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:
Software Uses Specialized 5-Axis Features
5-Axis multiblade and porting options are among the powerful new features planned for GibbsCAM 2013 that will be demonstrated at EASTEC 2013 by Gibbs & Associates.
Enhanced CNC Machine Simulation and Optimization
VERICUT 7.2 CNC machine simulation, verification and optimization software from CGTech reduces the time required to develop, analyze, inspect and document the CNC programming and machining process.
Hydraulic Quick Die Change Systems
The concept of quick die change is simple: minimize the time from the last good hit on one die to the first good hit on the next one.
Another Look at Grinding vs. Hard Turning: PCBN Hard Turning Finishes Strong
Hard turning has clearly gained momentum over conventional finishing methods and become recognized as a step up in both productivity and cost-effectiveness. The economic benefits continue to add up for shops that embrace PCBN hard turning technology.
Pull Out Protection: How to Increase Productivity During Roughing
These solid carbide end mills from ATI Stellram use a patented pull out protection system from Haimer and are designed specifically to meet the demands of heavy-duty cutting in aerospace and energy applications.
Fiber Laser Cuts Large Sheets of Material Economically
The K2CM L1 fiber laser cutting system from K2 LASER SYSTEM provides an advantage to fabricators competing in the sheet metal cutting, wafer cutting, stencil, gasket and/or solar cell cutting market segments.
Fiber Laser Cutting of Thick Material
As the highest powered solid-state 2D laser cutting machine on the market, the TruLaser 5040 fiber system from TRUMPF cuts not only mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum cost-effectively, but also non-ferrous metals such as copper and brass, up to 0.4 in thick.
Customized CNC Laser Tube Cutting
CNC Laser Tube Cutters from Toolmen Corporation are configured for specific applications and designed for maximum beam on time. These machines typically make use of multiple servos for fixturing, loading/unloading and part presentation.
Fully Automated Fiber Laser Cutting System
The fully automated L5 fiber laser cutting system from Salvagnini slashes costs per part by more than 50 percent, energy consumption by more than 70 percent, and running costs by two-thirds, with virtually zero maintenance.
Five-Axis Fiber Laser Processing for Aerospace, Medical, Electronics
The UW 505F fiber laser from Rofin-Sinar performs cutting, welding and other laser processes on precision 3D parts and assemblies without the danger of deforming the part.
Multi-Axis Laser Machining for Touch Factory Environment
The LASERDYNE 430 from Prima Power Laserdyne performs precision cutting, welding and drilling of 3D components that are ideal for the demanding medical device and precision instrumentation industries.
Ulutra High Speed Laser Cutting System
The TLH Series 5-axis 3D fiber laser system from NTC America—Laser Group is ideal for hot stamping operations and has shown itself to be more accurate than other operations such as robotic delivery.
