Filter by Process Zone:
Vertical Lift Reduces Picking Error Margin to Zero
The flexible OnePick integrated system from Modula offers fully automated, accurate and secure picking and replenishing of products.
Next Generation of Tape Measures
New Magnetic Tape Measures from Milwaukee Tool have an improved finger stop mechanism that protects the user’s fingers during retraction while maximizing stability during layout applications.
Real Time Non-Contact Measurement of Round Pipe And Profiles
The Profile360 G4 in-line, real time, non-contact measurement system from Starrett is ideal for continuously monitoring OD, OOR, and circumference for round pipe and profiles in diameters up to 1,600 mm.
Orbital Wrapping Machines Wrap Pipes in Unlimited Lengths Fed by Conveyor
Ideal for protecting pipes and other long products during transport, the Wrapper Tornado line from TAB Industries wraps plastic stretch film 360 deg around and under an entire load in one minute or less, including the pallet if desired.
Turbo Powered Tools Grind, Mill and Polish the Deepest Recesses of Narrow Pipes
The LRC 20 hand tool from Suhner grinds, mills and polishs the leading edges and corners of impellers or the insides of narrow pipes that previously could be accessed only with great difficulty.
Software for Tube Inspection
The scalable TubeShaper software system from Hexagon can interface directly with one or more CNC tube benders to calculate and apply correctional data within the production cycle to streamline operations and almost completely eliminate scrap.
Next Generation Technology for Drilling Pipe
For pipe drilling and hole cutting, the MagDrill Disrupter 30 from Magswitch/Euroboor uses a uniquely flexible drill base for a superior grip on flat and round pipe outer and pipe inner surfaces a little over two inches in diameter,
Advanced Tube Bending Technologies
The fully automatic DB 622-CNC ‘t bend’ mandrel bending machine from Transfluid performs exact bending of 22 x 2.0 mm round steel tubes, 22 x 1.5 mm stainless steel tubes, and 16 x 1.5 mm square tubes.
Innovative Pipe Machining Tools
The Terminator MILLHOG Pipe Beveling Tool from ESCO Tool rigidly clamps to the ID and uses a tracker to compensate for variations in wall thickness and a precision feed control to advance into the pipe.
Large Diameter Tube Bending Gel
Ideal for tube bending of 304, 409 and 439 stainless steels up to 8 in diameter, GEL 986-00D from IRMCO contains no mineral oil, no pigments or clays, no PTFE, and no chlorine, zinc, boron, phosphorous or sulfur-based EP or AW additives.
Small Diameter Tube and Pipe Interior Deburring
POLISTAR flexible abrasive stars from PFERD can be stacked in several layers and aligned at an offset from one another so that the abrasive has optimal effect. Setup times are significantly reduced since pads can be changed without removing the arbor from the collet.
Automated Band Sawing of Tubes
The easy operating, fully automatic KASTOwin tube A 5.0 bandsaw from KASTO uses intelligent SmartControl that stores and handles all material data to automatically set all necessary parameters for each job.
