Filter by Process Zone:
BobCAD-CAM Updates Software Program
BobCAD-CAM V33 offers more functionality than ever before. This version has 36 upgrades and enhancements affecting general CAD; BobART; general, mill, and lathe CAM; and simulation.
F-35 Fighter Jet Blasts Off with Precision Components
As a joint strike fighter (JSF) partner, Starrag Group machines help manufacture the world’s most complex military aircraft. The Droop+Rein FOGS 6-axis machining center with 300 Nm spindle rough-machines steel and titanium components using a variety of heads and performs high-speed finishing of dies.
Multipurpose Welding Machine
Designed for MIG, TIG and stick welding, Weldcote’s MIG 200 Striker multipurpose unit increases efficiency via a power factor corrector and digital readouts that automatically adjust operation to the power grid’s voltage.
Endlessly Reconfigurable Welding Table
The 28-mm PRO28 modular fixturing system from Strong Hand Tools is the only heavy-duty metric table with individual, positionable plates for unlimited vertical and horizontal welding possibilities.
Simplified Longitudinal Seam Weld Inspection
Simple and efficient enough to be used by one operator, the AxSEAM semiautomated scanner for longitudinal seam weld inspection minimizes the number of adjustments required to change pipe diameters, probe separation, or scan orientation.
Wireless Interface Control for Engine Drives
Miller Electric’s Trailblazer and Big Blue welder/generators are available with Wireless Interface Control. The option gives operators the power to control the units remotely from the palm of their hands.
Welder/Generator Powers Multiple Tools
Delivering 9.5 kW of consistent current via its AC generator, Lincoln Electric’s Ranger 260MPX welder/generator reliably powers auxiliary tools and equipment including sensitive electronics like laptops.
Portable Cutting and Welding Machine
Koike Aronson’s multifunctional IK-12 NEXT is capable of plasma and oxy-fuel cutting as well as general welding and pendulum weave welding. Even inexperienced operators can achieve consistent high-quality results.
Manage Welding Operations From Your Home Office
Multiple workers and Fronius equipment can be monitored singly and in the aggregate when networked with the company’s WeldCube Premium software. The program provides easily accessible data documentation and analysis via a central database.
ESAB Adds Specialty Gas And Valve Product Lines
As ESAB consolidates products into four major categories, the company opens a Configuration Center to provide build-to-order services for its line of Gas Control Equipment (GCE) products.
Weldable Corrosion Inhibitor
According to testing by a heavy equipment manufacturer, Daubert Cromwell’s ready-to-use Nox-Rust 5400 rust-prevention coating doesn’t compromise weld quality or contribute to hydrogen-induced cracking.
Two AC Inverter Welding Power Supplies
Inverter technology with pulse-width modulation (PWM) enables Amada Weld Tech’s MIB-300A and MIB-600A power sources to provide better control than standard AC welders.
