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:
Deep Draw Hydraulic Press System Run by Robots
To perform the multiple operations required to produce a heavy duty high pressure cylinder tank, a 750 ton deep draw hydraulic press from Greenerd Press uses a double-moving platen that is fully integrated with two 6-Axis FANUC robots that load/unload parts and prompt the press to cycle for operations.
High and Low Capacity Die Carts and Work Stands
The Mini-Titan low capacity standard die cart line from Green Valley Manufacturing has a 250 lb to 2,000 lb capacity range, and their newly designed work stands from the ever-expanding Heavy Duty Titan Industrial Work Horse line has capacities of 500 lb per pair to 100,000 lb per pair.
No More Rework or Cleaning of Parts Due to Corrosion
Clear Pak BIO corrosion inhibitor (VCI) packaging film from Daubert Cromwell is flexible, puncture and tear resistant and uses proprietary, plant-based corrosion inhibitor chemistry to protect valuable metal components during storage and shipment.
Power Straightener for Processing High Yield Materials
The upgraded Series 250 power straightener from COE Press Equipment uses over 30 percent increased strength and rigidity to process Advanced High Strength Steel coil widths from 1.0 in to 54 in, thickness from .010 in to .187 in, and coil weights up to 20,000 lb.
Virtual Press Design Technology Takes Center Stage
Using virtual press design technology via a user-friendly interface, customers can work with Beckwood Press engineers to input a variety of variables (bed size, tonnage, speed, heat parameters, etc.) and generate a preliminary sketch of new machinery that meets their specific application requirements.
Automated Storage & Retrieval Systems for Efficient Handling of Heavy Dies
Ideal for press rooms with limited space that continuously move a high volume of heavy dies in and out of storage, automated systems from Atlas Technologies are fully programmable and interface with other handling equipment to create a custom storage system that is specific to a facility’s needs.
Robotic Workcells for Low to Medium Runs of Small, Medium and Large Parts
The modular ArcWorld 2000 workcell from Yaskawa America is specifically designed for the robotic welding of large parts, while the ArcWorld 200 and ArcWorld 500 welding systems are versatile workhorses for small- to medium-sized parts or medium-volume production runs.
Abrasives for Weld Preparation, Cutting, Grinding and Cleaning
The latest abrasives, resin fiber discs, flap discs and more from Weiler Abrasives provide exceptional performance in weld preparation and cleaning of difficult to cut and grind materials, like aluminum and stainless steel.
Reduce Slag Buildup with Long-Lasting Protection for Laser and Plasma Cutting Tables
E-Weld Plasma from Walter Surface Technologies is a ceramic, water-based, anti-spatter solution that is applied to laser and plasma cutting tables to reduce slag build-up and provide long-lasting protection – even under extreme heat – by inhibiting the adherence of slag.
FABTECH 2017: Welding
The 2017 edition of FABTECH is on track to be one of the largest welding events ever at McCormick Place in Chicago, and our special coverage provides technical reviews of some of the welding systems and accessories that will be exhibited to help you navigate the show floor and manage your time while you’re there.
FABTECH 2017: Welding (Part Two)
The 2017 edition of FABTECH is on track to be one of the largest welding events ever at McCormick Place in Chicago, and our special coverage provides technical reviews of some of the welding systems and accessories that will be exhibited to help you navigate the show floor and manage your time while you’re there.
First MIG Welding System in the U.S. for Collaborative Robots
Ideal for low volume/high mix fabrication shops, the Collaborative Robot Welding Package developed by ARC Specialties and Universal Robots is a cobot-assisted, interactive welding system that can be deployed easily and flexibly in existing manual welding booths, eliminating the need for costly new robotic cells.
