Filter by Process Zone:
Link Sheet Metal Storage And Processing In One Completely Automated Process
KASTO’s manipulator for automated sheet metal handling saves time and provides cost advantages by seamlessly connecting the company’s fully automatic storage systems with laser cutting machines made by a range of manufacturers.
Air Hoist Lines for Fast Lifting in Demanding Industrial Settings
Move heavy parts, components and material quickly and confidently with two Harrington Hoists models: the TCK Series and lube-free TCL Series. Cast iron housing ensures strength and durability; adjustable limiter automatically blocks air flow when an overload is detected.
Ergonomic Lifting Devices Act Like Extension of the Operator’s Arm
Gorbel’s G-Force and Easy Arm intelligent lifting devices (ILDs) bridge the gap between traditional lifting solutions and completely automated robotic solutions. They provide a combination of pinpoint precision and speed that hoists and air balancers can’t achieve.
Software Helps You Run a More Profitable Shop Floor
Available with three plan options, Freedom IOT’s Smart Manufacturing Platform provides real-time data collection and custom solutions for any size shop, any machine type, any brand. The software helps you get the most out of shop-floor assets and maximize profitability.
Artificial Intelligence-Powered CAD Sketching Technology
Siemens’ NX Sketch software offers unconstrained concept design sketching within the 3D environment to help increase productivity. Remarkably, NX can recognize tangents and other design relationships to adjust on the fly.
Hold on Tight: Fast, Versatile Holding Solution for Welders
Magnetic V-Pad clamps from Industrial Magnetics, Inc. use dual pivoting magnetic heads to hold workpieces at up to 180 degrees. Use them for repetitive applications because set-up and positioning are quick and easy.
Material-Recycling System Cuts Processing Time By 85%
Vac-U-Max’s recovery system for additive manufacturing extracts unused metal powder from the printing bed and filters it to be reused. The closed system provides a safer work environment because the operator never comes in contact with the powder.
Self-Contained Electrostatic Coolant-Mist Collector
Attach Parker Hannifin’s self-contained SmogHog SHM Machine Mount (MM) onto equipment to collect coolant mists from CNC machining, cold forming, sawing, lathes, and stamping. Easily integrates with machine tool controls for automated operation.
Portable, Magnetized Tool Holder Goes Wherever You Work
The award-winning ToolMat from Master Magnetics sticks to any flat or curved ferrous metal surface to organize and hold tools and small parts whether you’re working in the shop or on a jobsite.
Pendant Application Provides Common Interface for Two Power Source Brands
Does your shop use Lincoln Electric or Miller power sources? If so, Yaskawa Motoman’s universal weldcom interface (UWI) enables welders to easily control any process or parameter including amperage, voltage, and wire feed speed.
Flexible High-Volume, High-Performance Welding Capability
Yaskawa America’s ArcWorld 6000 pre-engineered workcells featuring Motoman AR-series arc welding robots come with virtually everything you need to get up and running quickly and safely. Available in one-, two-, or three-robot configurations.
High-Carbon Metal-Cored Wire For Caster Roll Rebuilding
Lincoln Electric’s Lincore 420HC-S metal-cored wire for submerged-arc welding (SAW) may be used where higher hardness is required and on work rolls and backup rolls when water spray causes pitting on tool steel deposits.
