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:
Dynamic Scrap Handling Increases Coil-Fed Laser Blanking Speed
Coil-fed laser blanking systems from LaserCoil rely on a series of dynamic profile conveyor lanes that independently adjust, reposition and automatically shed scrap to maintain a clear path for the cutting process.
Debris Shields for Fiber Laser Cutting
Reducing focus shift and deterioration of beam quality, Sapphire Fiber Laser Windows from Laser Research Optics shield debris on high power lasers from 4 kW up and withstand steel splatter and flash better than fused silica for extended life and fewer changes.
Automatic Garnet Feeding Increases Waterjet Cutting Productivity
The JET-FEED Garnet Delivery System from Flexicon automatically feeds garnet directly from bulk bags to waterjet cutters to eliminate worker fatigue, potential injury, labor, spillage, dust, downtime and higher material cost associated with manually dumping heavy bags.
How to Maximize Sorting Flexibility for Unloading Laser Cut Parts
The BySort add-on module unloads and sorts individual parts by job to expand the flexibility of the ByTrans Cross automation system for loading and unloading laser cutting systems from Bystronic.
Thin Sheet Metal Laser Cutting with Exceptional Accuracy
The high precision SRC-610 three-axis pulsed fiber laser system from Legend Laser can cut sheet metal with a thickness between 0.02 mm and 1 mm at speeds ranging from a few mm per second to a hundred mm per second.
High-Value Plasma Cutting Improves Cut Quality, Increases Production
Starting at $65,995, the I-Cut Plasma CNC Level 3 system from Laguna Tools utilizes the most advanced servo controls and laser alignment from Thermal Dynamics for production cutting up to 1.25 in.
High Precision Free-Form Waterjet Cutting
FiveX abrasive waterjets from Water Jet Sweden can perform five-axis 3D finishing of fabricated structures, pressed parts, molded composite parts and other 3D parts made of hardened steel, titanium, Kevlar and carbon fiber.
Smart Workhorse for Laser Cutting, Drilling and Welding Large Parts
The advanced controls and spacious gantry configuration of the five-axis LASERDYNE 890 fiber laser system from Prima Power Laserdyne helps set-up large, complex parts faster for more efficient high-value part processing.
Toolholder Optimizes Chip Removal
The TENDO Slim 4ax cool-flow toolholder from SCHUNK allows for highly effective cooling via tool mountings when machining of steel, aluminum, and plastic.
Robotic Welding: What Skilled Labor Crisis?
Take a closer look at how high mix/low volume shops are using automation to improve welding production, address capacity issues and reduce quality variability – all without adding labor.
Robotic Laser Welding and Brazing Eliminates Post-Processing Work
The robust, yet extremely fine, almost invisible seams produced by the ALO4 laser welding and brazing system with tactile seam tracking from Scansonic completely eliminates the need for post-processing in the visible area.
Versatile Pre-Engineered Robotic Welding Cells
Pre-engineered cells from Daihen can increase productivity and reduce operating costs when welding mild steel, aluminum and more.
