Filter by Process Zone:
How to Finish High Precision Steel or Brass Worms Four Times Faster than Worm Hobbing
The AF110 plus 7-axis CNC gear hobbing machine from Affolter Technologies uses innovative Worm Screw Power Skiving technology to finish a high precision steel or brass worm in only six seconds – four times faster than traditional worm hobbing, which takes 25 seconds.
Mill/Turn Centers with Integrated Robotic Part Handling
Quicktech i-42 ROBO and i-60 ROBO 4-axis mill/turn centers from Absolute Machine Tools feature integrated 6-axis Mitsubishi robots for fast, automated loading and unloading of medium diameter bar stock.
How to Simplify CAM Programming of Parts Designed in Solidworks
GibbsCAM 12 software from 3D Systems is a single application with a single user interface for efficient programming of all CNC machines, whether the user needs to machine simple or complex parts or use simple or complex machines.
Touchscreen Technology for Quick, Intuitive Contouring Control and Connected Machining
The TNC 620 contouring control from Heidenhain is operated by gestures and brief swipes, similar to smartphones or tablet PCs, to navigate quickly and intuitively through long lists, programs, tables and other content.
How to Monitor Air Quality and Prevent Exposing Welders to Hazardous Substances
The extremely sensitive AirWatch device from Kemper draws in ambient air with an integrated fan and monitors air quality constantly within a radius up to 30 m using a laser-powered sensor.
Zero Color Oxide Free Welds for Manual Welders
To shield titanium, stainless steel and other corrosion resistant materials with an inert gas while welding, a standard radiused HFT Trailing Shield from COB Industries is for manual welding of small diameter tube, while special and standard flat HFT Trailing Shields are suited for welding sheet metal or other flat applications.
Single Operator, Semi-Automated, and Fully Automated Resistance Welding, Laser Welding and More
The 24-page color Integrated Systems Brochure from Amada Miyachi America details their in-house system design and manufacturing capabilities of resistance welding and laser welding systems, as well as marking, cutting, and micro machining equipment and systems.
How to Get Higher Welding Output from a Smaller Area
The IRB 2600ID robot from ABB Robotics achieves maximum acceleration at all times without restriction to significantly reduce total welding cycle times and increase reliability.
Powerful Stick Welders Offer Portability and Best-of-Class Dependability
Thunderbolt 160 and Thunderbolt 210 stick welding power sources from Miller Electric are easier to carry and store and can weld thicker materials – up to 5/32 in mild steel – for a variety of light industrial applications.
Robotic Water-Cooled MIG Guns Offer Lower Total Cost of Ownership
In addition to zero gas loss, Tregaskiss by DINSE CWD and TWD Robotic Water-Cooled MIG Guns from Tregaskiss deliver superior cooling power for longer gun and consumable life in a variety of amperages ranging from 350 amps to 600 amps at 100 percent duty cycle.
Aluminum Pistol-Grip, Push-Pull Welding Gun
The Magnum PRO from Lincoln Electric fits in either hand, reduces downtime and increases productivity in aluminum push-pull welding operations with superior push-pull wire feeding technology that reduces friction for smooth feeding and minimal wire damage.
Blast Wheel for Heavy Duty Foundry Jobs
The next-generation EZX blast wheel from Wheelabrator can be used for and retrofitted on tumblast, table, hanger-type, horizontal belt, plate, and wire mesh belt machines.
