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:
CBN Abrasive and Small Diameter Abrasive Nylon Disc Brushes
For difficult-to-finish materials such as Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, Hasteloy, Invar, Rene and high nickel alloy steels, small 50 mm, 60 mm and 80 mm diameter Nampower abrasive nylon disc brushes and CBN abrasive from Brush Research Manufacturing offer greater versatility into harder to reach areas, smaller applications and planetary head mountings.
An Alternative to Traditional Welding Helmets
The Weld-Mask 2 from Miller Electric allows access to tight spaces, protects the eyes and head, and provides the ability to wear a hard hat, reusable respirator and safety glasses for total protection and compliance.
Stainless Steel Air Jets Resist Corrosion & Heat
For reliable and efficient blowoff and cleaning in corrosive, high temperature or washdown environments up to 400 deg F, 303SS Air Jets from Exair replace open tubes and pipe nipples on parts cleaning, drying and cooling operations to produce up to 1.25 lb of force upon the target.
Up to the Task
Take a closer look at some of the newest systems that can increase NDT and inspection throughput and reduce operating costs for measuring complex parts, detecting the smallest cracks or other defects, and meeting the demanding standards of NADCAP, Boeing or Airbus.
Efficiently Manage Large 3D Point Clouds From 3D Scanners When Reverse Engineering
Tube measure and quick settings tooling dialog are two features new to the reverse engineering application for SolidWorks from HighRES, which includes a standalone Integrated Point Cloud module that doesn’t require a SolidWorks license to visualize points, hard probe or laser scan.
High-End NDT and Inspection of Composites, Tube Welds and More in Aerospace Work
For nondestructive testing of aerospace components, including high-critical turbine parts and more, the roof-mounted 7-axis XRHGantry X-ray system from VisiConsult uses digital technology to detect the smallest cracks or other defects inside each component for repair.
Affordable Eddy Current Instrument with Surface Array Capabilities for Aerospace Inspection
With an ergonomic design, long battery life and intuitive touchscreen to inspect more areas faster than ever without fatigue, Zetec’s MIZ-21C handheld eddy current instrument has surface array capabilities for fast, accurate inspections in demanding NDT applications in aerospace.
Quickly Measure or Reverse Engineer Aerospace Sheet Metal Parts
High speed InspecVision integrated 2D and 3D measurement systems from MC Machinery Systems can quickly measure or reverse engineer flat parts cut by lasers, plasma and waterjets, punched and some stamped parts, as well as hole size and position.
Redefining the Rules of Aerospace Machine Part Measurement
For high precision 5-axis machining centers and milling machines used in aerospace, aeronautics, die and mold, and biomedical applications, WRP60P and WRP45P high accuracy touch probes with multichannel radio transmission from Marposs use automatic detection of machine axes position to achieve part positioning, work piece orientation, origin identification, and accurate part measurement.
Integrated Dimensional Inspection of Aeroengine Components
HTA Measurement systems from Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence use patented HP-O optical interferometric sensor technology for fast, accurate, non-contact scanning and dramatic time reductions when measuring complex parts such as blisks, gears, camshafts, splines, synchro rings and clutch baskets.
Sneak Preview: IMTS 2018
The 2018 edition of the International Manufacturing Technology Show is on track to be one of the largest IMTS events ever at McCormick Place in Chicago from September 10-15. This special sneak peek provides technical reviews of some of the machinery, tooling, systems and accessories that will be exhibited to help you get a head start on navigating the show floor and managing your time while you’re there.
Diverse Workholding Systems for Lights-Out Manufacturing
For gear surface face grinding, the powered external KZF-S collet chuck from Röhm is especially well suited for clamping gears/workpieces that have an external plane or gear teeth geometries accessible from the outside.
