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:
AI-Driven Straightening System Shrinks Cycle Times Up to 80%
Use Coldwater Machine’s solution to straighten tubes and bars made from many types of metals automatically, without operator intervention. Once sensors create a profile of the tubes or bars, a servo press bends the material over the servo’s length till straightening requirements are achieved.
Widely Compatible CAM Probing Cycles for Better Setup, Accuracy
DP Technology, maker of the ESPRIT CAM software, offers a probing option that works with many CNC machines and probing manufacturers. Shops can expect improved part consistency and quality while reducing operator intervention.
Reduce Piercing Time Up To 40% on Thick Steel
Thermal Dynamics Automation’s new QuickPierce function speeds the piercing time on 400-amp cutting systems. Their cost calculator demonstrates long-range savings you can realize, thanks to improvements that extend the life of 400-amp consumables.
Save Time, Reduce Human Error with Document Management Software
ESAB’s Weldcloud Notes for generating and managing PQR, WPS and WPQ helps QC personnel and welding engineers monitor the many facets of the welding project – including compliance. It’s also an efficient online tool to track individual welder performance.
Produce Complex Geometries with Single-Process 3D Cutting System
BLM Group’s LT360 laser cutting system provides 6-axis cutting flexibility that’s fast and easy to program. Its capacitive height sensing feature gives you freedom to truly cut any 3D piece at 360 degrees.
Cutting Software’s Collision Prevention Can Shave Downtime 80%
Lantek’s 2020 version contains more than 100 improvements that emphasize process efficiency as well as remote working for users. Lantek Expert, Lantek Flex3d, Lantek Integra, and Lantek MES Manager have evolved with algorithms to meet market needs.
Flat Pack Laser Alignment Modules
BEA Lasers’s low-profile FPL laser diode modules are fitted with two mounting options and offer red or green laser output. Chances are, your application is listed among the industries using them.
Whatever the Surface, Find Your Finish Here
Weldcote offers a full line of surface conditioning products for all kinds of metal materials. From ultra-fine finishing to removing rust and paint, the wheels and pads for even hard-to-reach areas are covered in this lineup.
FDA- and MDR-Compliant Process Monitoring for Medtech Industry
maXYmos TL ML from Kistler delivers 100% testing of devices as well as the manufacturing environments where pharma and medtech products are made. Proof of quality is a liability shield and can also speed the process of bringing innovation to market.
Choose the Right Die Material for High-Pressure Die Casting
In the HPDC industry, steel selection can be the most costly problem in the supply chain. An Uddeholm expert discusses how to solve the major causes of die failure: heat checking, soldering, erosion and cracking.
Automated Laser Cladding for 3D Metal Additive Repair
Optomec integrates Fanuc LRMate 200 robotic loading with its Huffman line of production 3D metal additive repair machines for high-volume turbine work and myriad industrial applications. Autonomous batch processing expedites cycle times and frees the operator to add value elsewhere.
Accelerate New Product Intros with Machine-Agnostic Data Exchange Format
Siemens has extended its ODB++ data exchange format for a complete end-to-end digital solution covering design, process, and manufacturing information flows. A complete digital twin of the electronics manufacturing flow helps users realize their Smart Factory or Industry 4.0 initiatives.
