Filter by Process Zone:
Laser Welding Made Easy
The TruLaser Robot 5020 from TRUMPF provides for easy, cost effective entry into laser welding of simple sheet metal parts to bent profiles and three-dimensional geometry that is commonly produced on machining centers.
Laser Sensing and Workhorse Robot Cells Improve Weld Quality, Reduce Cycle Times
The AccuFast II laser seam finder and high speed ArcWorld 200 and ArcWorld 500 welding systems from Yaskawa Motoman greatly improve shop welding productivity.
High Speed Welding
Here are some of the newest advances in welding systems and consumables that can help metal fabricators increase their productivity, add more capacity, and lower their operating costs.
Digital Work Instructions for Lean Manufacturing
Visual Knowledge Share is a multilingual and digital work instruction application that helps shops increase quality, profitability, and productivity and get the most out of their factory by displaying standardized, advanced work instructions while monitoring factory performance.
Next Steps in CAD/CAM Applications
Waveform Roughing in Vero Surfcam from DM Solutions ensures that a constant volume of material is removed for high speed machining of harder materials by using as much of the flute length as possible to distribute wear evenly along the entire cutting length, rather than just the tip.
Heavy Duty Casters for Higher Loads
The 310 & 410 Kingpinless Series casters from W.T. Hight are constructed of high quality, heat-treated AISI 1045 laser-cut steel and feature a precision-machined raceway for improved ergonomics and superior strength in rugged and towed applications.
Easy, Fast and Precise 3D Measurement for Wide-Ranging Tasks
The COMET L3D 2 sensor from Zeiss quickly delivers precise 3D data of components even in difficult ambient conditions, automatically recognizes changes in vibration and exposure, and offers high-end technology for exceptional data quality with maximum ease of use.
Cloud-Based ERP for Small to Medium Sized Custom Manufacturers
Version 9.0 VISUAL ERP manufacturing software from Synergy Resources helps custom fabrication shops of all sizes become more efficient and productive, particularly in the areas of pricing and cost visibility, scheduling, and managing quality.
Quickly Fixture and Set-Up Welding & Fabrication Jobs Anywhere
The Rhino Cart Mobile Fixturing Station from Strong Hand Tools includes the welding table plus a 66-piece Clamp and Component Fixturing Kit that mates to the CNC precision-bored 5/8 in tabletop holes for accurate clamping or fixturing on the tabletop.
Swiss Machining Moves to the Next Level
The newly redesigned SV-20R Swiss-type Automatic Lathe from Star CNC has improved functions, build in “B” axis for multiple tools, and an (8) station tool block for overlapping of back operations.
CNC Hardware for High-End Machine Tools
Version 4.7 of Sinumerik Operate software from Siemens shortens program runtimes and simulates faster with quicker overall operation using more powerful CPUs and 15 in and 19 in “Blackline” panels in widescreen format for the Sinumerik 840D sl CNC.
5-Axis CNC Grinder with Extended X-Y Axis Paths Plus Two Aux Slides for Part Clamping
The 325linear cylindrical grinding system from Schütte features extended X-Y paths, two auxiliary slides, and optional robotic handling, wheel changing and tool magazines for scalable automation in the same machine.
