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:
High Laser Power for Robust Part Marking of Aerospace Components
For long-term legibility, reliable part traceability and protection against product forgery throughout the entire product life cycle of aerospace components, the 100 watt FOBA Y.1000 fiber laser from Alltec makes fast, precise and robust engraved marks.
High Productivity Horizontal and Vertical Machining of Aerospace Parts
NHP 4000 and 5000 horizontal machining centers and the compact DNM 4000 vertical machining center from Doosan take more aggressive cuts and are ideal for processing complex parts made of tough-to-machine materials used in aerospace applications.
Vertical Cylindrical Grinder with Pallet Changer for Aerospace Applications
The Taiyo Koki CVG Series Vertical Universal Cylindrical Grinding machine with pallet changer from DMG MORI grinds OD, ID and faces all in one part chucking with guaranteed machine roundness accuracy of less than .00004 in.
Advancing Additive in Aviation
By integrating VERICUT software from CGTech with metal printing technology on a CNC machine tool, 3D-Hybrid Solutions can apply powdered metal or wire feedstock at rates up to 20 lb per hour, then machine the part to precise dimensions on the same machine with no need for secondary fixtures.
Advanced Aerospace Tool Grinding
Perfect for grinding PCD tools used in machining composite materials for aerospace applications, the EDGe-Spark Erosion Power Generator from ANCA achieves an eroded finish with a surface roughness less than 0.2 µm Ra.
Fully Automated Sawing of Complex Angles on Structural Material
The fully automatic AV-2026NC bandsaw from Cosen Saws cuts complex angles on structural material either on the front end, the back end or both. It is capable of making a bull nose angle cut, which manufacturers often use to make bracing parts, as well as making opposing angles, parallelograms, polygons, and straight cuts.
Moving Head CNC EDM Drilling Machines for Aerospace Parts
Easy automatic drilling of holes of different depths, smooth motion and stability, and long unattended operations make the Yougar YGS CNC Moving Head EDM from Absolute Machine Tools superior to fixed-head, moving-table style EDM drills.
Advanced Precision Machining of Complex Aerospace Components
The 5-axis Liechti go-Mill 350, Mikron MILL P 800 U ST and FORM 200 die-sinking EDM from GF Machining Solutions generate flawless surface finishes on complex part shapes found in turbines and cell components for avionics.
How to Cut Finishing Times of Aircraft Blisks From Several Days to a Few Hours
By mounting single workpieces to the inner dome of the processing bowl, the redesigned CM vibratory system from Walther Trowal allows deburring and general surface improvement of components with diameters up to 980 mm.
Oscillating Laser Beam Opens Up Applications for Aerospace Parts
The welDYNA scan head from SCANLAB opens up countless new possibilities in aerospace processing where thick metal parts and fiber-reinforced plastics must be cut more quickly and cleanly.
Metric-Sized Metal Shapes and Parts for Aerospace Applications
Metric metals from Parker Steel include 17-PH round bar stainless steel and 360 brass round and hex bars for high strength, superior corrosion resistance and easy machining that is suitable for bushings, circuit board relays, switches, nuts, bolts, pump shafts, fixtures and other parts used on aircraft.
Gas Technologies and Powder Storage Advance the Quality of 3D Printed Aerospace Metal Parts
Ideal for powder-bed laser fusion processes, the portable ADDvance O2 precision atmosphere monitoring system and powder cabinet from Linde precisely controls O2, temperature and humidity levels in the powder process chamber and storage atmosphere.
