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:
Better Tooling, More Precision
Demands for higher precision machining can’t be met without more accurate tooling. Here are some of the latest systems that can measure tooling more efficiently and effectively.
Hydro Lubricant Combines High Performance and Sustainability
For high speed spur, bevel and planetary gears, Klübersustain GW 0-460 gear lubricant from Klüber Lubrication uses water as a functional component in a specialty formulation to solve demanding performance, energy and environmental challenges.
Measure Fluted Cutting Tools with Absolute Accuracy, Reliability and Repeatability
For machine shops facing tighter tolerances and pressure to turn out precision parts more efficiently, the Z-Mike Pro gauge from NDC provides precision over the entire measurement range with no recalibration, no need to center the object to be measured, and measurements that are traceable to national standards.
Creating an Industry 4.0 Supply Chain for Sheet Metal Fabricators
Manufacturers with an existing ERP or sales order processing system can transfer data into and out of cloud-based software from Lantek or expand their system using Lantek software for quotation and CRM capabilities, highly accurate costings, Expert CADCAM intelligence, stock management, documentation and invoicing, and control of multi-site operations.
Streamlining the Internal Supply Chain for Job Shops
Small and mid-sized make-to-order manufacturers can use KeyedIn Manufacturing 5.06 for ERP to further streamline key business processes, maximize their limited resources and be well-positioned for growth.
A New Manufacturer-Dealer Business Model Optimizes the Supply Chain
The Dealer Network Portal from Epicor allows manufacturers who sell or service products through dealers to more easily quote orders, manage sales, track inventories, manage warranties and recalls, provide dealer self-service to their account history from their ERP system, and enable customers to automate and streamline their dealer activity.
Innovative Online Tool Shortens the Supply Chain for Used Machine Tools
Just like pricing a used car on Kelley Blue Book, machine shops can quickly and easily determine the market value of their used equipment for free with the Price Guide Tool from CNC Machines.
Advanced Optical Comparator with Touchscreen Geometric Display
The M2 2D processor on the PH-A14 comparator from Mitutoyo features a touchscreen geometric measurement display that generates distances and tangent lines from within the graphical part view and geometric tolerancing to measure features, set nominals, apply tolerances and view deviation results with only a few quick clicks.
How to Easily Inspect Machine Spindle Tapers
To ensure that high precision machining is taking place at all times, the Dyna Contact ceramic taper gage from BIG KAISER is used to check the geometric accuracy of a machine spindle taper by visually comparing the contact of the gage to the spindle.
Ultrafast Heavy Cutting of Difficult Superalloys
The HARVI Ultra 8X helical milling cutter from Kennametal can plow through difficult aerospace superalloys for nearly three minutes straight without flinching to deliver outstanding results and extended tool life at increased speeds and feeds.
Large Part Machining of Hard Alloys and Titanium
The UA2090Ti 5-axis VMC from JTEKT Toyoda has a two-axis tilting head, high-torque A and B axes with gear-driven design, and hybrid box and linear guideway construction that are ideal for large part machining of titanium and hard alloy components.
Five-Axis, Five-Sided Machining of Complex, Hard Metal Parts
For demanding aerospace, oil and gas, and other applications that require precision machining of hard metals from steel to titanium, the Cincinnati HMC 800 from Fives delivers accuracy, rigidity and reliability by combining high spindle torque and power with superior dynamic machine stiffness.
