Faster Than Ever: Revolutionary Laser Technology Changes the Game
The OPTIPLEX 3015 DDL laser cutting machine from Mazak Optonics uses direct diode laser technology for faster cutting speeds than fiber lasers of like power and wall-plug efficiencies of 45 percent as compared to 35 percent for fiber.
Laser Welding Made Easy
The TruLaser Robot 5020 from TRUMPF provides for easy, cost effective entry into laser welding of simple sheet metal parts to bent profiles and three-dimensional geometry that is commonly produced on machining centers.
Laser Sensing and Workhorse Robot Cells Improve Weld Quality, Reduce Cycle Times
The AccuFast II laser seam finder and high speed ArcWorld 200 and ArcWorld 500 welding systems from Yaskawa Motoman greatly improve shop welding productivity.
How to Drive Improvement in Your Existing Welding Power Source Fleet
Utilizing external weld monitors that work with any brand of machine and any welding process can help drive productivity and efficiency gains, improve quality, and help reduce costs and lost time. Here are some ways for your shop to generate greater profitability through better information management.
High Speed Welding
Here are some of the newest advances in welding systems and consumables that can help metal fabricators increase their productivity, add more capacity, and lower their operating costs.
Rebuilding American Manufacturing, One Veteran at a Time
A perfect storm: One million veterans leave the service every five years as a projected two million manufacturing jobs go unfilled in the U.S. over the next decade due to lack of skilled labor. Take a closer look at how veterans are forging new careers in metalworking through Workshops for Warriors – and how manufacturers can put skin in the game with support.
Time to Reconsider Holding Taps with Collet Chucks
The next time you think about setting up a tapping operation with a collet chuck the same old way you always have, you may want to think again. There are now tap holders designed specifically to mitigate the load imposed on the tap by essentially absorbing synchronization error.
Metal 3D Printing for Land, Sea, Air and Space
When a submarine manufacturer saved significant time and cost by using Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing to 3D print a titanium Variable Ballast tank, the technology became the only industrial-scale metal 3D printing process with approved parts for land, sea, air, and space applications.
Better Fume Control for Large Weldments Starts at the Source
Is your weld fume solution a fan and an open window? Working on large weldments – such as heavy equipment, ships or wind turbines – makes fume capture a challenge. However, today’s manufacturers have more options for fume control than ever. The best option for manual welding of large components may be one you haven’t considered for a while: the fume gun.
Approaching Removal Jobs from a New Angle
Efficient attachment removal has always been tricky. Without the ability to mechanically position the tool so that a closer cut can be achieved with less residual metal, workers were forced to deal with the drawbacks of traditional removal processes. But not anymore: A small alteration has made a huge impact on the attachment removal process.
Beckwood Receives Award from Bechtel for Hydroforming
The Supply Chain Recognition Award honors their outstanding work at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Hobart Brothers Celebrates 100th Anniversary
A rich legacy of welding innovation was celebrated by more than 500 current and retired employees, friends and corporate partners, customers and business colleagues, and local city officials.
