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:
Smooth Cutting of Hard Jobs
Take a closer look at how these new cutting tools can help shops take the edge off their competition for tougher, higher margin jobs by increasing their productivity and reducing their operating costs when machining difficult materials.
TIG And Spot Weld Cleaning Systems for Perfect Finish Marking on Stainless, Aluminum and Titanium
Next generation Surfox 205 and Mini Surfox TIG and spot weld cleaning systems from Walter Surface Technologies replace time-consuming mechanical abrasion and other manual operations, and hazardous solutions such as pickling paste.
Thick Turret Tooling for AITS Machines
Laser-marked with a data matrix code on each compatible tool, the iSeries line of thick turret tooling from Wilson Tool is fully compatible with the Amada ID Tooling System to bring sheet metal fabricators even more thick turret tooling choices for their AITS machines.
How to Optimize Grinding Time and Cut Rates on the Toughest Materials
Ideal for heavy stock removal, edge chamfering, weld blending, grinding, and surface preparation and finishing, Tiger Ceramic, Zirc and Aluminum, and Wolverine Zirc and Aluminum Oxide resin fiber discs from Weiler Abrasives provide aggressive cut rates and smooth finishes on tool steel, aluminum and any material in between.
A Significant Step Towards Complete Automation
With improved nesting, NC functions, user interface and help files, SigmaNEST X1.3 CAD/CAM software from SigmaTEK improves shop efficiencies in a significant step towards complete automation.
High Performance All-Electric Tube and Pipe Bending Machines
Ideal for automotive suppliers, the all-electric CNC 100 E TB MR tube bending machine from Schwarze-Robitec manufactures pipe systems up to 35 percent faster and more efficiently than ever with its Quick Tool Unlock rapid clamping system that reduces downtime and increases productivity with fast, easy changes of tooling.
Adding Safety to Common Automated Processes
The four-sided Defender Cell from Rite-Hite Machine Guarding restricts access and provides point-of-operation guarding around potentially dangerous automated and automatic processes, including stretch-wrap machine operations.
Abrasives, Brushes and Power Tools for Metal Finishing
Files, burs, brushes, grinding and cutting wheels and power tools from PFERD can increase shop productivity, reduce labor and resource costs, improve operator health and safety, and help improve overall process optimization.
High Speed Intelligent Laser Cutting Reduces Operator Dependency
By integrating Intelligent Setup and Monitoring Functions, the high speed, high accuracy OPTIPLEX 3015 Fiber III from Mazak Optonics simplifies operations to reduce operator dependency.
Advanced Filler Metals for Aluminum MIG Welding, Stainless Steel and Gas-Shielded Flux-Cored Welding
Advanced filler metals from Hobart Brothers are ideal for aluminum MIG welding, stainless steel, gas-shielded flux-cored welding and more.
Press Feed Equipment Minimizes Material Scrap
The Zig-Zag servo feed from Dallas Industries has a one, two or three-out capacity with the servo feed index cycle made simultaneously with the cross-slide lateral travel, producing a diagonal stock movement in the automatic mode that minimizes the scrap generated when stamping out circles. The manual mode has forward or reverse indexing and cross-travel indexing.
Remote Control of Engine-Driven Welder/Generators Without a Control Cord
Miller Electric has expanded their ArcReach remote control technology to Trailblazer 325 power sources and Big Blue 600 Air Pak, 800 Duo Pro and 800 Duo Air Pak models for complete control of welding parameters at the weld joint without a control cord.
