Electric Press Brake Compliments Laser Cutting Operations
The high-speed Xcite 80 E press brake from Bystronic compliments the most demanding of part volumes generated by today’s high-speed laser cutting machines, such as fiber lasers.
Emerging Trends in Press Brake Automation
Paul LeTang of LVD Strippit explains how press brake automation is moving toward the eventual outcome of a system where piece cost is the same, no matter how large the batch size, and setup up time is effectively eliminated.
Largest Diameter FCAW Wire for Out-of-Position Welding
Tom Myers of Lincoln Electric examines the size and type of wire needed to weld out of position with a mild-steel, flux-cored wire as fast as possible.
Continuing Education… On a CNC?
Randy Pearson of Siemens Industry explores how shop owners and major machining departments are discovering the untapped and potential enhancements for worker skill sets.
Rigid Lifelines Launches New Website
This new website is one of the best resources on OSHA and ANSI Regulations and Standards in fall protection, with a glossary of commonly used terms, FAQs, and industry specific fall protection solutions that meets the needs of any worksite.
Hydromechanical Vises with Gauge
This NC vise from Hilma/Carr Lane Roemheld is easy to maintain, has a repeatability of 0.0004 in and comes with a clamp force indicating gauge for enhanced precision and repeatability.
Continuing Education… On a CNC? (The Prequel)
Mike Riley reports on how this grassroots response – the heart of the new industrial revolution now taking place in America – recognizes how to use shop floor-oriented continuing education in advanced technologies to offset the profound impact of cheap foreign labor on U.S. manufacturing.
Teach Your Children Well
Virtual reality welding technology from Lincoln Electric not only helps future Ag-Ed teachers at Iowa State University train and prepare for upcoming careers, it serves as a recruiting tool to advance the proud ISU tradition of producing the nation’s next generation of skilled Ag-Ed teachers.
Over a Barrel
The hydraulic shop of this Cat dealer salvages cylinders up to 21 ft long by re-surfacing them with an HTA tube hone, saving their customers 80 percent or more over cost of new barrel.
Rough Turning of Difficult Superalloy
Instead of a knee-jerk reaction to lighten the cut and increase the passes to ‘take a load off the insert’ when facing an insert rupture when running Inconel, Scot Forge went to a stronger Hex-Turn insert with a gentle lead angle from Ingersoll Cutting Tools to make fewer, deeper passes.
Extra Large Economies of Scale
By extending the flexibility and accuracy of tried and true flying optics laser cutting technology to a massive 10 ft by 20 ft table platform, the supersized XL Series from Mitsubishi Laser is capable of tackling even the biggest projects.
American Built Building of America
The economics for successful U.S. manufacturing appear to be swinging in the right direction, but a skilled labor shortage and economic uncertainty are clouding the view. Strategies for success vary among American manufacturers, but Hypertherm chose to invest here and is succeeding. Here’s how they did it.
