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:
TURN/MILL COMPLEX PARTS, PERFORM MULTIPLE OPERATIONS IN A SINGLE SETUP
The Y-Axis ST-20SSY high-speed turning center from Haas Automation increases throughput, reduces handling and improves accuracy with Y axis, C axis, and live-tooling to provide a powerful 4-axis solution for secondary machining of turned parts.
MULTI-TASKING MACHINE REDUCES TOOL HANDLING INCREASES TOOL CAPACITY
The Multus B750 large multi-tasking machine from Okuma uses an optional tool matrix that holds from 81 tools to 285 tools depending upon requirements and configurations, providing expandability in reduced floor space.
CIRCULAR SAW BLADES CUT THROUGH TOUGH STEEL APPLICATIONS
New Xtreme Technology (NXT) blades from M. K. Morse have fully optimized the rake angles and tooth geometries on each diameter of blade for smooth, fast cuts with less vibration and longer blade life.
HMC FOR FERROUS, NON-FERROUS PART PRODUCTION
Makino a51nx and a61nx horizontal machining centers offer a larger work envelope and next-generation productivity, accuracy and reliability beyond that of typical 40-taper machines.
BORING MILLS PERFORM PRECISION MACHINING OF LARGE COMPONENTS
FEELER FMB-Series moving column horizontal boring mills from Methods Machine Tools use 4th-axis machining for manufacturers of large components where precision is critical.
HIGH SPEED AND POWER PACKED INTO A SMALL FOOTPRINT
MB-5000H and MB-8000H horizontal machining centers from Okuma use the Thermo-Friendly Concept that enables each machine tool to predict and counter thermal deformation for improved accuracy.
ROUTINELY ACHIEVE 4µ MACHINING PRECISION AND ACCURACY
SPC 7120 and 7140 SIP 4/5-axis horizontal machining centers from StarragHeckert are ideal for aerospace machining of exotic materials with hard-to-machine characteristics, such as titanium and Inconel.
AUTOMATIC COMPLETE MACHINING OF PRISMATIC AND CASE-STYLE PARTS
HEC 500/630/800 Athletic series medium-sized horizontal machining centers from StarragHeckert use an NC-controlled rotating and tilting unit that also reduces setup times, eliminates additional adjustment work, makes door-to-door times faster and lowers costs per unit with increased machining accuracy – all at the same time.
5-AXIS PRODUCTIVITY ON AEROSPACE AND ENERGY PARTS
The modular HMC 1250/1600 from MAG uses a high-torque spindle especially suited for aerospace titanium cutting, while live spindles extend W-axis reach up to 800 mm (31.5 in) for deep-cavity milling to high precision with shorter, more rigid tool lengths.
MODULAR HMC TRANSFORMS TO SUIT ANY PART, MATERIAL OR MACHINING STRATEGY
The green design of the modular SPECHT 500/630 horizontal machining center from MAG eliminates warm-up time, sleeps when idle, minimizes coolant and air-extraction, cuts dry, wet or with MQL, and conserves space.
INCREASE MACHINING PRODUCTIVITY ON TITANIUM PARTS BY 4X
Makino T-Series 5-axis horizontal machining centers use ADVANTiGE technologies to double the tool life of conventional titanium machining operations on aerospace parts such as edge frames, pylons and bulkheads.
UNATTENDED MACHINING FOR AEROSPACE PRODUCTION
The advanced HCN 6800-II machining center with automated Palletech High-Rise 3 material handling system from Mazak offers flexible unattended production for as many as 16 machines, with up to eight loading and unloading stations.
