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:
Heavy Duty Inert Atmosphere Furnace for Heat Treating Turbine Components
The heavy duty No. 1039 inert atmosphere furnace from Grieve reaches 2,000 deg F by using ICA wire coils supported by vacuum-formed ceramic fiber installed on all interior surfaces, including the door and beneath the hearth.
The Next Step in Precision Tube Bending
The Opt2Sim tube bending machine simulator from Unison accelerates the generation of error-free programs for bending tubular parts and includes powerful collision detection capabilities that can be used to avoid and verify a wider range of problem scenarios.
Bending Complex Geometries for Power Plants
The transfluid t bend DB 622 CNC R/L mandrel bending machine, the fully automatic t bend DB 2090 CNC VE machine, the t cut RTO 628 chipless orbital cutting system, and the REB 632/SRM 622 CNC combination machine from Advanced Fabricating Machinery fabricate pipe for meeting the highest loading requirements, including tight bending radii to ensure optimum surface area for thermal transfer.
Advanced Control for Bending Rolls, Plate Rolls and Specialty Machinery
The Swebend Seven CNC control from Trilogy Machinery takes the guesswork out of rolling operations by managing minor variations commonly found in all materials.
Corrosion Resistant Pipe Material for Power Generation Applications
Sanicro 60 (Alloy 625) from Sandvik is a corrosion resistant material grade offered in hydraulic and instrumentation tubing and heat exchanger forms for harsh environments.
Grit Blaster for Batch Processing Gas Turbine Blades
The custom SP-10 semi-automatic grit blast system from Guyson completely blasts and batch processes gas turbine blades in one operation by using six guns mounted to a gun oscillator that moves at a programmed rpm that is adjustable on the HMI.
Pipe Fabrication Tools for Boiler Tubes, Steam Turbines and More
The MILLHOG BSR bolt seat resurfacing tool, MILLHOG Mini Electric Pipe Beveling Tool, and MILLHOG Rolling Motors and Tube Expanders from ESCO Tool ensure cost effective fabrication of stainless steel pipe and other highly alloyed metals.
Automated Pipe Moving Logistics Combines with Highly Accurate Cutting
The SPC 1200 RB pipe cutting and 3D profiling machine from HGG eliminates cranes for material handling and ensures accurate, repeatable, on-the-fly measurement and compensation of longitudinal material movement during pipe rotation.
Real Time Monitoring of High Power Laser Microwelding of Medical Devices
Critical for medical device microwelding that requires a focused spot of light with a well-defined, narrow, and reproducible bandwidth and intensity profile, the Ophir Focal Spot Analyzer from MKS Instruments is so accurate that the distance to the camera array is NIST-traceable.
Touch and Go
Every time workers have to touch a load of material, labor costs are added to it. Here is some of the latest material handling equipment that can help shops get a better handle on profitability by reducing the number of touches required to move material on the floor.
Portable Electric Scissor Lifts for Ergonomic Lifting Wherever Needed
Electric Hydraulic or Manually Operated Portable Scissor Lifts from Verti-Lift provide the flexibility of a scissor lift with the portability of an adjustable work platform to enhance ergonomics.
Pallet Jack-Compatible Orbital Wrapper Eases Truck Loading/Unloading
The TAB Wrapper Tornado from TAB Industries is a semi-automated, orbital wrapper that secures loads to their pallets to create a unitized load that improves product protection, safety and stability in transport and storage.
