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:
Irregular-Shape Drilling of Spherical and Curved Automotive Parts
For multi-cavity fine hole drilling on materials such as hard alloy steels to powder metallurgy materials, the Ocean Tech River 600 5-axis CNC EDM drill from Methods Machine Tools significantly reduces wear, with shorter burn times and reduced energy consumption.
High Speed Mag Drill Increases Tool Life for Carbide Cutters
Carbide tooling is more effective at drilling holes when turned at a higher rpm – and the HMD906 portable high speed magnetic drill from Hougen does exactly that: its high torque, high rpm, two-speed motor cuts holes more efficiently with carbide than standard mag drills.
Universal Cordless Magnetic Base Drill for Steel and Other Metal Construction
With a drilling capacity up to 1-3/8 in diameter and 2 in drilling depth, the Slugger by Fein from Fein Power Tools is the lightest universal cordless compact magnetic base drill in its class.
Universal Drill with Enhanced Multi-Purpose Geometry
For high volume holemaking in steels, stainless steels and cast irons, the versatile solid carbide Universal Drill from Niagara Cutter provides reliable, predictable tool life and the lowest cost per hole.
Remote Monitoring of All Open Arc Welding Processes
The rugged XVC-1000e weld camera from Xiris monitors MIG/MAG, TIG, plasma, laser or stick welding in exceptional detail from up to 100 m away.
Compact, Highly Repeatable Radio Probe for Small 5-Axis Machine Tools
The ultra-compact RMP400 strain gauge probe from Renishaw delivers reliable, precise touch-trigger part setting, feature measurement and machine performance checking.
Compact Precision Laser Measurement Sensor for Real-World Targets
For precise part inspection, assembly and accuracy checks, dimensional control, product position control, correct product placement, thickness measurement and more, the LM Series laser measurement sensor from Banner Engineering works best in conditions that can cause measurement error.
Radio Transmission Scanning Probe for Real-Time On-Machine Part Measurement
The WRSP60 high accuracy scanning probe from Marposs checks part profiles, misalignment, surface deformation, runout and more directly on machining centers and milling machines in real-time without any handling to improve the process and optimize cycle time.
In-Line Measurement of Mid-To-Large Sized Parts
The versatile 360 deg FMC-Tracker flexible measurement cell from Hexagon delivers a new level of automated measurement productivity that can easily scale to the appropriate size for any workpiece and measure multiple parts in production.
In-Process Tool Measurement in Machine Tools
The LC50-DIGILOG laser measuring system from Blum-Novotest shortens tool measurement and testing times up to 60 percent using an optimized beam shape and 30 percent smaller focus diameter for better absolute accuracy.
Maintenance Free Motor Brakes for Conveyors with Frequent Start/Stops
The MagnaShear motor brake from Force Control Industries is ideal for demanding applications like loader/unloader conveyors, rail car spotters and dumpers, ship and rail car loading conveyors, trippers and pallet return conveyors, as well as cranes, hoists, lifts and more.
Conveyor Manages Stringy and Birds-Nest Chips from Turning and Milling Operations
Designed to fit into most CNC lathes and machining centers with little or no effect on the space required, the MunchMan II Conveyor from Jorgensen eliminates costly machine downtime with very effective chip and scrap removal.
