The Latest Updates in Technology
For more than a decade, we at Fabricating & Metalworking Online have carried stories on the latest machines and equipment to hit the market. Take a look at our latest updates, go back in our archives to see what we’ve written about in the past.
Filter by Process Zone:
Robot Ready for Harsh and Cleanroom Applications
The IRB 1300 industrial robot from ABB features IP67, Foundry Plus 2 and cleanroom ISO 4 versions. It performs a range of tasks that includes material handling, machine tending, polishing, assembly and testing.
Digitalization Keeps Manufacturers’ Accountability Squeaky Clean
Ecoclean Connect cloud solution for parts cleaning processes ensures you’re meeting customers’ quality and traceability requirements. Defined data from the cleaning system’s control unit is encrypted and securely transmitted to the cloud.
Metrology Sensors For Production Site Visualization and Productivity
Mitutoyo America’s EJ Counters and LG100 Series Linear Gages are compact, high-speed, and easy to use. Even data management is simplified with a USB interface provided for easy connection with a computer.
Spirit Levels with Adjustment and Cross-Measurement
The GN 2276 cross spirit levels and GN 2283 screw-on spirit levels from JW Winco are essential for achieving perfectly horizontal alignment of machines, mechanisms or instruments. A company conversion table helps customers identify which sensitivity is best for various applications.
‘Drill Everything’ Insert with High-Speed Steel Geometry
Allied Machine’s T-A Pro is the machine shop’s and manufacturer’s spade drill that performs in tough conditions for about 25% less than the marketplace alternatives. Heavy equipment and aerospace part manufacturers get the hole quality, tool life and process security they demand.
Tool Holder’s Coolant Holes Maximize Coolant Flow
The secret to better tool life is great coolant flow, and AccuKool is the secret behind Accutek’s AccuGrip Shrink Fit tool holder. Its specially designed holes keep coolant flowing to and through cutting flutes.
Updated 3D CAD/CAM Suite with Easy Toolpath Editing
Machining programmers using OPEN MIND’s hyperMILL 2021.1 can trim and remove sequences as needed after creating their initial toolpath. It also features a new 5-axis radial machining tool that helps users rapidly apply the most productive machining strategies.
‘Upside Down’ Machining Equals Unlimited Possibilities for Part Machining
GROB Systems’ G350 5-Axis universal machining center has a special axis concept enabling the full tool length to be employed in any axis position, even with maximum part size. That “tunnel” concept enables a swiveling for largest-possible components without collision.
VMCs Offer Jig Milling Accuracy with Machining Center Productivity
Mitsui Seiki’s “J” series offers a positioning accuracy and repeatability of +/- 1µm. Combining machining center technology with jig borer precision in one machine, the “Jig” VMCs achieve precision boring, milling, drilling and tapping.
Plug-and-Play IIoT Platform Enables Digital Transformation
Attention mid-sized manufacturers: FactoryEye from Magic Software brings the digital world to you – with real-time intelligence – in an easy, affordable and flexible solution. No need to replace existing equipment or infrastructure.
Automated Multispindle Program Creation Boosts Long-Part Machining Productivity
ESPRIT CAM’s ESPRIT TNG enables offset-aware programming of spindle transfers and bar pulls to help manufacturers drive multichannel CNC machinery. The ‘next generation’ CAM provides an exact digital replica of every facet of the machining environment.
Rotary Encoders Made for Robots
Compact and lightweight, the KCI/KBI 1300 series of inductive rotary encoders from HEIDENHAIN offer contamination-resistant inductive circumferential scanning. The high-speed EnDat 2.2 interface enables more information to be communicated such as temperature or diagnostics.
