Laser Welding Cell Forgives Imperfections
The TruLaser Weld 5000 laser welding cell from TRUMPF greatly simplifies the laser welding operations through a new cube design, software components, hardware innovations and the FusionLine laser welding process that uses a welding wire supply to allow for the welding of components with gaps.
Automatic Sawing of Structural Steels, High-Tensile Strength Solids and More
Perfect for production cutting, steel service centers and job shops, the HBE-261A Dynamic, the HBE320-523G Dynamic, and the HBE663A Dynamic band saws from Behringer Saws are ideal for a wide range of applications, including heavy duty sawing of structural steels and high-tensile strength solids.
Semi-Automatic Precision Angle Sawing of Solid and Profile Metals
The DS-600SA StructurALL semi-automatic, dual-miter band saw from DoALL cuts material both linear and at angles, with miter angle cuts possible up to 60 deg left and right. A digital readout provides easy verification of exact cutting angles.
Air Powered Pipe Belt Finisher for Stainless Steel, Metals and Other Materials
The air-powered 14360 Pipe Belt Finisher from Dynabrade is ideal for blending and finishing of metals, stainless steel and a variety of other materials used in pharmaceutical equipment, food machinery, railing and other metal fabrication applications.
Advanced Measuring and Positioning Systems for High Precision Cutting
The Noncontact Material Length Positioner and 48 in Ball Screw Bar-Feed from HE&M Saw are servo-driven material handling systems that increase overall operating efficiency with more accurate part lengths in faster cycle times.
Easy and Extremely Accurate Measurements at an Affordable Price
The CCP c-vision Lite Digital Video Contour Projector from QVI is a benchtop manual measuring system with precision tri-magnification optics and advanced digital image processing that fits easily in most workspaces and provides extremely accurate measurements.
Instant and Automatic Digital Dimensional Measurement of Large, Bulky Complex Parts
The SNAP 350 large-area automatic digital dimensional measuring system from RAM Optical Instrumentation offers up to a 100 mm field of view to measure large complex parts with critical details or numerous small parts instantly and automatically without programming.
Innovative 3D Precision Welding Tables and Rollovers to Simplify Part Handling
With loading capacity up to 20,000 lb, high tolerance 3D Precision Welding Tables from Bluco are hardened to protect against spatter build-up, provide a corrosion resistant surface for a long useful life, and have a lifetime warranty.
Diverse Workholding Systems for Lights-Out Manufacturing
For gear surface face grinding, the powered external KZF-S collet chuck from Röhm is especially well suited for clamping gears/workpieces that have an external plane or gear teeth geometries accessible from the outside.
