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:
High-Precision, Reliable Parts Processing for Tool Mold and Die Makers
GF Machining Solutions’ MILL P 500 vertical milling machine maintains positioning accuracy over extended machining times. Its Step-Tec spindle reduces secondary manual polishing – and it comes standard.
Compact Horizontal Machining Center with New Controls
The crisp new paint scheme on Methods Machine Tools’ KIWA KH-4100kai is just the beginning of design features its predecessor lacked. New componentry inside, including 0i-MF Plus FANUC controls, improve the planning, machining, and chip flow on this four-axis HMC.
Two New PPE Headphone Designs
ISOtunes’ satisfies individual user preferences for hearing protection with its new LINK Bluetooth earmuff headphones and the EXTRA 2.0 earbuds that are water-, dust- and sweat-proof. Affordable and built with long-lasting battery life, both products are OSHA and NIOSH compliant.
CNC and Robotics Integration Simplifies Operations
The Quick and Simple Startup of Robotization (QSSR) from FANUC America enables FANUC CNCs to directly program robots through the G-code – special operator training in robotic programming language not required.
Award-Winning Safeguarding Solution for Industrial Robots Lowers Collaboration Costs
Veo Robotics’ FreeMove sensors-and-software system uses advanced computer vision and 3D sensing to safely turn a high-speed, heavy-load industrial robot arm into a collaborative robot (cobot) that’s faster – and thus more productive – than traditional cobots.
Cost-Efficient Material Storage and Retrieval Systems
Eurostorage U.S. licensee Athena Manufacturing manufactures customized storage-and-retrieval systems that enable one employee to pull out a heavy drawer of sheet metal and profiles. The elegant and ergonomic designs are low maintenance as well.
High-Speed Cobot Ensures Safety Without Compromising Productivity
Designed to support intermittent interaction between human and industrial robot, ABB Robotics’ 1100 Swifti CRB (for “collaborative robot”) automatically slows, stops, and restarts depending on an employee’s presence in preprogrammed safety zones.
Digital Manufacturing Platform Adds Quality Services
Hardware product teams need not choose between speed and quality because Fictiv delivers both with the integration of new quality services into its digital thread. Customers who depend on precision parts in such industries as robotics, healthcare, aerospace, and automotive have the assurance of consistent manufacturing results at an unprecedented pace.
Scanning Kit for Ultrasound Examinations of Pipe Elbows
When used with any instrument in Zetec’s Topaz family, the ElbowFlex provides high-resolution C-scan images of corrosion and other damage. It saves significant inspection time compared to conventional ultrasonic testing (UT) and grid systems.
Seamless Workflow from CT Scan to Full Statistical Analysis
Volume Graphics integrates Q-DAS’ qs-STAT statistics software with computed tomography (CT) scan data analysis to provide the basis for a deep assessment and continuous improvement of industrial production processes.
Lab-Quality Elemental Analysis In The Field with a Lightweight Tool
The smallest and lightest handheld XRF analyzer available, Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Niton XL5 Plus enables manufacturing professionals to make informed decisions that impact workplace safety while improving productivity and mitigating user fatigue.
Multisensor Vision System Provides Larger Field of View (FOV)
Starrett’s AVR-FOV 0.14X has a 0.14 magnification lens. When combined with “superimage” technology that stitches images together and a touch probe, operators on the shop floor see more of each part, no matter how complex, they inspect.
