, high power, high speed laser LMWS Pulsed Fiber Laser Welding System from Amada Miyachi America can weld copper to aluminum, aluminum to stainless and steel, and copper to stainless steel.
Intelligent Nesting Software Improves Sheet Yields up to 15 Percent
The intelligent sheet optimizing technology of V29 Nesting CAD/CAM software from BobCAD-CAM delivers advanced nesting power to increase material usage for sheet cutting on CNC mill, router, laser, plasma and waterjet machines.
High Pressure Pumps Double Waterjet Productivity, Reduce Abrasive Costs
Available with dual heads to double productivity, the 90,000 psi PRO-III 125 hp pump from KMT Waterjet runs a .016 orifice that can reduce cutting time in half.
Ultra-High Precision Waterjet Cutting
The MicroMAX Gen 2 abrasive waterjet system from OMAX has a Tilt-A-Jet cutting head to achieve virtually zero taper and is capable of a positioning accuracy of less than five microns.
