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:
Designer Jaws Increase Efficiency in Finish Machining
Combining overheight and angle cutting, UVB-HS soft chuck jaws from SCHUNK create a larger clamping surface for higher holding forces on the part that reduces deformations, increases process reliability and shortens the cycle time because the lathe chuck can be accelerated and braked faster.
Tooling that Increases Uptime in Metal Fabrication Operations
These punching, bending and laser fabrication tools from Mate can reduce setup times, shorten process times, improve safety and increase shop profitability in fabrication operations.
Efficient Precision Finishing of Parts
Used in a CNC machine tool or robot cell for precise deburring, edge filleting and surface finishing of milled, flat precision parts, Garant disc brushes from Hoffmann create smooth surfaces on workpieces produced from sintering, punching, die casting or pressing.
Make More Cuts with Less Blade Changes in Thick and Thin Metals
Combining enhanced high-speed steel with a variable TPI tooth design, Extreme Metal Band Saw Blades from Milwaukee Tool cut 2X faster and last 3X longer than standard blades in thick and thin metals, including cast iron.
Small Diameter Cutting and Snagging Wheels for High-Speed Die Grinders
New small diameter cutting and snagging wheels from Weiler Abrasives increase cutting performance for longer life and faster cutting in metal fabrication and shipbuilding applications.
Long-Lasting Double-Cut Carbide Burrs Increase Stock Removal
For high stock removal and smaller, granular chip-break on hard-to-grind stainless steel, steel, cast steel and composites, Norton Double-Cut Carbide Burrs from Saint-Gobain Abrasives are ideal for efficiently removing surface stock and weld splatter, deburring and chamfering applications with fewer changeovers.
How to Significantly Increase Metal Removal Rates on Cast Iron
Innovative tooth geometry on the high performance Cast Cut carbide bur from PFERD can increase metal removal rates by up to 100 percent in automotive, foundry, welding, and general industry applications.
Casting Light on First-Stage Aluminum Machining
To boost the first-stage roughing operation on newly-cast aluminum cylinder heads and engine blocks for the automotive industry, the M5Q90 tangential milling cutter from Sandvik Coromant completes ‘cubing’ (first machining of faces after casting) in a single operation without creating burrs.
Next Generation Honing of Engine Blocks, Liners and Parts
The SV-30 cylinder hone from Sunnen features automatic step-and-repeat capability for in-line and V-block engine configurations that produces ideal bore roundness and surface finish in a variety of part types and materials at an affordable price.
Machine Highly Complex Geometries with Fewer Setups and Less Operations
For large parts weighing up to 880 lb, the versatile a500Z 5-axis horizontal machining center from Makino maximizes both metal removal rates and perishable tool life through unparalleled system rigidity.
Cooling Oven Trucks of Steel Parts
The No. 807 cooling chamber from Grieve has a remote-mounted exhaust blower and aluminized steel construction.
Extreme Positioning Flexibility for Machining Complex Parts in a Single Setup
The highly versatile UMC-750P machining center from Haas quickly positions parts to nearly any angle for 5-sided (3+2) machining, full simultaneous 5-axis motion for contouring and complex machining, or more traditional tombstone machining like a HMC.
