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:
CBN Abrasive for Difficult-To-Finish Materials
To Flex-Hone difficult-to-finish materials such as high nickel alloy steels, Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, Hasteloy, Invar and Rene, cubic boron nitride abrasive from Brush Research combines the highest hardness with excellent toughness for optimum surface finishing.
Eliminate Stagnant Air in Every Corner of Your Shop
The Pivot 2.0 system from Big Ass Fans directs cool air up to 120 ft away into targeted spots with 73 airflow positions to bring comfort to hard-to-reach work areas so that shops get precisely the air movement they want, where they want it.
Automatic Band Saws and Circular Cold Saws for Single Piece Cuts and Mass Production
Behringer Saws offers their affordable, versatile and efficient HBE Dynamic automatic band saw and Eisele PSU-450M automatic miter circular cold saw that is ideally suited for both single piece cuts and mass production.
Pinch-Point Safety System for Resistance Welding
The Unitrol SOFT TOUCH Pinch-Point Safety System from Rockford Systems is the first and only fully passive safeguarding system that prevents a spot welder from applying full force if it detects fingers in the machine’s point-of-operation area.
Desktop Resistance Weld Checker
Ideal for monitoring and managing key welding variables in process development and production environments, the compact MM-400A desktop resistance weld checker from Amada Miyachi America supports AC, DC inverter, AC inverter, transistor and capacitive discharge resistance welding technologies.
Robot Dressed for Spot Welding
The fully integrated Spot Welding Function Package on the IRB 6700 robot from ABB Robotics features an electric servo gun with parallel arm movements managed by an IRC5 robot controller to guarantee process quality in a wide range of spot weld applications.
Fiber Laser Windows Reduce Focus Shift and Beam Deterioration
Ideally suited as debris shields for laser welding and cutting, Sapphire Fiber Cover Glass Windows from Laser Research Optics can withstand steel splatter, flash, and debris better than fused silica.
3D Simulation and Offline Programming for Laser Welding Systems
FASTSUITE Edition 2 software from CENIT creates virtual cells for TRUMPF, Amada and other automated laser welding systems for faster creation of fixtures for prototypes, shorter cycle times for production parts and less overall programming time.
A New Approach to Fiber Laser Welding
CleanWeld technology from Coherent delivers up to 80 percent spatter reduction with minimal cracking and porosity in diverse applications, including zero-gap welding of galvanized steel, automobile powertrain component welding, and aluminum and copper welding for electric car batteries.
Robotic Laser Welding and Cutting Meets Demands for High Accuracy
Pre-engineered with offline programming capabilities and tools for automatic TCP calibration, work objects and positioner base frames that match various part sizes, geometries and production volumes, the IRB 2400 robot from ABB Robotics laser welds and laser cuts using world-class motion control and path performance.
Laser Welding Cell Forgives Imperfections
Getting started with laser welding is now easier than ever before thanks to tolerant laser welding with FusionLine technology from TRUMPF that allows for the welding of components with gaps for even simpler operation.
Effective Cutting of Structurals and Bundles
Using triple-tempered, high speed M-42 cobalt steel teeth with an alloy steel backing strip, the Versatix MP bi-metal band saw blade from Starrett dissipates stress during cutting for less tooth breakage, longer blade life and minimized pinching when cutting structurals and bundles.
