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:
Live and Static Tools for Swiss-Type CNC Automatic Lathes
The Citizen tool program of live and static tools for Swiss-type CNC automatic lathes from Heimatec is made especially for longitudinal turning lathes and optimized to the required machine parameters so that shops can now use the tools for maximum efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Coolant-Thru Micro Toolholders
With increased use of micro tooling that operates at higher speeds in more compact tooling zones, Ti-Loc micro end mill holders and other coolant-thru capable micro toolholders from GenSwiss help solve the need for more efficient machining operations while extending tool life.
Entry-Level Presetting System
The Speroni Essentia tool presetting and measuring system from BIG KAISER allows users to efficiently measure tools offline and perform high quality measurements right next to the machine tool using a concise and easy-to-use control that optimizes all tool presetting and measuring operations.
Punch Tap Technology for Faster Threading
The Punch Tap from Emuge produces threads extremely fast in a single synchronous, helical movement of feed and rotation, creating a shortened tool path that produces internal threads in under half a second, using significantly less energy during machining.
Shaper Up for Socket Machining
The Shaper Duo system from NTK Cutting Tools cuts into the material with up sharp corners, creating less tool pressure than rotary broaching for hexagon sockets up to 12 mm, square up to 8 mm sockets, and 6-lobe socket machining for T6 up to T30.
One Cutter, Many Choices: Versatility in Indexable Milling
With 54 options in a single cutter, the ISOD05 cutter from Dormer Pramet expands indexable milling with an adaptable option to support a wide range of insert shapes and operations from roughing to finishing.
Premium Tool Presetting and Measuring Technology
The Venturion presetting and measuring machine from ZOLLER provides changeover accuracy of just 1 micron, ensuring consistent measurement results regardless of who is operating it.
MQL System Delivers Process Control and Performance
The Quantum minimum quantity lubrication system from Unist interfaces directly to machines to give shops reliable digital control of cutting lubrication down to a fraction of a drop to fine-tune machining processes, accurately measure and control usage, and share settings between multiple machines.
Personal Air Conditioning Vests Help Welders Stay Cool and Productive
Personal Air Conditioning Vests from Vortec circulate cool air to minimize temperature-related stress and fatigue, thus improving comfort and productivity.
IMTS 2018 Showtime: Integrated Automation, Motion & Drives
The complete spectrum of industrial automation, IT, power transmission and fluid power technology for shops needing cross-sector and cross-platform systems and digital integration to meet ever-changing market demands.
Next Generation CNC and Integrated Factory Automation
The MELSEC iQ-R automation platform on the new C80 Series CNC from Mitsubishi Electric Automation
increases productivity, lowers cycle times and integrates with their IoT systems, FR series robots, 5-axis machining, fully automated manufacturing cell and more.
Industry 4.0 Tooling Technology Couples with Advanced Cutting Tools
Power Clamp i4.0 series shrink fit machines from Haimer are network compatible and Industry 4.0-ready for communication of tools and machines on the shop floor, with tool scanning capabilities to read and automatically set the shrinking parameters via Data Matrix codes.
