Filter by Process Zone:
Cut-to-Length Lines
CTL lines from COE Press Equipment can process coil from 18 in to 72 in wide, .020 in to .375 in material thickness, and 6,000 lb to 60,000 lb coil weights in cold rolled steel, hot rolled steel, galvanized, stainless, and aluminum.
Robotic 3D Cutting Combined with Welding
Flexible systems from Wolf Robotics switch between arc welding, plasma cutting, oxyfuel bevel cutting, pre-heating, etc. using precision tool changers to automate complex parts that once required multiple robots or systems.
Boiler Tube Membrane and Overlay Removal
The Membrane and Overlay Removal Head from ESCO Tool uses proprietary long-life inserts shaped like golf tees, rather than screws, to remove boiler tube membrane and overlay plus bevel all at the same time, with minimum vibration and reduced heat.
Automatic Punching of Flat Bar, Angle and Channel
The Sunrise ANC Punching System from Trilogy Machinery uses a fully automatic single-axis CNC in-feed system to combine an ironworker or punching machine with capacity up to 220 tons to punch flat bar, angle and channel web lengths up to a 20 ft.
All-in-One Hole Sheet Metal Hole Cutting Packages
RotaCut Sheet Metal Hole Cutter Master Kits from Hougen Manufacturing have 16 different sizes of cutters for drilling holes in materials up to ¼ in thick for metal fabrication, maintenance and electrical applications, spot weld removal, plug holes for welding, and production environments.
