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:
Efficient Bending of Large Tubes and Pipes
By end forming on flanges and optimized processing of large tubes and tubes with small diameters, large tube bending machines from Transfluid offer fast tool changes and permit narrow radii, even in CuNiFe and stainless steel pipes.
Tube Bending for Automotive Systems
The CNC 80 E TB MR tube bending machine from Schwarze-Robitec uses a disconnecting device integrated into the bending tool to bend and separate tube components at random lengths in a single step, reducing production times and decreasing scrap material up to 90 percent.
Versatile, Compact Laser Tube Cutting
The VCL-T100 tube production system from Mazak Optonics utilizes Direct Diode Laser technology to deliver higher efficiency and reliability than traditional fiber or other solid state laser generation systems.
Advanced Tube Fabrication Systems
The LC5 tube and sheet fabricating machine, the LT-FREE fiber laser tube cutting machine for cutting 3-dimensional parts, and the E-TURN and 4-RUNNER tube bending machines from BLM are ideal for effective, automated high volume fabrication of difficult materials.
Laser Tube Cutting with Solid-State Laser Technology
The TruLaser Tube 5000 solid-state fiber laser tube cutting machine from TRUMPF eliminates the need for a fully enclosed housing, making it quick and easy for users to load individual tubes and profiles or to remove finished parts while the machine is in operation.
Let It Flow: Tube & Pipe Fabrication
As business picks up for tube and pipe fabricators, they must reduce their setup times and become more versatile in the flow of work they are able to handle, all while increasing their productivity to remain competitive. Here is some of the latest tube and pipe fabrication and welding equipment that can help these shops smooth out jobs so that their work goes with the flow.
Modular, Scalable Platform Tube and Pipe Inspection
The Total Vu HMI software platform from LaserLinc hosts laser micrometers and ultrasonic devices. For specific measurement applications, combine any set of standard features and optional plug-in modules to create the perfect measurement solution.
Handheld XRF Analysers for Fast Inspection
X-MET8000 Series handheld XRF analyzers from Oxford Instruments are ideal for inspection routines that include identification and analysis of common alloys, high speed grade identification and analysis on aluminums to high temperature alloys to steels.
Optimized Bending Production
The BendingStudio software platform from AICON 3D Systems interconnects work at different workstations to make measurement even more efficient. Users can store their data on a central server and still use them for measurements.
Moisture-Tolerant Epoxy Systems for Harsh Oil and Gas Environments
With a low-temperature cure formulation for application at just a few degrees above freezing, Dura-Plate 301 Series epoxy systems from Sherwin-Williams can be applied over damp and medium flash-rusted metal substrates without dew point restrictions.
High Precision Cutting in a Small Footprint
With powerful cutting capabilities, a class-leading working range and excellent ergonomics, the V760EX vertical lathe from Okuma is ideal for for machining thin and odd-shaped work pieces used in the oil and gas industry.
Cascading Arc Plasma Spray Technology
The SinplexPro spray gun from Oerlikon Metco allows standardization of coating parameters across multiple spray systems and brings cascading arc technology to existing plasma spray systems.
