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:
Lube-Free Roller Chain for Operations Where Lubrication is Not Possible
The Lube-free Lambda Chain from U.S. Tsubaki Power Transmission uses NSF-H1 high temperature, food-grade lubricant impregnated into the bushings for improved chain performance and extended wear life.
Laser Welding that Forgives Imperfections
FusionLine technology in the new TruLaser Weld 5000 laser welding cell from TRUMPF overcomes part imperfections when welding by closing gaps up to 0.04 in wide, with welding seam results and process times that significantly outperform conventional welding techniques.
Fully Automatic Multi-Gun Resistance Welder
This multi-gun resistance welding cell from Taylor-Winfield joins and assembles multiple components in one operation and can complete 20 different spot welds within five seconds, with minimum operator interaction.
Automated Seam Welding of Trailer Tanks and More
Ideal for trailer tank fabricators, Jetline LWI Internal Longitudinal Seam Welders from Miller Electric weld flat sheets or tanks with diameters larger than 55 in and lengths up to 300 in.
Unattended Die Sinking EDM Machines Ratchet up Efficiency
Eliminating the need for an operator to adjust the generator’s parameters, a TECFORM module ensures that the FORM P 350 die sinking EDM machine from GF Machining Solutions continuously optimizes each pulse to significantly reduce electrode wear or obtain the finest finishes on parts.
Systems for Medium- and Heavy-Duty Industrial Welding
Aristo industrial welding systems from ESAB combine new and improved components in 21 ready-to-weld packages that increase quality and lower the cost of operation in welding aluminum, stainless and carbon steel.
Cut Machining Time on Aluminum Parts in Half
The versatile DZ08 FX Precision+ from CHIRON America uses contact-free linear direct drives in the X/Y/Z axes to bring the spindles to optimum feed rates faster and permit increased traverse rates so that aluminum parts can be machined up to 50 percent faster.
Mill/Turn Center for Complete Machining of Complex Parts
With a capacity of 38 tools, the Quicktech T8 Hybrid 9-axis twin spindle mill/turn center from Absolute Machine Tools combines a 3-axis power turret and a 360 deg B-axis with a sub-spindle that features a 4-axis gang slide to enable complete machining of complex parts.
High Machining Accuracy, Exceptional Surfaces Finishes on Heavy Loads
The Feeler U-800 5-axis gantry-style machining center from Methods Machine Tools has an advanced U-shaped base and column that increase structural rigidity and allow easy loading and unloading of large parts.
Horizontal Machining of Transmission Cases and Very Large Parts
Equipped with a pallet changer with a maximum load of 750 kg, the HF 5500 5-axis horizontal machining center from Heller Machine Tools performs dynamic 5-sided and simultaneous 5-axis machining of parts in a work envelope of 900 mm x 950 mm x 900 mm.
Automated 5-Axis Vertical Machining of Automotive Components and More
Equipped with 90 tools and a Universal Robot Interface to maximize automation, the four-pallet MX-520 PC4 5-axis vertical machining center from Matsuura Machinery maintains high rigidity with a generous machining envelope and an assortment of configurations that are ideal for all applications and materials.
Flexible, Expandable CNC for Machining Automotive Parts
Ideal for turning centers, machining centers, lathes and mills, the M80W CNC from Mitsubishi Electric Automation features a 19 in touch screen display separate from the control unit and a dedicated CPU for improved cycles times, faster program processing, and more accurate machining.
