Will These Two Materials Safely Join?
Coldwater Machine’s free “Will it Meld” calculator enables manufacturers to easily determine if two dissimilar materials can be joined using the company’s SpinMeld rotary friction welding systems.
Revolutionary Handheld Laser Welding System for Fabricators
IPG Photonics launches simple, flexible LightWELD, which welding novices can use within a few hours. Experienced MIG and TIG welders benefit from rapid processing capabilities to weld thick, thin and reflective metals with minimal distortion.
Machining Center Handles Large Workpieces in a Small Footprint
Campro USA introduces its second-generation 5-axis machining center, the NU550, which delivers big versatility in a small area –– incorporate it in a manufacturing cell with automatic loading, machine transfer robotics or AGV transfers.
Clamp Virtually Any Workpiece Geometry
SMW Autoblok’s versatile four-in-one Centco4 2+2 self-centering and compensating chuck minimizes downtime by reducing changeouts and minimizes waste by reducing part deformation.
Five Tools From Big Kaiser
The producer of high-precision tooling solutions introduces a drill for low cutting speeds, dual-purpose milling cutter, jet-through hydraulic chuck line for 5-axis machining, and new EWA fine boring heads and EWE digital boring heads.
Round Inserts Improve Profiling With Long Overhangs In Narrow Grooves
Sandvik Coromant -RM inserts for CoroCut QD for Y-axis parting enables profiling with long overhangs in narrow grooves, external profiling, the generation of recesses and undercuts, and the potential to use nonlinear turning and grooving with a full radial bottom.
Online New-Product Source
Wintriss Controls Group creates a new-product resource to share press automation and controller updates and OEE software demonstrations the company would have featured at this year’s FABTECH trade show.
Company Improves Line of Tube Processing Machines
Transfluid’s K series machines are robust and easier to operate, thanks to control changes that require minimal operator input and different options for sharing bending data. Reliability and durability are the priority.
Free Data Exchange Format Facilitates Creating a Digital Thread
With ODB++Process, Siemens expands its ODB++ data exchange format to that include process engineering as well as design and manufacturing. The ability to create an end-to-end digital thread produces a comprehensive digital twin that accelerates new product introductions and first-time-right manufacturing.
High-Speed Robots for Small-Part Processing
Available in two compact models, Yaskawa Motoman’s horizontally articulated SG-Series SCARA robots are highly repeatable and offer a wide variety of fieldbus connectivity options. They easily integrate with existing robotic automation and are easily redeployed.
Additive Manufacturing for Air, Land, Sea, and Space Applications
Sciaky’s wire-based electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) 3D printing technology is faster, less expensive, and safer than other direct energy deposition (DED) options. Closed-loop adaptive control system ensures precision and repeatability.
Software Simplifies Part-Cutting Programming and Quality
NUM’s NUMcut for CNC water jet, laser, and plasma beam cutting machines increases efficiency by incorporating CAD/CAM postprocessor computing resources. Real-time analytical functions for water jets improve quality by automating cutting speed and path.
