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:
Smart High Pressure Coolant System
The VR8 Variable Volume High Pressure Coolant System from MP Systems uses only the required horsepower to make set pressure, and automatically adjusts the gallons per minute output to maintain desired set pressure.
EDM, Milling, Turning Systems Increase Productivity, Reduce Downtime
Mitsubishi milling, turning, wire and sinker EDM machines from MC Machinery increase shop productivity and reduce downtime.
In-Process Grinding Gauge for Smooth Part Monitoring
The flat, compact P1dME gauge amplifier from Marposs mounts inside the operator panel of any grinding machine or as a stand-alone unit for continuous measurement that assures part production stays within tolerance and the machining cycle is optimized based on the amount of stock being removed.
Advanced Tooling and Workholding Increase Shop Productivity
Tsudakoma NC rotary tables, Alberti angle heads and lathe tools, and Elbo Controlli tool presetters from Koma Precision provide zero backlash, improve cycle times, conserve energy and reduce operating costs.
Place-and-Press Inspection Systems
Keyence features their XM-1200 Handheld Probe CMM, a 3D measurement system that bridges the gap between hand tools and CMMs. Also on display will be their IM-7000 Instant Measurement System and the VHX-6000 Digital Microscope.
High Pressure Pumps Double Waterjet Productivity, Reduce Abrasive Costs
Available with dual heads to double productivity, the 90,000 psi PRO-III 125 hp pump from KMT Waterjet runs a .016 orifice that can reduce cutting time in half.
Versatile Redesigned 5-Axis Gundrilling Machine for Complex Hole Patterns
Ideal for drilling complex hole patterns in heat exchangers, manifolds and molds, the rugged DeHoff 2072TC gundrilling machine from Kays Engineering can also perform secondary milling and tapping operations.
Universal Vise, Pallet Combination for Quick-Change Machining
On vertical and horizontal machining centers, the 125 mm vise and 96 mm Drop & Lock pallet from Jergens work together ideally for increased machining access and quick changeover of both top tooling and machinable parts for five-axis / multi-axis machining operations.
Custom and Special Live Tooling for the Toughest Cutting Applications
Heimatic designs and builds tools for all CNC lathes, regardless of application, brand or size, to handle the toughest application challenges involving exotic materials, depth of cut, extensions that are needed, rotary table and fixture positioning, or other machine tool arrangements.
Ceramic Milling Tools for Difficult-to-Machine Materials
The Excelerator Milling system and XSYTIN-1 phase-toughened ceramic insert grade from Greenleaf achieve high milling productivity and cost savings on difficult-to-machine materials to provide machine shops with a competitive advantage.
Incorrect Traceability Can Cost Millions
Ideal for harsh environments, Technifor All-in-One lasers from Gravotech offer complete marking accuracy and dependability when traceability matters.
Ultra-Precision, High Performance EDM Operations
The CUT E 350 wire EDM from GF Machining Solutions can reduce cutting times up to 18 percent, and their FORM 20 die-sinking EDM can accommodate automation for unmanned production and lights-out operations.
