How to Eliminate Difficult Tube Bender Programming
By storing bend information and producing the desired bend in seconds, the new Ercolina Super Bender Plus rotary draw tube and pipe bender from CML USA eliminates the intense labor and difficult programming associated with many entry-level benders.
Connecting Multi-Purpose Machine Tools with Robotic Loading Centers
To effectively process large parts, Selway Machine Tool connects a compact Eurotech Spinner TTC300 dual spindle/dual turret multi-process turning center to a Trinity TCL-10 loading center with a Fanuc M10iA robot, and a compact Matsuura MX-330 5-axis vertical machining center to a Trinity MCL-35f loading center with a with a Fanuc M20iA-35M robot.
CNC Measurement of Large-Scale, Heavy, Cylindrical Parts
The custom-built RA-6000CNC roundness/cylindricity measuring system from Mitutoyo provides best-in-class accuracy for measuring large parts generally associated with automotive, energy, marine and aviation applications.
Long Tapes with Blade Cleaning System for Large-Scale Measurements
The 100 ft and 300 ft Open Reel and Closed Reel Long Tapes from Milwaukee Tool each use a Grime Guard blade cleaning system with a wiper that keeps dirt, mud, and other jobsite contaminants out of the housing and internal components of the long tape as its reeled in for much longer tool life.
Affordable Wireless Laser Tracker for Large-Scale Measurement
Ideal for shipyards, construction sites and other large industrial applications, the portable OT2 Core wireless laser tracker from Automated Precision weighs only 10.9 kg, making it ideal for many measuring applications with its 50 m operating range.
Smart Technologies Impact Dimensional Inspection Operations
Ideal for the higher productivity demanded by automotive, aerospace, general mechanics and precision mechanics industries, the GLOBAL S CMM platform from Hexagon utilizes smart technologies and PC-DMIS software for collection, evaluation, management and presentation of manufacturing data.
Clear the Air
Here are some of the latest advances in indoor air quality that can promote employee safety and comfort, increase shop productivity, and reduce operating expenses.
Taking Shape: Bending & Forming
Here are some of the latest advances in press brakes that can help shops increase their metal bending and forming productivity, improve quality and safety, and reduce their operating costs.
Ambient Dust Collection Gets Easier
The ductless, ceiling-mounted Vista360 dust collector from RoboVent is an ambient system that uses multiple collectors to create circular air patterns in the facility that continually pull contaminated air into the filtration unit and push clean, filtered air back into the shop.
Why Shops are Demanding Fast but Mobile Bending Systems
The Xpert 40, 80 and 150 press brakes from Bystronic are ideal for shops that need a small and versatile powerhouse for bending small to medium-sized parts up to a bending length of approximately 5 ft and a maximum thickness of ¾ in.
Taking Shape: Structural Fabrication
Here are some of the latest advances in welding and plasma cutting equipment, fixturing, materials and PPE that can help welding operators increase their productivity, improve quality and safety, and reduce their operating costs in the fabrication of large, heavy, robust parts.
Automated Climate Control System for Large Diameter Fans
The AirEffect climate control system from MacroAir measures temperature and humidity at two points, calculates the heat index and identifies the best operating speed and direction for each fan.
