Filter by Process Zone:
Innovative Vee/Crown Wheel Plate for Contaminated Environments
Ideal for low rolling friction and high speed capacity in aerospace, automotive and other commercial applications, the flexible UtiliTrak Vee/Crown wheel plate from Bishop-Wisecarver is compatible with both vee and open track channels to simplify user selection, ordering, field maintenance and upgrades.
Intelligent Grinding, Milling and Polishing System for Tool and Mold Making
For ultrafine grinding, the SUNmic 60 micro motor system from Suhner is a multi-purpose tool with a touch panel that can accept a range of micro motors and tool hand pieces depending on the application.
New Cut-Off Wheels for Faster Cutting, Improved Operator Comfort, Reduced Cost
Norton QUANTUM3 RightCut Wheels from Saint-Gobain Abrasives boast a more rounded grain for faster cutting action with less vibration that is instrumental in reducing operator fatigue when cutting metal all day.
Ultra-Fast Robots Optimize Spot Welding Productivity
SP-series six-axis robots from Yaskawa America offer ultra-fast axis speeds and improved acceleration/deceleration control to reduce air-cut time and increase production output, with a slim profile to reach into confined spaces for operations in high-density layouts.
Surface Conditioning Tools that Improve Fabrication Quality and Productivity
Cutting, grinding and combo wheels, along with robust resin fiber discs, best-in-class flap discs and other products from Weiler Abrasives provide exceptional performance and improve productivity in metal fabrication.
High Performance Flap Discs for Aluminum Blending and Finishing
The Enduro-Flex ALU flap disc from Walter Surface Technologies is specially formulated with a superior iron-free, sulfur-free and chlorine-free zirconia alumina grain blend that optimizes blending and finishing performance on virtually any aluminum surface.
Cobot-Assisted Cutting of Shapes Into 3D Structural Steel Components
The SnapCut integrated cutting system from Universal Robots and ARC Specialties uses a UR10 collaborative robot to manipulate a Hypertherm torch for cutting squares, rectangles, circles, C-channels and more through parametric programming.
Resistance Welding Technology Takes Center Stage
The heavy duty Heron 20 kJ Capacitor Discharge projection welding machine from T. J. Snow provides high welding current output and fast rise time to process large ring projection welding applications with ease.
New Welding Systems Reduce Defects, Improve Productivity, Save Money
Advanced power sources and welding technology from Miller Electric maximizes runtimes and fuel efficiency and reduces expenses in fabrication and construction work.
Automation Tools, Partnership for Tube & Pipe Fabrication
The innovative and compact UPC 450 Ship Profiler from HGG increases cutting and pre-fabrication productivity by eliminating the need to cut ship stiffeners and spools by hand.
Lightweight, Low Noise Compact Feeder and Resistance Welding Lab Capabilities
The Compact Feeder from Dengensha is a magnet-type rotary nut feeder that operates with 16 db less noise than other vibrator-style feeders, has a smaller footprint than an A3 size of paper, and is about 50 percent lighter than comparable feeders and 50 percent smaller than vibrator styles.
Versatile Forklifts Make Load Handling in Fabrication Shops Easy and Safe
Combilift provides customized equipment with lift capacities from 1,850 lb up to 200,000 lb for safe, space-saving and productive handling and storage of typical loads managed in fabrication shops.
