Filter by Process Zone:
Large Turbine Engine Component Machining for Power Generation
Equipped with a 2-axis rotary table for enhanced workpiece positioning, the EDBV8 fast hole EDM drilling machine from Makino provides blade and vane manufacturers with the flexibility to accommodate a wider range of part sizes for any high volume fast hole EDM drilling application.
Multi-Axis Welding Positioners
Complete 3-axis, 4-axis, or 5-axis welding positioners from LazerArc provide superior accuracy, index time and flexibility by utilizing one of two mechanical drive systems, depending on user requirements.
Wire and Flux Selection Guide for Submerged Arc Welding Applications
The Submerged Arc Welding guide from Hobart Brothers simplifies the selection of wires and flux for submerged arc welding, with features and benefits of each wire and recommendations for pairing the appropriate flux, along with suggested operating parameters for gaining optimal results.
Welding Helmet with Lens Technology for Multiple Welding Jobs in Power Generation Work
The VIKING PAPR 3350 Welding Helmet from Lincoln Electric has an optional extended battery pack and 4C lens technology that gives operators a clear and undistorted view of the welding arc and puddle to maximize control and minimize defects.
Air Gun with Variable Flow from the Squeeze of a Trigger
Small and lightweight cast aluminum VariBlast Compact Safety Air Guns from EXAIR can produce up to one pound of force, which is great for light to medium duty applications.
Purging and Monitoring Systems for Welding Pipework in Power Stations
COB Industries offers the HFT HotPurge system with glass treated silicone cloth that resist temperatures up to 1,400 deg F, and the lightweight, portable HFT PurgEye 300 Plus gas analyzer that measures oxygen levels down to 1 ppm.
Stick and TIG Welding of Pipe and Plate in Power Plant Construction
Available with an optional digital weld meter, the CST 280 stick and TIG welding power source from Miller Electric offers more precise control when presetting or monitoring welding amperage.
Portable All-Electric Press Brake for Versatile Forming of Basic and Complex Shapes
The versatile all-electric GOFORM 40 ton press brake from Cincinnati Incorporated is perfect for small parts up to 0.25 in thick and less than 50 lb, but also has a 10 in stroke and 17 in open height for jobs requiring tall tools and adapters.
Press System with In-Die Laser Welding Eliminates Time-Intensive Labor
The laser welding, parts assembly and cut-off operations inside the pneumatic stamping press system with in-die laser welding capability from Airam eliminate time-intensive labor, improve repeatability and reduce material handling without sacrificing production speed.
Fiber Laser System Machines 3D Parts
The five-axis LT-FREE fiber laser machine from BLM performs traditional cutting, drilling, punching and milling operations that are normally carried out in sequence on separate machine tools.
Superior Bending with Unparalleled Productivity
The TruBend Series 5000 press brake from TRUMPF is equipped with a ToolMaster for automatic tool changes in seconds and achieves unparalleled productivity by combining high axis speeds and acceleration rates with innovative operating aids.
Cost Effective Brazing of Light, Thin Section Parts Used in Power Generation
The horizontal-loading MetalMaster vacuum furnace with 2-bar gas quenching from Ipsen features a 36 in x 36 in x 72 in graphite work zone with a carbon steel gas distribution plenum and graphite heating elements, as well as a 3,000 lb load capacity.
