Filter by Process Zone:
Close Monitoring of Multiple Points in Complex Gas Delivery Systems
The 575 Series System Monitor from CONCOA is ideal for a broad range of fully-configurable automatic switchovers and fail-safe gas delivery devices used in industrial gas applications.
How Cloud-Based Digital Cylinder Management Delivers Significant Cost Savings
ACCURA cylinder asset management from Linde Gases can deliver significant cost savings through the location and identification of missing or underused cylinders, improved stock inventory planning and reduced cylinder handling and administration.
Air Plasma Systems for Automated and Mechanized Cutting
A-Series air plasma systems from ESAB combine durability and performance in a compact, economical package that provides an 80 percent duty cycle at respective rated outputs of 40, 60, 80 and 120 amps.
Complete Mechanized Welding for Repetitive Operations Using Submerged and Open Arc Processes
The Pantheon Mechanized Welding System from Lincoln Electric fills the need for automated, repetitive welding operations for submerged and open arc processes in such industries as heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, power generation, construction and pressure vessel manufacturing.
Accessories Used to Protect Peripherals in Automated Welding
Several accessories are used to protect the TOUGH GUN TT3 Reamer from Tregaskiss that clears the front end of spatter to enhance productivity and improve weld quality in automated welding operations.
Infrared Temperature Sensor Easily Sets and Achieves Targeted Preheat Temperatures
The ProHeat rolling inductor heating system with optional Infrared Temperature Sensor from Miller Electric evenly distributes heat into the workpiece, eliminating inconsistencies and quality issues associated with open-flame torch heating methods.
The Quality Show
Here is a snapshot of some of the newest technology, equipment, and tools you’ll see at the only show focused exclusively on quality manufacturing, being held October 24-26 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL.
Sneak Preview: FABTECH 2017
The 2017 edition of FABTECH is on track to be one of the largest metal fabrication events ever at the McCormick Place in Chicago from November 6-9. This special sneak peek provides technical reviews of some of the machinery, tooling, systems and accessories that will be exhibited to help you get a head start on navigating the show floor and managing your time while you’re there.
Does Your Metal Pass the Test? Instant Metal Identification
The portable Watson II XRF analyzer from Tribogenics has a Silicon Drift Detector that allows fabricators to instantly verify metal composition and avoid using incorrect or out-of-specification alloys.
Scanning Probes Speed up Coating Thickness Testing
The 456 Coating Thickness Gauge from Elcometer uses three optional Ultra/Scan probes to measure coating thickness on either ferrous (F) metals or non-ferrous metals (NF) metals.
Ultrafast Metals Analysis of a Wide Range of Alloys
To check incoming raw materials or finished parts very quickly, the Vulcan LIBS handheld metals analyzer from Oxford Instruments takes only one second to measure metal alloys at very high accuracy and precision, then uses advanced cloud-based reporting tools for analysis.
Motorized Rotary Stage Moves 2D Measurements to Full 360 Degrees
The large CoreX2 Field of View system from OASIS can measure multiple dimensions on a part to an accuracy of up to ±.0002 in and, with the addition of the new Motorized Rotary Stage, can rotate parts a full 360 deg to get profile images and measurements from every aspect of the part.
