Filter by Process Zone:
CBN Honing Tool Tackles the Toughest Metals
Brush Research Manufacturing’s Flex-Hone finishing tools are available with cubic boron nitride (CBN) abrasive, which combines the highest hardness with excellent toughness for success with difficult-to-finish surfaces.
Chip Blower Automates Cleaning of Parts and Tables
BIG KAISER’s Chip Blower helps machines reach maximum productivity levels by safely and efficiently removing coolants and debris. The blower complements the ChipFan the company introduced several years ago.
Overhead Fan Cost-Effectively Cools Equipment and Employees
Big Ass Fans’ Powerfoil D is the only direct-drive overhead fan designed to withstand excessive heat, dust, and other stresses common in fabrication and machining job shops. Diameters: 8 feet to 24 feet.
Portable Rigging Kit Moves Components, Assemblies Up to 17 Tons
Gotta move a press brake, machining center, or any other piece of equipment that’s less than 40 feet long? AeroGo’s all-in-one rigging kit ensures safe transfer using compressed air and lightweight overlays.
Digital 3-D Sensor for Milling and Eroding Machines
Tramming in a workpiece or fixture to a machine, measuring lengths and depths, checking flatness, or aligning workpieces and vise? Haimer USA’s 3-D sensors make locating the edge in XYZ as easy as 1-2-3.
Air-Powered Belt Replaces Tedious Hand Filing And Sanding
Dynabrade’s Dynafile grinds, deburrs, blends, and finishes normally inaccessible areas on metal, plastic, fiberglass, and other composites, and does light corner weld removal and blending of welds. Belt-tracking system ensures trouble-free operation.
3-D Precision Welding Tables Simplify Part Handling
With loading capacity up to 20,000 pounds, Bluco’s high-tolerance 3-D welding tables are hardened to protect against spatter build-up, provide a corrosion-resistant surface, and come with a lifetime warranty.
Hold Onto Large Parts Without Letting Go Of Precision, Speed, and Consistency
Consisting of a base plate and components, Bluco’s modular fixturing systems cut setup time in half compared to manually tooling up. The company can customize extra-large fixturing kits featuring base plates up to 20 feet.
Multipurpose Fabrication in One System
With OMNIAtech, Soitaab combines plasma cutting and bevel cutting with a host of heavy fabricating functions that are easy for operators to use. Accessories include a variety of markers and a drilling head with automatic tool changer.
Big Leap for Fiber Laser Welding
The HighLight FL4000CSM-ARM fiber laser from Coherent achieves advanced, more stable welding results with high thermal conductivity metals. Its dual beam output creates high laser intensity, so material doesn’t heat up.
Double-Duty Brush Washers Clean and Lubricate Before Stamping
Handling material up to 84 in. wide, Automatic Feed’s coil-fed lubricant brush washers continuously clean debris while an automatic grease system lubricates the roll bearings. Result: great surface quality and reduced downtime for maintenance.
Lightweight, Adjustable-Angle Tooling Unit for the Pressroom
Set Bilsing’s swivel unit tooling to the exact angle you need, +/- 45 degrees. It’s 30 percent lighter than other models and, with a compact design, it’s 20 percent smaller, facilitating accessibility in tight applications.
