Filter by Process Zone:
Pneumatically Actuated Part Marking Systems
The portable high-speed P50 controlled vibropeen / micropercussion system from Dapra makes it easy to mark large, heavy parts that cannot be brought to a fixed station.
Versatile, Economic, Automatic Horizontal Bandsaw
The HBE Dynamic Series Horizontal Bandsaw from Behringer uses a servo-driven precision downfeed control to automatically adjust blade pressure, creating an optimal balance of feed rate and pressure for improved quality and cutting rates while extending blade life.
Next Generation Wire EDM Increases Versatility, Lowers Operating Cost
U3 and U6 wire EDM machines from Single Source Technologies | Makino use HyperCut technology and Hyper-i control so that even novice operators can program and produce leading-edge part finishes in the most complex feature geometries – a significant competitive advantage for shops experiencing difficulty replacing skilled EDM operators.
Advanced Monitoring of Machining and Tooling Operations
Excellent for unattended operation, advanced systems from Caron Engineering monitor tool wear and breakage with immediate machine stop and retract if a tool breaks to minimize damage, and adaptive controls to monitor true power and automatically adjust the feed rate.
Streamline the NC Validation Workflow
VERICUT 8.0 machine simulation, verification and optimization software from CGTech ties complex processes together by monitoring and evaluating many potential problems in an efficient and consolidated method that reduces the time spent in the programming and machining cycle.
Advanced Toolholders and Workholding
New extended reach and hydraulic toolholders, CNC accessories and magnetic workholding systems from Techniks can reduce setup time and change-over time by 50 percent and handle load capacities up to 6,600 lb.
CNC Vise with Precision Quick Change Jaw Set
The new CARVESMART precision quick-change jaw set from Carr Lane Roemheld includes a precision NC vise with clamping force gauge, a precision adjustable workpiece stop, a CARVESMART steel master jaw set, a blank aluminum jaw set, and mounting claws for production and toolroom vises that are accurately changed in seconds.
Single, Dual, Adjustable Angle Heads for any Machining Application
Angle heads from Heimatec are ideal for milling, drilling and tapping, especially when tight and compound angles or deep recesses are involved that present significant torque challenges to the busy shop.
Advanced Machining and Measurement Systems
P.D. Browne provides advanced machine tools from Murata Machinery, You Ji, Johnford and Sodick, and innovative CMMs from Aberlink.
Affordable Wireless Shop Floor Tech
The WiFi USB Connect from Shop Floor Automations emulates a USB stick by allowing the machinist at his machine tool to share wireless network files, email, FTP, SMB, and cloud services with other PCs.
Large Diameter Flex-Hone Plays Critical Role in Oil and Gas Industry
Ideal for automotive, hydraulic, pneumatic and industrial applications up to 36 in, large diameter Flex-Hone tools from Brush Research Manufacturing can be run with virtually any rotating spindle, are self-centering, self-aligning to the bore and self-compensating for wear.
Let It Flow: Tube & Pipe Welding
As business picks up for tube and pipe fabricators, they must reduce their setup times and become more versatile in the flow of work they are able to handle, all while increasing their productivity to remain competitive. Here is some of the latest tube and pipe fabrication and welding equipment that can help these shops smooth out jobs so that their work goes with the flow.
