Filter by Process Zone:
HIGH-PERFORMANCE DUAL-COLUMN AUTOMATIC BANDSAW
The ABS 320C fully automated bandsaw from KNUTH Machine Tools features a powered pin roller system with .75 hp hydraulic motor for automated, rapid material advancement.
3D PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE SIMPLIFIES PART PROGRAMMING SUPPORTS ROBOTIC BENDING
The latest version of CADMAN-B 3D programming software for bending applications from LVD Strippit automatically determines the bend sequence, automatic gauging positions and tool selection, all optimized for minimum tool stations and part turns. The bending program, tool set up data, and 3D images are sent directly to the press brake control via a standard PC network.
FULLY AUTOMATIC 2D SHORT-GANTRY FLYING OPTIC LASER SYSTEM
Han-Kwang USA introduces the Series PS with a 60-in x 120-in-workpiece capacity, improved part quality and consistent beam quality at the focal point of a powerful Panasonic CO2 laser resonator up to 6 kW in power.
THIN WHEEL ABRASIVES LAST LONGER WHEN CUTTING PIPE STAINLESS STEEL METAL
DEWALT launches a line of hubbed thin wheel and contaminant-free thin wheel abrasives for welders, fabricators and mechanical contractors that last about three times longer than any others.
END FORMING/ROLL FORMING MACHINE IS EASY TO USE
The M10-H3-R from Manchester Tool & Die uses an HMI (Human Machine Interface) programmable flexible control system that includes diagnostics for machine maintenance.
HIGH SPEED MACHINING CENTERS PROVIDE EXCELLENT THERMAL CONTROL
Mikron high-speed machining centers from GF AgieCharmilles use the Swiss-designed Opticool concept to quickly disperse heat, resulting in a geometric stability that provides extremely high repeat accuracy in axial movement.
MULTI-THREADING DRAMATICALLY REDUCES CYCLE TIMES
The multi-threading function from Mastercam Mill not only decreases toolpath processing time, it and allows you to work on other tasks in Mastercam while the multi-threading manager processes toolpaths.
LASER LENGTH MEASURING SYSTEM SCORES A BULLS-EYE
The BSI Laser Length Measuring System from Behringer Saws targets waste reduction by maximizing material usage, providing accurate measurements for confirmation of material size and increased throughput of finished goods.
CATALOG OF METAL FABRICATION TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES
This 128-page 2010 catalog from Camel Grinding Wheels contains over 1,200 metal fabrication tools and accessories, including cut-off wheels, grinding wheels, abrasive belts, carbide burs, wire brushes, flap discs, shop rolls and more.
FAST DIGITIZING SYSTEM FOR WATERJETS
The FlowTeach system from Flow International Corporation quickly digitizes patterns, templates or parts into FlowMaster software that is used on Flow waterjets. The system can functionally support the creation of circles, ellipses, polylines and arcs to both simplify and speed up the actual cutting process.
BOOST CUTTING SPEEDS IN CAST IRON STEEL
Seco Tools applies its Duratomic process technology to its drilling tools for steel and cast iron applications where high cutting speeds are used so that tool life can be extended by up to 100 percent in some applications.
MODULAR MANIA: HMC TRANSFORMS TO SUIT ANY PART MATERIAL MACHINING STRATEGY
The modular SPECHT® 500/630 horizontal machining center configures to titanium/aluminum, direct-load/automated cell, 3-axis/5-axis and other capplications.
