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:
Science and Innovation in Grinding Systems
Using an internally-mounted FANUC robot to load/unload, the Novamatic 2G M 10/80 B CNC internal grinding machine from Meccanica Nova is perfect for grinding multiple bores of automotive engine components in a single work part clamping.
State-of-the-Art Double-Disc Grinding
This new double-disc grinder from GCH Machinery accommodates automatic, semi-automatic or manual loading and features an upgraded servo infeed slide, linear rails, an automatic lubrication system and user-friendly controls.
Ultrafast Rotary Grinding Finishes that Reduce or Eliminate Lapping Operations
The IG 480 SD Rotary Table Grinder from DCM removes stock up to 10X faster and has a fully enclosed grinding envelope, integral mist collection and coolant filtration that provides clean, consistent grinding operations.
Safe and Powerful Magnetic Lifters Reduce Material Handling Costs
The hand-controlled MagLift permanent magnetic lifter from Bunting Magnetics safely moves three times its weight and their MagSlide Beltless Chip and Parts Conveyor transports dirty, oily parts as well as sharp, jagged scrap and other abrasive materials with almost no maintenance costs.
CBN Abrasive and Small Diameter Abrasive Nylon Disc Brushes
For difficult-to-finish materials such as Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, Hasteloy, Invar, Rene and high nickel alloy steels, small 50 mm, 60 mm and 80 mm diameter Nampower abrasive nylon disc brushes and CBN abrasive from Brush Research Manufacturing offer greater versatility into harder to reach areas, smaller applications and planetary head mountings.
An Alternative to Traditional Welding Helmets
The Weld-Mask 2 from Miller Electric allows access to tight spaces, protects the eyes and head, and provides the ability to wear a hard hat, reusable respirator and safety glasses for total protection and compliance.
Stainless Steel Air Jets Resist Corrosion & Heat
For reliable and efficient blowoff and cleaning in corrosive, high temperature or washdown environments up to 400 deg F, 303SS Air Jets from Exair replace open tubes and pipe nipples on parts cleaning, drying and cooling operations to produce up to 1.25 lb of force upon the target.
Up to the Task
Take a closer look at some of the newest systems that can increase NDT and inspection throughput and reduce operating costs for measuring complex parts, detecting the smallest cracks or other defects, and meeting the demanding standards of NADCAP, Boeing or Airbus.
Efficiently Manage Large 3D Point Clouds From 3D Scanners When Reverse Engineering
Tube measure and quick settings tooling dialog are two features new to the reverse engineering application for SolidWorks from HighRES, which includes a standalone Integrated Point Cloud module that doesn’t require a SolidWorks license to visualize points, hard probe or laser scan.
High-End NDT and Inspection of Composites, Tube Welds and More in Aerospace Work
For nondestructive testing of aerospace components, including high-critical turbine parts and more, the roof-mounted 7-axis XRHGantry X-ray system from VisiConsult uses digital technology to detect the smallest cracks or other defects inside each component for repair.
Affordable Eddy Current Instrument with Surface Array Capabilities for Aerospace Inspection
With an ergonomic design, long battery life and intuitive touchscreen to inspect more areas faster than ever without fatigue, Zetec’s MIZ-21C handheld eddy current instrument has surface array capabilities for fast, accurate inspections in demanding NDT applications in aerospace.
Quickly Measure or Reverse Engineer Aerospace Sheet Metal Parts
High speed InspecVision integrated 2D and 3D measurement systems from MC Machinery Systems can quickly measure or reverse engineer flat parts cut by lasers, plasma and waterjets, punched and some stamped parts, as well as hole size and position.
