FABTECH 2017: Tube & Pipe
The 2017 edition of FABTECH is on track to be one of the largest tube and pipe fabrication events ever at McCormick Place in Chicago, and our special coverage provides technical reviews of some of the machinery and services that will be exhibited to help you navigate the show floor and manage your time while you’re there.
Remove VOC Emissions from Coating/Finishing Operations
Zeol Rotor Concentrator Systems from Munters use a patented Honeycombe rotor to create a highly cost-effective adsorption system that is ideal for cost effective abatement of volatile organic compounds from coating/paint finishing and other manufacturing operations.
The Latest Robot Powder Coating Application Gun Technology
For high quality robot applications, the RobotGun GM03-R system from GEMA can easily manage complex coating requirements with a high degree of automation and is equipped with a high voltage cascade that ensures outstanding and very precise coating results.
Ultra-Fast Coating Thickness Testing and Handheld Gloss Measurement
To measure coating thickness on either ferrous or non-ferrous metals metals, Elcometer offers three Ultra/Scan probes as options for their 456 Coating Thickness Gauge. They also offer handheld Elcometer 480 single, dual and triple angle glossmeters.
Smaller Tube Machining Quantities, Lots of Automation
An automated production cell from Transfluid can produce small quantities of complex pipe configurations by using an integrated axial forming machine to create geometries or hose connections and a second forming machine for flanges that are necessary on some components.
Custom Pipe Bending, Laser Tube Cutting and Fabrication Services
To meet the challenges of many industries and OEMs with tube bending and laser cutting needs, Sharpe Products can produce high quality parts up to 6 in OD, including large and multi-radii requests, that decrease costs with reduced set-up times and minimal scrap.
Powerhouse Tube Bending for High Production Shops
The Model 2650 Fabrication Tube and Pipe Bender from Huth Ben Pearson is ideal for volume production of structures like carports and agricultural buildings, fences, frames for trailers, racks and guards, and their Model 1673 Expander-Reducer-Swager machine can form slip joints, flares/flat flares, ball joints, deep swage expansions and reductions.
Hydraulic Plate Roll Bending Machines
Marcovil Stölting 3-Roll and 4-Roll hydraulic plate roll bending machines from CML USA have thickness capacities up to 6 in and length capacity from 19.5 in to 236 in.
Highly Efficient and Productive Tube Fabrication Systems
Advanced systems from BLM Group include their new LT8.10 3 kW fiber laser tube cutting machine for precise laser cutting on a variety of materials for tube diameters up to 9.5 in, the tube bending machines SMART, ELECT 102 and E-TURN 52, and their BLMelements software suite.
How to Answer the Most Aggressive Stock Removal and Blending Challenges
Extra heavy-duty Norton Rapid Prep XHD Coarse and Medium Discs from Norton | Saint-Gobain Abrasives significantly save labor and consumable costs by reducing application steps and removing weld lines, weld splatter, weld discoloration and blend surfaces in a single step.
High Performance All-Electric Tube and Pipe Bending Machines
The all-electric CNC 100 E TB MR tube bending machine from Schwarze-Robitec can manufacture serial production of pipe systems up to 35 percent faster and more efficiently than ever, using a Quick Tool Unlock rapid clamping system to reduce downtime and increase productivity with fast, easy changes of tooling.
Move Abrasive, Oily Ferrous Chips and Parts with No Jammed Belts or Clean-Out Maintenance
MagSlide Beltless Chip and Parts Conveyors from Bunting Magnetics use ceramic or rare earth magnets hidden beneath a stainless steel slider bed to move metal along the surface. There are no external conveyor belts to jam, tear or wear out, or external moving parts to fail, compromising safety and productivity.
