Metal Forming & Fabricating Product Showcase

Take a closer look at some of the latest advances in metal fabrication machinery, software and accessories that might help you increase productivity, improve quality and reduce costs.

Posted: March 14, 2018

For punching, shearing (round, square, angle, flat bar), coping, notching and forming in one machine, the MM Series Complete Five-Station Fabrication Center (right) from Kalamazoo Metal Muncher provides a two-cylinder/two person operation that allows the punch and shear end to be operated separately, independently and simultaneously at full capacity and speed. Their economical GB Series Hydraulic Punch Press (left) is ideal for shops that use a wide range of standard and optional accessories and can be fitted with special tooling for shearing or forming of custom jobs.

Economical Ironworkers and Punch Presses for Full Fabrication of Standard and Custom Jobs
The two-cylinder/two-person operation of the MM Series Complete Five-Station Fabrication Center from Kalamazoo Metal Muncher allows the punch and shear end to be operated separately, independently and simultaneously at full capacity and speed. Their GB Series Hydraulic Punch Press can also be fitted with special tooling to allow shearing or forming.

Economical High Precision Bending
Ideal for entry into precision bending, the TruBend 3100 press brake from TRUMPF is simple to operate, accurate and reliable, with a multi-axis backgauge that can move across the entire 118 in length of the machine bed for unrestricted use when bending complex part geometries at the ends of the machine.

How to Optimize Additive Manufacturing Designs
3DXpert for SolidWorks from 3D Systems is an integrated system that gives designers a direct path for preparing and optimizing their SolidWorks designs for both plastic and metal additive manufacturing, creating the design freedom to produce complex geometries, lightweight parts without compromising strength, and apply surface texture to deliver functional or aesthetic benefits.

Economical Spray Washer for Very Large, Heavy Machined Parts
Large gears, aviation components, large molds and dunnage parts can be loaded with an overhead hoist crane onto a rotating table for cleaning in the Ransohoff Mega Jet Pressure Blast from Cleaning Technologies Group, where the high pressure spray impingement is manipulated by hand to the various geometries of the parts.

Simulation of Tube Embossing and Bending for Roll Formers
Roll forming procedures, pre- and post-processing steps can be optimally calculated to improve the forming process as a whole using COPRA FEA RF software from data M, which visualizes and verifies the production process within a virtual environment to prevent deviations during production.

Bladderless Fluid Forming of Seamless, High Pressure Metal Tubing
The FormBalancer FB42 from FluidForming Americas can create larger single prototypes or oversized high-run parts of titanium, aluminum, stainless steel, and copper that require an extra-large 47 in square forming table capacity.

Innovative Cold Former Minimizes Changeover Time
The seven-station COLDmatic CM 725 cold former from Hatebur produces up to 180 parts per minute with fast changeover times of only ten to 15 minutes on high precision parts from 8 mm to 125 mm long with a wire diameter up to 22 mm.

Additive Manufactured Parts Outperform 17-4 PH Stainless Steel
ITAMCO used an EOS M 290 3D printer to print nine cylinders made with new 17-4 PH IndustryLine metal powder from EOS that outperformed 17-4 PH stainless steel in tensile strength.

Semi-Automatic Dual Mitering Bandsaw Features Frequency Inverter and Hydraulic Vise
The JET 13 in EVS Semi-Automatic Dual Mitering Bandsaw from JPW Industries saves time and boosts shop productivity with a unique swiveling head that miters 45 deg right and 60 deg left for quick angle cuts without repositioning the workpiece.

How to Monitor Metal Sawing with Mobile Devices
Users can query, monitor the status, respond and manage their sawing machines at any time and from anywhere on the company premises with smartphones or tablets by using the KASTOapp from KASTO.

Reduce Waste with Easy to Use Straight-Handle Shears
Maneuverable, lightweight KL-200 Double-Cut Shears from Kett Tool easily follow a scribed line for cutting cold rolled steel, stainless steel, plastic and Formica without warping or bending the finished piece.

Automatic Name Tag Feeder/Marker Eliminates Jams
The automatic Tag Master 3 from Kwik Mark transfers tags from the top to eliminate the jamming, scratching, and other problems associated with bottom feed “coin changer” type escapements.

Hard to Find CO2 Laser Optics Legacy Parts Available from Stock
Lenses, mirrors, and output couplers for Coherent lasers from Laser Research Optics meet specifications, are optimized for 10.6 microns and are direct field replacements for most of their legacy lasers.

Mobile Dot Peen Marking of Flanges and Large Workpieces
Wrong markings can be avoided by using the preview function on the MARKATOR FlyMarker from Rocklin Manufacturing, which makes high quality marks at constant depths directly on big, unmovable workpieces with the push of a release button.

Personal Waterjet Cutter for the Small Shop
Ideal for prototyping and relatively low volume cutting of almost any material under 2 in thick by small job shops, engineering classrooms, makerspaces and personal use, the ProtoMAX abrasive waterjet from OMAX delivers 30,000 psi cutting power with its 5 hp pump.

All-Electric, Servo Powered Presses for Automated Cells
With the capability to load dies from the front or back of the machine, these presses from R&B Machining utilize robust machine actuators that balance precision positioning with speed and provide cost effective screw life.

Versatile, Customizable Crimping Machines
For hydraulic flexible hose connections, pipe connections, fittings, rod crimping, sockets and more, R1L-450ED/8 and R1F-4000ED/B crimping machines from Rolleri use crimp forces up to 440.9 tons and customizable options to tackle any job ranging from 7 mm to 190 mm.

Automated Quoting and Production of Short Run, Quick Response Work Orders
SecturaFAB software from SecturaSOFT automates the work order process, manages approvals better and helps assure that parts have the correct processes and their geometry is ready to be cut at the laser.

Waterjets for High Production of Versatile Applications
With front rollers that allow easy loading and unloading of materials, the precise and rigid design of TITAN waterjets from Semyx includes a rotary nut for parallel access enclosed in a strong aluminum gantry guided by precision flat guide ways.

Blast Wheel for Heavy Duty Foundry Jobs
The next-generation EZX blast wheel from Wheelabrator can be used for and retrofitted on tumblast, table, hanger-type, horizontal belt, plate, and wire mesh belt machines.

New Advances in Die Design Software
The 2018 version of SolidWorks-based Logopress3 die design software from Accurate Die Design Software can show the actual slugs underneath the punches that will be falling though the die openings.
