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:
Faster Inspection of Stamped, Molded or Machined Parts
Altera high-speed CMMs from LK Metrology are ideal for high-speed tactile probe scanning and laser scanner applications of performance-critical components for automotive, aerospace and other applications.
High Speed 2D Measurement of Large Complex Parts or Groups of Smaller Parts
The innovative Fusion 350 multi-sensor metrology system from QVI has a large field of view optical system that can instantly process and identify all features and dimensions within the field of view, with no need for a pre-programmed measurement routine.
Faster Inspections of Welds and Stress Corrosion Cracking
The MagnaFORM scanner from Olympus is a fast, reliable way to reduce the turnaround time of weld inspection and stress corrosion cracking inspections on the roughest welds and corroded surfaces, saving time and reducing inspection costs.
Double-Cut Carbide Burrs Increase Stock Removal in Stainless Steel, Steel, Cast Steel and Composites
For less changeovers on demanding production runs, Norton Double-Cut Carbide Burrs from Saint-Gobain Abrasives are ideal for efficiently removing surface stock and weld splatter, deburring and chamfering, and medium to light cleaning applications.
Do More with One Blade in a Wide Range of Trades
For metal cutting, deburring and light grinding of common metals and stainless steel, the METALMAX Type 27 Combo Wheel from LENOX delivers more than 1,000 cuts and 30X the life of comparable thin-bonded abrasive wheels.
How to Achieve Higher Productivity in Weld Cleanup
Five more TufBrush stringer bead brushes from Osborn provide superior material removal and product longevity in weld cleanup applications, including root and hot pass, surface preparation, deburring, pipe joining and other applications.
Flap Discs Provide Superior Stock Removal, Surface Finish and Service Life on Steel and Stainless Steel
The composite backing on POLIFAN PSF Z-TRIM flap discs from PFERD can be trimmed to extend service life and reduce time-consuming disc changes when surface grinding, weld grinding, blending, chamfering, and deburring steel and stainless steel.
Aluminum Grinding Reimagined
The Aluminator T27 cotton fiber grinding wheel from Rex-Cut Abrasives grinds aluminum fast and consistently without clogging and loading so that fabricators can grind and move on to the next step without stopping to clean the workpiece.
Flap and Quick Change Discs for Effective Grinding, Cutting and Other Applications
Metalworking abrasives from Weldcote include flap discs, quick change discs, Korner flap discs, resin fiber discs, flap wheels, cutting wheels, pipeline wheels and grinding wheels that are formulated for a wide variety of metals.
Cutting and Snagging Wheels for Metal Fabrication and Shipbuilding Work
To meet the increasing levels of cutting performance required in metal fabrication and shipbuilding applications, Weiler Abrasives added 38 small diameter cutting and snagging wheels for high-speed die grinders that provide longer life and faster cutting.
Air Tools Designed for Cobots
Outfitting a cobot from Universal Robots with a Dynabrade sander can automate and streamline repetitive or potentially unsafe processes to increase productivity, reduce injury and provide consistency of finish at all levels of production.
Go Where No Wheel has Gone Before
The innovative, three-dimensional coating on 3-in-1 Diamond Grinding Wheels from IPA allows back cutting, gully grinding and bead finishing in areas that other high-speed grinding wheels cannot access.
