Advanced Fiber Laser for Cutting Thick Plate Fast
Compared to CO2 laser systems, the HyIntensity® Fiber Laser HFL030 from Hypertherm significantly simplifies table design requirements and integration, lowers operating costs and drastically reduces total cost of ownership.
High-Speed Laser Controls for Sophisticated Laser Processing
The Series 30i/31i-L MODEL B high-speed laser control from FANUC FA has the capacity to deliver seamless choreography between axes motion and power modulation, even in cases of extremely high speeds when processing thin gage materials.
Faster Throughput, Higher Accuracy Laser Cutting
The META system/1 kW CO2 laser from Coherent can readily cut stainless steel thicknesses up to 3 mm, aluminum up to 2 mm, and mild steel up to 6 mm, with unmatched flexibility to process a wide range of plastics, wood, fabrics, leather, paper and thin films.
Laser Reduces Cutting Time on Sheets
The BySprint Pro 3015 high-speed laser cutting system from Bystronic has a higher wattage option that provides faster feed rates and quicker pierce times across the full material range and a lower cost per part.
Laser Cutting System for High Variation Job Shops
The OPTIPLEX 4 kW fiber laser system from Mazak Optonics uses a Type 10 resonator for improved operating efficiency when processing the thinnest steel up to 1 in mild steel and retaining optimal cutting conditions during extended unattended operation.
Working without Forklifts
Forklift-free systems compliment lean manufacturing by replenishing material as it is used, rather than keeping excess material on the shop floor. And they can require less than half of the equipment and labor necessary to move those materials. Is it time to consider a switch?
Just What the Doctor Ordered
QC20-W wireless ballbar technology from Renishaw does fast checks with minimal interruption and adds a new dimension of volumetric accuracy testing that is ideal for use in small machining envelopes on medical machine tools.
Is It Time to Rebuild or Retrofit Your Hydraulic Press?
Hydraulic press operators must keep their costs down while meeting shorter lead times and the demand for higher precision parts. New press technology has already outdated some presses that were purchased as recently as ten to fifteen years ago. Is new machinery the only answer? Here’s why the answer is no.
Punching Automation: Simplicity or Complexity?
Punching automation was once considered simply a tool for large production runs. But now even small job shops are automating to free operators to perform other tasks or prepare machines for their next job. Here’s a look at how punching automation now fits to meet any shop’s needs.
The Higher Power Behind Power Sources
Many welders are still not aware that it is now possible to combine and capture all the information associated with their welding operation into one simple interface – their power source. This is the most advanced way to approach data acquisition and production monitoring in the welding industry.
No Chips, This Time
As technologies merge and metal fabrication applications grow more complex, CNC is now becoming a powerful alternative solution to PLCs for builders and users of metal forming and “non-traditional” machine tools, such as EDM, abrasive waterjet and others.
Competing in the World of Big Data
The manufacturing sector has come far in its use of analytic data, but not far enough. Ben Kerschberg of the BK Advisory Group explains why manufacturers who do not embrace a complete vision of using this tool will soon find themselves at a significant competitive disadvantage.
