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:
Precise Laser Marking of Parts Without Fixtures
Laser marking stations from FOBA use vision-based technology with an integrated camera to reproduce a mosaic-like tiling of the entire marking field, including the displayed parts to be marked, which are then laser-aligned and laser-marked with high precision without using expensive fixture devices.
Mechanized Plasma Beveling and Connected Plasma Cutting Systems
The next generation DMX Automated Plasma Beveller from ESAB connects to iSeries high precision plasma systems that can tilt the torch at greater angles and move it closer to the plate for optimum arc lengths without collisions.
Variable Beam Fiber Laser Cuts Thick and Thin Gauge Metal on One System
With a single Corona laser from Cincinnati Incorporated, users can rapidly select from high intensity, small-spot-size beams to large, donut-shaped beams and everything in between on the fly and in real-time to optimize thick and thin gauge metal cutting at higher speed and quality with the same laser system.
Affordable Next Generation Fiber Laser Cuts Up to 4X Faster than CO2 or Plasma
For high speed laser cutting of parts in the most simple, quickest and cost effective manner possible at an affordable price, the next generation BySmart Fiber machine from Bystronic delivers high parts output and excellent cutting quality across thin-to-medium sheet metal thicknesses.
No Touch, Just Inspect and Go
Every time a part is touched adds cost to it. To reduce costs, improve the measurement process and optimize cycle time, here are some of the newest metrology systems, controls and tools that enable shops to inspect parts and tools and monitor machines without any unloading, reloading, repositioning or transfer of parts to a measurement station or lab.
How to Remove Chips Off the Old Block
Are you struggling to remove those long, stringy, birds-nest chips generated by high speed turning and milling? Here are some of the latest conveyor separation systems that safely and reliably move chips, turnings, small parts and stampings.
Predictive Maintenance Waterjet Pumps and High Definition Plasma Cutting
HyPrecision predictive maintenance pumps from Hypertherm are a first for the waterjet industry, and their new XPR170 is one of only two X-Definition capable plasma cutting systems in the world.
Metal-Cored Wire Improves Throughput and Weld Quality
FabCOR Edge metal-cored wire from Hobart improves deposition rates and travel speeds with lower spatter levels to reduce cleanup time in robotic and mechanized welding, heavy equipment manufacturing and welding non-alloyed and fine grain steels.
Visual Inspection of Root Pass Weld Bead Inside a Welded Pipe
Serimax uses Xiris visual inspection and laser measurement technology in the orbital welding of offshore oil and gas pipes.
Low Manganese Stick Electrodes Decreases Vapor Emissions
New low manganese electrodes from Weldcote Metals use a unique flux composition to reduce up to 60 percent less emissions compared to current electrodes available.
Battery-Powered Welding System Fits on Your Back
Battery technology that is powerful enough for useful and functional structural steel welding has not been available – until now, with the Tactical Welder from UltraTech.
Polarity Reversing Saves Pipe Welding Time and Money on the Jobsite
Using Quick-Select technology that automatically selects correct polarity, lead outputs and weld parameters, the new XMT 350 FieldPro system with Polarity Reversing from Miller Electric eliminates the need to manually swap leads between welding processes.
