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:
Economic Precision Cutting of Large Metal Sheets and Plates
The Bystar L 4025 laser cutting machine from Bystronic uses a 6 kW resonator to easily and economically cut large format sheets up to 8 ft wide, 39 ft long and one inch thick with exceptional precision.
A New Generation of 3D Laser Tube Cutting
Using loading and unloading systems that automatically adapt to accommodate short and long parts and a 3 kW fiber laser that cuts up to 6 in round, square, rectangular, special and open profiles, the LT7 Lasertube system from BLM Group reconfigures itself for the next order at the end of each production batch.
Portable Pipe Beveling Tools with ID or OD Clamping
The self-centering Tube Weasel right angle ID clamping tool and the C-Hog OD clamping tool from ESCO use pneumatic, electric or battery power for rigid mounting and torque-free operation of TiN-coated cutter blades with radical chip breakers that transfer heat away from the surface.
Innovative Vertical Lathe for Machining Large, Odd-Shaped Parts for Construction Jobs
To accommodate large, odd-shaped parts used in construction work and aerospace applications, the two-axis V920EX one-saddle CNC vertical lathe from Okuma features a powerful turning spindle and a larger work envelope with a maximum turning diameter of Ø36.22 in and 33.86 in of swing over the saddle.
Robotic Turning and Milling/Drilling Cell for Construction Equipment
Fuji Machine combines their ANW-3500 fully automated twin spindle lathe with their fully automated HM-3400 milling machine, each with built-in robots, to create a turning and milling/drilling cell designed for heavy workloads.
Portable Cutting System for Steel Erection and Bridge Construction
The upgraded Arcair SLICE exothermic cutting system from ESAB has a more ergonomic torch grip and oxygen flow lever, with a better connection between the grip and the rubber shield that protects the operator’s hand from molten spray when piercing.
Transform Heavy Grinding Operations
ErgoFlex abrasive discs from Walter Surface Technologies are a safer, more ergonomic, equally powerful alternative to traditional wheels used for grinding welded steel and stainless steel, heavy grinding, weld removal, and beveling.
High Production, Precision Plasma Cutting of Construction Parts
Configured with a Hypertherm EDGE Connect CNC and high definition plasma system, and an oxy-fuel cutting torch, the KANO HD CNC plasma cutting machine from Park Industries is built on a unitized, precision machined, heavy duty steel base with cutting table styles and sizes available in 6 ft, 8 ft and 10 ft widths and 12 ft or 24 ft lengths.
18V Large Angle Grinder for Tough Heavy Steel Fabrication Jobs
Using a new brushless motor for speed and capacity without bogging down, the M18 Fuel 7 in/9 in Large Angle Grinder from Milwaukee Tool features exclusive electronics that ensure maximum tool performance under load without overload and overheat, and a battery that exceeds higher voltage systems.
Improve Welding Productivity, Safety and Quality on Construction Jobsites
Even hundreds of feet away from the power source, ArcReach technology with Cable Length Compensation and Adjust While Welding capabilities from Miller Electric can save up to two hours per welder per day on construction jobsites by ensuring the voltage set by welders is the same they get at the weld.
Tackle More Steel Fabrication Jobs with One Tool
Powered by a two-speed motor with a forward/reverse option for use when tapping holes, the HMD2MT portable magnetic drill from Hougen features a #2 Morse Taper arbor system for increased versatility.
Plate Bending Machine for Extremely High Yield Strength Materials
ESCO uses the SweBend PB4-18-6 plate roll machine from Trilogy Machinery to handle complex bending radii and deliver perfect results in a single pass to accurately bend thick Hardox plates.
