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:
Safety Distance Validation of Presence Sensing Devices
Stop-Time Measurements performed by Rockford Systems can determine the stopping ability of industrial machinery by using OSHA or ANSI formulas to calculate the minimum safety distance required to install safety devices.
Maximum Safety for People and Machines
MSx-SV, -E und -C series exhaust valves from Festo combine their soft-start function and safety exhausting for greater machine availability and the fastest possible exhaust during an emergency stop in safety critical systems.
Integrated Human-Machine Safety
Ideal for safeguarding small to mid-sized shops, the integrated SafeLogic control from Bosch Rexroth controls the drives in manufacturing plants and complex machine tools through the Sercos automation network.
Make Blind Intersections and Corners Safer
The Safe-T-Signal intersection warning system from Rite-Hite uses unidirectional microwave sensors to differentiate, alert and direct approaching traffic in all directions in 4-way, 3-way or 2-way intersections.
Automatically Secure Loads to Pallets
To increase speed and improve efficiency in packaging and material handling, the fully automated Tornado Perfect Storm orbital wrapping system from TAB Industries wraps common pallet loads in 15 seconds with only a single operator.
Protect Workers from Back Injuries and the Digital Science of PPE
3M offers the V22 ErgoSkeleton and the FLx ErgoSkeleton from StrongArm Technologies that can significantly reduce the risk of injury due to improper lifting.
CAD-Based Metrology Software for Automatic Path Generation
QVI ZONE3 from Optical Gaging Products is next-generation metrology software that offers full 3D CAD-based programming in a multi-sensor measurement environment.
Automated, Repeatable Measurement of the Part Being Made
Integrated Verisurf 2017 measurement software from Verisurf Software supports and drives the portable zCAT direct computer control coordinate measuring machine from Fowler.
Robotic Inspection Made Easy
Metrolog X4 I-Robot version v7 from Metrologic controls both the measuring device and the robot directly, eliminating the need for several software packages and a complex integration to control a robotic cell.
Automatically Optimize On-Machine Measurement Cycles
Inspection Plus with SupaTouch from Renishaw uses intelligent in-cycle decision making to implement either a one or two-touch probing strategy for each measurement routine, eliminating the need for manual optimization of on-machine positioning feedrates, measurement feedrates and strategies.
Wear-Optimization App Helps Decrease Wear Rates and Associated Costs
The app from Walter USA enables users from any mobile device and operating system to identify all specific forms of wear on indexable-insert and round-tool solid carbide applications, from milling, drilling and threading to turning, grooving and parting.
How to Test Stamping Lubricants Without Interrupting Production
The IRMCO iTool lubricant testing process is a servo press run, data collection program that allows for frictional forces, part measurements and deformation temperatures to be compared from different lubricants and also on different substrates.
