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:
Multiaxis Machining Gives Shops Competitive Advantage
With simultaneous 4- and 5-axis machining capabilities, the Mastercam Multiaxis add-on puts basic and advanced machining strategies into the user’s hands. A ‘near miss tolerance’ setting lets the machinist determine how close the cutter can come to the part.
Compact Shifting Gripper Speeds Up Transfer Movement
Lightweight feed grippers from Bilsing Automation extend up to 100 mm, providing stabilization through the Z-axis movement to the part during press transfer. To conserve space, they’re designed to pick parts from the top.
Autonomous Mobile Robot Tugger Can Tow 15,000 Lbs
AutoGuide’s Max-N15 is a high-payload, modular AMR for multiple manufacturing and warehouse material handling tasks. Flexible, safe and easy-to-deploy, it’s designed with modular attachments to create lift trucks, tuggers or high bay pallet lift trucks.
Industry 4.0 Quality Control Tool for Small Manufacturers
Data analysis isn’t just for large companies. Argolytics’ Trendable software is an easy, cost-effective way to collect and analyze measurement data that can be used to improve product quality and throughput by refining manufacturing processes.
Calculate Total Weld Cost from Fabrication Shop Data
The updated ESAB Quick Weld Productivity Analyzer tool enables fast report generation and editing. Among its improvements, the calculator provides more filler metal for the North American market.
Healthy Welding Wire? No Cancer-Causing CrVI Emissions Here
Free of chromium and nickel, EnDOtec Safe-Hard 600 wire range from Castolin Eutectic has reduced fume emissions and complies with the strictest European Exposure Occupational Limits. Perhaps more than 120 million workers are exposed to harmful welding-related fumes, so removing Hexavalent Chromium (CrVI) is an engineering, chemistry and safety coup.
One Modular Torch Covers Multitude of Needs
Fronius’ welding torches for manual Tungsten Inert Gas welding (TIG) can be customized to suit the welder’s personal preferences as well as the welding task at hand. Their modular design offers a range of sustainable and cost-effective options.
Lifting Beam Designed for Low Headroom
The HSDLB Standard Duty Lifting Beam from Harrington Hoists, Inc. offers capacities from half-ton to 40 tons. Users can make load adjustments with three standard lift points, and a pair of heavy-duty swivel hooks are included.
Rougher/Finisher Combo Is Up To 300% More Efficient Than Drill/Reamer Combinations
Unlike boring tools that involve time-consuming benchwork and complicated measuring for proper part repositioning, Seco Tool’s JC898 rougher and JC899 hybrid stacker simplify CFRP-titanium and CFRP-aluminum hybrid material holemaking and milling operations by eliminating post-machining work.
Four Settings for High, Consistent Clamping Force
Samchully power vises feature a mechanical multiplier booster system to provide high force with minimal input at the handle. Set the clamping force with the one-touch preset dial and the key stops turning when desired torque is reached.
Zero-Point Clamping Clamps Down on Idle Times
Rohm’s Easylock system offers repeatability of less than 5 µm. Its draw bolt system creates a precision interface between the receiver unit and pallet carrier, which can be fitted with vises, stationary lathe chucks, collet chucks and customized fixturing solutions.
Solid Carbide Drill with SGL-Point Geometry
Kennametal’s chip-friendly fluke design keeps stainless steel, nickel, and cobalt-based alloys from sticking to the cutting tool in aerospace and energy applications. The B21*SGL’s low thrust level enables productive drilling in delicate workpiece geometries.
