To Improve the Bottom Line, Disrupt the Norm
It’s the classic risk/return trade-off: Changing to new welding processes or procedures can be difficult, but the shop that is willing to accept some level of risk can increase their profitability and gain a competitive edge through reduced costs, better quality, improved productivity and shortened project timelines.
Productive Meets Safe: Equipment Enhancements that Help Prevent Press Brake Injuries
Unless they are fully automated, production on CNC press brakes cannot occur without an operator’s hands being constantly in near proximity to a potential danger zone. For this reason, increasing efforts are being directed toward fail-safe measures on these machines. Here are some of the latest improvements that have been developed by press brake manufacturers to reduce the likelihood of accidental injuries.
How to Bridge the Gap Between Design and Production
Keeping pace with modern manufacturing demands often means bridging the gap between design and production. While challenging at times, it doesn’t necessarily require capital investment. Creative and resourceful applications of tooling and accessories, such as angle heads, can get complex parts out the door without design edits snowballing to the point of loss
Getting the Most from Your Clean Air Budget: Five Tips for Small Shops
Get past the initial equipment and installation costs and start thinking about total cost of ownership over time, including direct operating costs such as energy use, filters and maintenance, and indirect costs such as equipment downtime. Here are five ways a small shop can maximize their clean air budget and get more out of their equipment in the long run.
The Future of High Performance Manufacturing
The Xpert 40 Mobile Bending Cell from Bystronic is a compact system for automated as well as manual bending to support fluctuating lot sizes and varying part complexities of small and medium size parts.
Economical Entry Level Fiber Laser Cutting System
The Mitsubishi SR-F two-dimensional fiber laser processing system from MC Machinery features a 3 m by 1.5 m footprint with 2 kW or 3 kW power and standard fiber laser resonator, processing head and safety cover.
Deburring, Edge-Rounding and Leveling Systems Reduce Operating Costs Downstream
The EdgeBreaker 4000 Plus from ARKU removes burrs/slag to create a clean, even surface and sides on parts up to 3.3 in thick. Their FlatMaster 55 precision leveler quickly delivers leveled and stress-relieved parts and sheets that have been punched or cut by laser, flame and oxyfuel.
FABTECH 2017: Tube & Pipe
The 2017 edition of FABTECH is on track to be one of the largest tube and pipe fabrication events ever at McCormick Place in Chicago, and our special coverage provides technical reviews of some of the machinery and services that will be exhibited to help you navigate the show floor and manage your time while you’re there.
The Latest Robot Powder Coating Application Gun Technology
For high quality robot applications, the RobotGun GM03-R system from GEMA can easily manage complex coating requirements with a high degree of automation and is equipped with a high voltage cascade that ensures outstanding and very precise coating results.
Ultra-Fast Coating Thickness Testing and Handheld Gloss Measurement
To measure coating thickness on either ferrous or non-ferrous metals metals, Elcometer offers three Ultra/Scan probes as options for their 456 Coating Thickness Gauge. They also offer handheld Elcometer 480 single, dual and triple angle glossmeters.
Custom Pipe Bending, Laser Tube Cutting and Fabrication Services
To meet the challenges of many industries and OEMs with tube bending and laser cutting needs, Sharpe Products can produce high quality parts up to 6 in OD, including large and multi-radii requests, that decrease costs with reduced set-up times and minimal scrap.
Powerhouse Tube Bending for High Production Shops
The Model 2650 Fabrication Tube and Pipe Bender from Huth Ben Pearson is ideal for volume production of structures like carports and agricultural buildings, fences, frames for trailers, racks and guards, and their Model 1673 Expander-Reducer-Swager machine can form slip joints, flares/flat flares, ball joints, deep swage expansions and reductions.
