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:
How to Eliminate the Need for Spot Welding and Riveting
One simple, high-cycle punch and die operation automatically feeds, punches, inserts and locks the self-piercing FAS-NER from AKH to produce a solid joint in similar or dissimilar metals and thicknesses.
How to Get Smart with Fluid Application for Metal Forming
The SmartFlow controller from Unist provides advanced press control integration, fluid usage tracking, process monitoring, and enhanced diagnostic and maintenance tools to keep the press line running productively with the right amount of lubrication.
New Advances in Servo Press Stamping Operations
Exclusive Allen-Bradley-based servo press controls combine with the new DSF-C1(A) series direct-drive gap frame servo press from AIDA-America to maximize stamping productivity and profit in the press room.
Press Automation and Data Collection
ShopFloorConnect V6 software and the SmartPAC PRO press automation controller from Wintriss Controls enables networked users to share the entire contents of each programmed setup on a single screen in an Industry 4.0 environment.
Single Source Capabilities for Die Design Through Manufacturing
Tooling Tech Group is a single source supplier of everything from die design, simulation and engineering through to die build, repair, try-out and production stampings.
Material and Scrap Management to Optimize Fabrication Operations
The Shuffle Drive Conveyor from Mayfran provides smooth operation, zero vibration, minimal maintenance and superior reliability in the most demanding stamping, laser/plasma cutting, forging and die-casting operations.
Economical Process Monitoring of Metal Forming and Stamping Operations
The intelligent Brankamp X3S real-time process monitoring system from Marposs immediately identifies manufacturing faults and part or tool variations to optimize machine efficiency, improve part quality, and limit unplanned downtime and tooling costs.
Roll Coater Lubrication for Tough Stamping Environments
The extremely rugged Minicoater roll coater lubrication system from LSP Industries dispenses precise amounts of fluids through a unique built-in manifold system when the press cycles for partial strip lubrication and top and/or bottom-only lubrication.
Spring Force Wedge Clamps Allow Clamping Without Permanent Hydraulics
Hilma self-locking wedge clamps from Carr Lane Roemheld are powered by spring force that is ideal for clamping dies with a straight clamping edge, for metal stamping die change or plastic mold change.
Next Steps in Servo-Hydraulic Press Design
A new servo-hydraulic press from Greenerd Press automatically sets itself up after the operator selects the press operation with simple, icon-based cycle profiles. Custom press cycles are stored in over 1,000 different recipes and recalled instantly with a bar code reader.
When Your Equipment Absolutely, Positively Has to Be There Now
The Express Delivery Equipment from COE Press Equipment includes machinery in varying sizes for customers who need equipment immediately to keep their operations running smoothly.
Smart Servo-Electric and Sheet Hydroforming Press Technologies
The EVOx servo-electric press and Triform deep draw sheet hydroforming press from Beckwood Press feature intuitive controls, recipe handling, data acquisition for part traceability, remote field support and IoT connectivity for maximum uptime and predictability.
