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:
Safely Secure Oddly Shaped, Heavy Loads Fast
The 87-SA Yellow Jacket Orbital Stretch Wrapper from Muller effectively secures complex fabrications, metal parts and loose assemblies on a pallet with one worker in one minute – a job that typically takes two workers roughly ten minutes to wrap a similar load by hand.
Instant Data Transfer of Band Saw Blade Cutting Parameters to Machine
Saw operators can use the Individual Performance Cutting (IPC) custom band saw blades program from Simonds/WESPA to point, scan and transfer a complete, unique data set of machine-specific cutting parameters to the machine to begin cutting.
Versatile Pipeline Grinding Discs Minimize Downtime and Increase User Productivity
The expanded line of depressed-center grinding discs from Osborn includes pipeline grinding discs in Advanced Aluminum Oxide and Zirconia for fast cutting, heavy stock removal, long service life, application material versatility and smooth finish.
Combination Cutting/Grinding Wheels for Oil Rig and Pipeline Manufacturing
Norton Quantum3 Combination Wheels from Saint-Gobain Abrasives provide 50 percent longer life that significantly reduces the need for wheel changes, resulting in decreased production downtime, less operator fatigue and lower labor cost.
Replaceable Single Tip Drill for Small and Deep Hole Boring in Oil and Gas Applications
The BT-A Drill from Allied Machine & Engineering uses a laser clad bearing area for improved straightness and replaceable cutting edges to eliminate the need for resharpening.
How to Provide Uniform Pressure on Jaws for Consistent Bore in Oil and Gas Jobs
Jaw forming rings from Dillon are mounted in direct contact with the top jaw so that the jaw forming ring preloads the chucking system and grips the workpiece more firmly to maximize jaw life for cutting and forming operations, providing uniform pressure on all jaws for a consistent bore.
High-Feed Face Mill Speeds Up Productivity in Oil and Gas Work
Using a 25 deg entering angle for additional productivity gains when milling steel and cast-iron workpieces, the high-feed CoroMill 745 face milling cutter from Sandvik Coromant achieves higher metal removal rates in applications with depths of cut up to 0.110 in.
Vibration-Dampening Tooling for Large Diameter Work in Oil and Gas Applications
With its patented and versatile GL connection, the Steadyline vibration-dampening tooling system from Seco Tools features a polylobe taper-face interface for centering accuracy, 100 percent repeatability and fast tool head exchanges that allow shops to perform both static and rotating operations with the same bar.
Reduce Product Droppage and Lower Scrap Rates
The special grip pattern on DURAFLEX Friction Cups from Piab features a rough cleat surface and sharp cleat edges and channels that creates greater friction and a stronger hold compared to traditional traction suction cups.
Environmentally Friendly Pressroom Automation
For handling oily and wet surfaces in pressrooms, the GEN II Flex Spray Oiler system from Atlas Technologies provides a cleaner, safer and more cost efficient operation that doesn’t sacrifice quality.
Drill Press with Hybrid Mill Function
The 3MT Spindle and ER32 Collet System on the NOVA Vulcan Metal Working Drill Press from Teknatool combine for maximum holding flexibility, while its machine tool spindle-specified double-row angular contact bearings deliver rigidity for the side thrust pressures of milling.
Powerful Next Generation Vertical Grinders for Oil and Gas Applications
CP3330 and CP3340 series industrial vertical grinders from Chicago Pneumatic can remove material twice as fast when contouring, deburring, cutting, finishing and weld cleaning cast iron, steel, stainless steel, aluminum, composite, magnesium and titanium.
