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:
Superabrasive Wheels Grind Difficult Materials Substantially Faster
HPL Grinding Wheels from Meister Abrasives combine high-end CBN crystals fixed with durable, porous, intrinsically lubricated bonding matrix to allow substantially faster grinding of difficult materials.
Devil in the (Metal Cutting) Details
Metal Devil Diamond Edge Cut-off Wheels from M. K. Morse dissipate heat fast for long life and faster cutting of metal studs, structural steel, stainless tubing, rebar and cast iron, and more on high rpm angle grinders, circular saws, gas powered saws and abrasive chop saws.
Instant Access to Help with Tooling
With the free Ifind app from Sandvik Coromant, purchasers, engineers and machine operators can instantly access extensive information about the entire tooling process, from selection to sourcing, including tool information, recommendations, availability and prices.
Parallel Keepers Provide Unparalleled Grip for Workholding
Hardened steel Parallel Keepers from STA-PUT123 offer an unparalleled grip for holding small parts down to 1/8 in, as well as the largest part that will fit in a full open vice.
Flexible Microfinishing System for Cylindrical Bearing Journals on Crankshafts
The Worldstar 1680 CNC microfinishing system from IMPCO polishes the critical cylindrical bearing journals of a range of different size crankshafts to micron tolerances consistently and automatically, without the need to manually change and reposition the tooling, reducing changeover time from many hours to a few minutes.
Inserts for High Precision Hard Turning and Hardened Steel Machining
The BNC2010 Grade from Sumitomo is designed for high precision hard turning, using a CBN substrate coated with a TiCN layer to achieve excellent surface finish while reducing wear.
High Performance Cutting and Grinding Tools for Demanding Pipeline Welding Applications
The Tiger bonded abrasives line of tools from Weiler Abrasives includes Roughneck combo wheels for pipeline cutting and grinding, Tiger Zirc grinding wheels for aggressive grinding jobs, and thin Type 1 and Type 27 Tiger Inox cutting wheels for accurate, clean cuts with a contaminant-free bond for worry-free stainless steel applications.
The Need for Fine Hole Finishes and High Productivity Rates
The Top Ream carbide reaming system from WIDIA uses a single carbide disc and brazed joint for a strong connection that is inherently more stable, resistant to vibration and virtually immune to thermal effects during machining operations.
Crowning Deflection Control System for Press Brakes
The Express Crowning system from Wilson Tool helps control deflection or “the canoe effect” in press brake applications over 4 ft long with quick, repeatable crowning that is precisely adjusted by a basic hand crank and digital readout or an electric motor driven by the CNC machine control.
Combination Cutting/Grinding Wheels for Heavy Duty Fabrication
Norton Quantum3 Combination Wheels from Saint-Gobain Abrasives provide 50 percent longer life that significantly reduces the need for wheel changes, resulting in decreased production downtime, less operator fatigue and lower labor cost.
One Blade Effectively Saws Structurals, Bundles, Tubes and Small Solids
Versatix MP bi-metal band saw blades from Starrett feature triple-tempered, high speed M-42 cobalt steel teeth with an alloy steel backing strip and use a patented tooth design that dissipates stress during cutting for less tooth breakage and longer blade life.
Changing the Approach to Robotic Automation
The TaskMate system from READY Robotics is a fully integrated turnkey system for flexible and dynamic interactive machine tending that incorporates the UR robots from Universal Robots.
