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:
Feedout Tools Add Versatility to Horizontal Boring of Large Work
T-bed horizontal boring mills from Fives Giddings & Lewis use a range of contouring heads and programmable boring bars to do bores, tapers, grooves, chamfers, phonographic finishes, recesses of differing sizes and more with a single tool.
Drilling Through Hard Metal Jobs
For extreme durability and long life in hard metal applications, Shockwave Impact Duty Titanium Red Helix bits and Cobalt Red Helix drill bits from Milwaukee Tool feature an aggressive 35 deg helix angle that varies along the flute, ending at 15 deg.
Portable Mag Drill Makes Deep Holes in Solid Steel or Stacked Plates
The new HMD918 portable magnetic drill from Hougen has a high torque motor and extended 6 in drilling depth to drill deep holes in steel, whether it is a solid piece of material or multiple stacked plates.
Angle Roll for Precision Bending of a Wide Range of Tube, Pipe and Profiles
The CE60H3 angle roll from Ercolina operates in either the vertical or horizontal position, with a maximum bending capacity of 3 in schedule 10. Its control tower with low voltage controls has foot pedal for hands-free operation. Programmable touchpad controls with digital center roll positioning increase repeatability.
Powerful Portable Mag Drill for Demanding Jobs that Require More Power
The MABasic 850 four-speed portable magnetic drill from CS Unitec cuts holes up to 3-1/16 in diameter with annular cutters. Its MT3 design, coupled with an included ¾ in geared chuck, easily converts the MABasic 850 into a standard drill press with a 10 in stroke for conventional twist drilling up to 1-1/4 in diameter.
Twice the Cutting Speed on Thick Plates
The new Highspeed and Highspeed Eco nozzles and flexible TruLaser 3030 fiber and TruLaser 2030 fiber with LiftMaster Shuttle from TRUMPF allow for a nearly twofold increase in sheet throughput compared to standard cutting.
Punch Heavy Plates Instead of Drilling or Burning Them
The Geka Hydracrop 220 SD ironworker from COMEQ uses a semi-automatic gauging system and a punch capacity of over 240 tons to punch up to 1-9/16 in diameter holes thru 1-1/2 in thick A36 steel plate so that users can now punch heavy plates that would normally require drilling or burning.
High Speed Spindles and Vacuum Workholding for Milling, Drilling, Cutting and Grinding
Micro Line high speed spindles and Witte vacuum workholding systems from IBAG North America are ideal for precision machining applications.
Tooling for Machining Heat Resistant Super Alloys
Effective for roughing and semi-finishing of turning and milling applications using RCGX, RNG, RPGX, SNG, SNGX geometries, the new SX3 SiAlON Grade from NTK Cutting Tools combines excellent wear resistance and toughness required for cutting Heat Resistant Super Alloys.
Cloud Machining Takes Center Stage
Users of Mastercam 2018 now have direct access to complete, up-to-date cutting tool product data from cutting tool manufacturers that are available on the MachiningCloud, and can quickly filter possibilities down to an optimum solution for a given workpiece.
Carbide Tipped Band Saw Blades for General Purpose Cutting
VERSA PRO carbide tipped blades from LENOX use a proprietary carbide tip and HONEX technology that pre-hones the cutting edge to minimize chipping and help eliminate the break-in process for long blade life across a variety of metals and cutting applications.
Robust and Versatile Vises for 5-Axis and Production Workholding
MaxLock HP self-centering vises, DTR DoveLock dovetail 5-axis vises and the DX6 CrossOver vise from Kurt combat jaw deflection and part lift and provide easy access to the workpiece.
