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:
ESPRIT CAM and Alma CAM Create Robot Additive DED Programming
The partnership has resulted in a validated workflow that provides end users with dedicated additive toolpath planning and programming, as well as robot programming, simulation, verification, collision detection, and code generation. Engineers can also use the technology to achieve the above functions for subtractive finishing.
Heavy-duty Helmet Shields Against Welding Fumes, Particulates
ESAB’s Savage A40 PAPR has a two-stage replaceable filtration cartridge that meets NIOSH certification and removes 99.9 percent of airborne particles. Providing comfort, performance and value, this helmet will be available at the end of January 2021.
Cool Factor Outside, High-Tech Welding Helmet Inside
Miller Electric’s Metal Matrix and Gear Box helmets have the graphical identity that resonate with welders while giving them the protection they need. The Digital Elite and Classic Series helmets have built-in technology that automatically activates for optimal optical safety.
Protect Welders’ Eyes with True-Color, Auto-Darkening Filters
Weldcote introduces high-definition technology for passive-style welding helmets designed to reduce eye fatigue. Offering a view area of 5.15 square inches, the filters come in four choices of shade.
Enhance Cut Quality by Matching Beam Shape to Part
Mazak Optonics’ Optiplex Nexus 3015 Fiber S7 is a 7kW 2D flying optics fiber laser-cutting system with beam-shaping capability that enables operators to select beam size and shape according to material thickness.
Manufacturing Process Enhances Cutting Wheel Durability
Weldcote’s A-Prime Plus line of cutting wheels lasts longer because they’re manufactured via a multistep granulation process that evenly distributes each individually coated aluminum oxide grain.
Seamless Finishing Wheels for Fine-Tolerance Work
Shur-Brite finishing wheels from Superior Abrasives produce a satin finish without the visible transition lines often caused by traditional flap brushes. Their seamless design ensures conformability by providing superior cushioning at low speeds.
Burnishing Tools for Virtually Any Production Need
Sugino’s Superoll burnishing tools provide 0.1-to-0.8-micron finishing in one pass. They integrate into machining centers to improve productivity by eliminating secondary processes, such as grinding and honing, without removing additional material.
Reformulated Grinding Wheel Lasts Almost 50% Longer
The entire working section of Rex-Cut Abrasives’ Aluminator grinding wheel can be used without sacrificing productivity or finish. Its cotton fiber breaks down to continually expose new grit, providing consistent metal removal for the wheel’s entire life.
Mounted Stone Kit for Cooler Cutting
The distinctive pink abrasive grain makes Palmgren’s mounted stones exceptionally durable while providing cooler cutting.
Robotic Kit for Precise, Affordable Finishing
OnRobot’s random orbital sander is an out-of-the-box automated sanding and polishing solution that works with virtually any collaborative robot (cobot) brand. Brushless electric motor costs less than traditional pneumatically powered sanding systems.
Reusable Grinding Wheel
The core of Norton Winter Aeon electroplated grinding wheels from Saint-Gobain Abrasives can be re-plated with new diamond or cBN grain in a continuous re-plating cycle for increased efficiency and long life.
