HS Metalworks Expands Into Shelving & Filtration Screen Markets
Responding to customer demand, the full-service steel components and assemblies manufacturer has invested in grid-welding equipment to serve material handling, security screen and equipment safety barrier industries.
Vibratory Bowl Features Easy Media Discharge Chute
Burr King’s VibraKing 200c 20-quart bowl includes a patent-pending chute plug with double seals that guard against leaks during operation. Use for deburring and more in both wet and dry processing.
Deburring for Applications with Tight Tolerances and Heat Sensitivity
Unlike conventional grinding, wire EDM, and lasers, Tridex Technology’s SG-1645 and SG-2060 electrochemical grinders quickly provide a burr-free cut in one pass with no heat-affected zone, recast layer, or work hardening of the material. Arthroscopic shaver teeth are commonly produced by conventional abrasive grinding, wire EDM, or laser cutting, but each method has disadvantages.
Compact Deburring and Edge-Rounding Machine
With its 9-inch-wide footprint, Midwest Automation’s Mighty 9 finishing machine fits virtually anywhere on a shop floor. Fixed belt (FB), adjustable belt (AB), and top brush (TB) abrasive head assemblies provide flexibility by allowing multiple combinations.
Updated Machine Allows Lights-Out Deburring and Chamfering
Helios Gear Products adds CNC capability to Tecnomacchine (TM) deburring and chamfering machines to improve repeatability, programmability, and ease of use. The TM 1000-CNC’s 8 axes and two spindles handle parts up to 40 inches (1 meter) in diameter.
Part Deburring, Cleaning, and Drying On A 15-Second Cycle
Combining high-pressure water jet deburring with low-pressure part cleaning and drying processes, the EcoCvelox from Ecoclean Inc. is a one-stop finishing solution. Highly configurable equipment enables highly flexible process design.
Deburr, Polish, Clean, and Dry Parts in 5 Seconds
By rotating media instead of parts, Bel Air Finishing’s AutoHone robotic deburring machine eliminates scrapes and chips that occur when parts collide with each other in tumblers and centrifugal disk finishers. Parts are secured for deburring and polishing in an automated process.
Totally Tubular: Take Profile Design to the Next Level
One of the fastest-growing sectors of North American metal manufacturing is laser processing of tubes and profiles. Design software and machines that automatically perform multiple manufacturing steps are making this complicated fabrication process cost-effective for smaller companies.
Think of Weld Traceability As Your Company’s Unofficial Insurance Policy
Robotic welding cells with arc-monitoring and -reporting capability provide peace of mind in two ways. They ensure consistent production and automatically collect and store data a fabrication company can easily share with customers that impose traceability requirements.
Best Practices For Avoiding a Burr in the Saddle
Deburring ensures parts fit perfectly during welding or final assembly. This leads to higher-quality products and more efficient workflows that will save your shop time and money – and improve its bottom line.
Don’t Get Depressed: There Is A Solution For Your Application
Pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric presses are available in a wide range of models that offer an ever wider range of force, position accuracy, and speed capabilities. Bimba technical experts outline the pros and cons of each press type to make your decision easier.
