The Ultimate CNC Tube Bending for Subcontractors
Unison’s 130-mm diameter tube bender is a robust, multiradius and multistack machine with the benefit of additional component length to give buyers an edge in the subcontractor marketplace. Users are able to achieve right-first-time manufacturing for repeat subcontract work.
Change 3D Metal Printer’s Deposition Head While Printing, Coating
Chiron Group’s flexible additive manufacturing machine – the Chiron AM Cube – is designed with laser metal deposition technology to work efficiently in the mechanical engineering, tool manufacturing, energy production, and aerospace sectors. Its three deposition heads can perform different functions on a single workpiece.
OPC Connectivity Solution Collects, Distributes Factory-Wide Data
GF Machining Solutions has launched Version 1.0 of the Open Platform Communications (OPC) Unified Architecture (UA) interface as a single connectivity solution for North American manufacturers. It will help reduce machine downtime, monitor performance across entire facilities, automate operations, and ensure manufacturing process compliance.
Updated Software Simulates and Automatically Corrects Bending Sequence
Available in two versions with varying levels of functionality, transfluid’s Windows-based t project software links geometry and material data to achieve precise bending results.
End Formers for Aerospace, Tank, and HVAC Components
Two models – the 2.5 and 4.0 – from Kaast Machine Tools ensure consistently accurate strength-promoting beads in materials up to 0.15-inch (4mm) thick. Available with mechanically (ZSM) or hydraulically (ZSH) driven upper rolls.
Track and Control Stamping Operations in Real Time From Wherever You Are
IRMCO Advanced Metalforming Lubricant Technologies’ iNSIGHT enables metal stampers to track the rate of chemical consumption by part and process and compare the data to tool life to pinpoint the actual cost per part for each process in a facility.
Two Electric Upcut Tube Saws
Two standard models – the eRB80 TS and eRB150 TS – electric upcut tube saws from Innovative Engineered Solutions (iES) cut diameters up to 3.5 inches (90mm) and 5.9 inches (150mm), respectively.
Fully Integrated System Automates Pipe Cutting From Start to Finish
HGG Profiling Equipment’s ProCutter900 RB increases throughput by continuously feeding, cutting and profiling, and moving pipe out. The small-footprint machine’s accuracy dramatically reduces post-cutting grinding, fitting and welding time.
Automated Centerless Tube Grinder
An automated version of Glebar’s TF-9BHD infeed/thrufeed centerless grinder, the TF-9D features the widest work wheel on the market. Customizable interface designed for automation and 8-5/8-inch-wide work wheel combine to increase throughput.
Autonomous Tube/Wire Bender Enables Lights-Out Production
Featuring a compact layout, integrated loading/unloading capability, and easy-to-use programming software, BLM Group’s Smart Bender enables an operator to go from design to part in one click and walk away.
Two-Arm Cobot Doubles Efficiency Without Sacrificing Safety
Even though they have two arms, Kawasaki Robotics’ duAro cobots fit into a single-person space while providing enough room for an employee to safely work alongside. Two models provide 8.8- and 13-pound payloads.
Three Updated Cobot Models Offer Greater Connectivity
The “A” in Hanwha’s HCR-3A, HCR-5A, and HCR-12A stands for “advanced.” Three cobot models improve on their predecessors by offering customizable solution packages that incorporate artificial intelligence and mobility technologies.
