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:
Rotary Transfer Tube Machining
Special purpose rotary and linear transfer machines from Suhner can optimize a process with standard or custom systems for each machining application to help shorten overall part cycle times.
Nesting Software Increases Productivity of Flat Sheet and Tube Cutting
SigmaNEST X1.4 CAD/CAM nesting software from SigmaTEK optimizes part nesting with faster speed and processing; integrates with ERP; supports SolidWorks 2018 and special geometry-based clamps.
Air Scraper Efficiently Scrapes Away and Removes Stubborn Debris
The Soft Grip Super Air Scraper from EXAIR is perfect for removing caulk, sealant, adhesives, tape, paint, stickers, labels, grease, lubricant and difficult to sweep metal chips, flakes or discs.
All-Electric Tube End Forming Eliminates Hydraulic Oil, Reduces Operating Costs
The ECOForm eRB80 IO+IO from R&B Machining performs precision sizing, diameter expansions or reductions, ram forming, flaring, notching and shearing of tube diameters up to 3.1 in with standard tooling and up to 3.9 in with heavy duty tooling with maximum wall thickness of 0.079 in.
Economic Precision Cutting of Large Metal Sheets and Plates
The Bystar L 4025 laser cutting machine from Bystronic uses a 6 kW resonator to easily and economically cut large format sheets up to 8 ft wide, 39 ft long and one inch thick with exceptional precision.
A New Generation of 3D Laser Tube Cutting
Using loading and unloading systems that automatically adapt to accommodate short and long parts and a 3 kW fiber laser that cuts up to 6 in round, square, rectangular, special and open profiles, the LT7 Lasertube system from BLM Group reconfigures itself for the next order at the end of each production batch.
Portable Pipe Beveling Tools with ID or OD Clamping
The self-centering Tube Weasel right angle ID clamping tool and the C-Hog OD clamping tool from ESCO use pneumatic, electric or battery power for rigid mounting and torque-free operation of TiN-coated cutter blades with radical chip breakers that transfer heat away from the surface.
Innovative Vertical Lathe for Machining Large, Odd-Shaped Parts for Construction Jobs
To accommodate large, odd-shaped parts used in construction work and aerospace applications, the two-axis V920EX one-saddle CNC vertical lathe from Okuma features a powerful turning spindle and a larger work envelope with a maximum turning diameter of Ø36.22 in and 33.86 in of swing over the saddle.
Robotic Turning and Milling/Drilling Cell for Construction Equipment
Fuji Machine combines their ANW-3500 fully automated twin spindle lathe with their fully automated HM-3400 milling machine, each with built-in robots, to create a turning and milling/drilling cell designed for heavy workloads.
Portable Cutting System for Steel Erection and Bridge Construction
The upgraded Arcair SLICE exothermic cutting system from ESAB has a more ergonomic torch grip and oxygen flow lever, with a better connection between the grip and the rubber shield that protects the operator’s hand from molten spray when piercing.
Transform Heavy Grinding Operations
ErgoFlex abrasive discs from Walter Surface Technologies are a safer, more ergonomic, equally powerful alternative to traditional wheels used for grinding welded steel and stainless steel, heavy grinding, weld removal, and beveling.
High Production, Precision Plasma Cutting of Construction Parts
Configured with a Hypertherm EDGE Connect CNC and high definition plasma system, and an oxy-fuel cutting torch, the KANO HD CNC plasma cutting machine from Park Industries is built on a unitized, precision machined, heavy duty steel base with cutting table styles and sizes available in 6 ft, 8 ft and 10 ft widths and 12 ft or 24 ft lengths.
