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:
Workholding Bundles Facilitate 5-Axis Machining
Kurt Manufacturing’s pre-engineered Pyramid bundles enable clamping of three components in one fixture in a single setup. They’re standard for 12 5-axis vise models and handle parts from 2 inches to 7 inches.
Roll Form Taps for Medium-Strength Steels
Designed for forming threads with improved surface quality, Emuge Corp.’s Innoform–Steel-M line of HSSE-PM taps increase static and dynamic thread strength in medium-strength steels up to 44 HRC.
Easily Adjustable Tool Stabilizes Work on Tall Parts
Stability affects everything from profitability to employee safety. Big Kaiser’s zero-point Unilock Stabilizer 50 provides consistency by quickly and easily adjusting to new parts whether you’re machining, welding, or assembling.
Automated Nozzle Makes Light Work of Thick-Wall Welding
Pemamek’s PEMA nozzle welding solution eliminates heavy welding’s drudgery and inaccuracy. Built-in lasers scan the geometry of each layer, which the robot’s control software uses to automatically generate the ideal path for the next pass.
Don’t Risk Weld Failure by Using the Wrong Dam Material
Unlike water-based materials that leak or slip from position, HFT’s weld purge film doesn’t contain water but is water-soluble. After being used to produce quality welds on tubes and pipes, the film dissolves and washes away.
Helmet Protects Welder’s Eyes Before the Arc’s First Flash
Intelligent occupational safety: That’s what Fronius offers in the Vizor Connect. Communicating with the power source via wireless Bluetooth communications technology, the helmet’s visor darkens as soon as the welder turns on the torch.
Portable Stick/Lift TIG Inverter Packs Unexpected Power
Weld with any stick electrode type wherever the work takes you with ESAB’s lightweight and reliable Miniarc Rogue ES 180i TIG inverter. A stable arc down to 10 amps provides the control welders need on thin metal or delicate components.
Space-Saving but Powerful Double-Arm Clamps
Individually adjustable arm opening angles and tolerance compensation enable Destaco’s Model 84A40-1/84A50-1 power clamps to minimize changeover times by giving welders more flexibility. Don’t worry about harsh operating environments because contaminants can’t penetrate the enclosed design.
Graphical Guidance Removes All Probing Questions
A software wizard for NUM’s Flexium+ CNC systems enables total automation of probe measurement on the shop floor. Operators don’t need to know G-code because the software provides visual prompts for 29 calibration, presetting, and/or measurement routines.
Profile Projector Simplifies Processing
Mitutoyo America’s M2 2D processor package is available with a PH-3515 profile projector with 14-inch touchscreen tablet. The horizontal projector is equipped with accurate linear glass scales and performs profile and fiberoptic surface illumination.
Press One Button to Change Gaging for One Part Type to Another
Marposs’ OptoFlash Xs30 meets the measuring requirements of extra small components for the precision mechanical devices and medical implants industries. The 2D optical inspection system handles 100 static measurements in 2 seconds.
Cylindrical Is a Cinch with Benchtop Laser Measurement System
Marposs’ Meclab.X’s Aeroel technology eliminates measurement drift caused by changes in room temperature. The micrometer system doesn’t require a PC and is easy for inexperienced operators to learn, so it’s ideal for common measurement applications throughout the shop.
