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:
Improved Plasma Cutting of Thin and Thick Stainless Steel
These new technologies from Hypertherm improve pierce performance and create extremely sharp and consistent top edge quality, a shiny surface finish, and superior angularity with reduced angle variation
Engine Driven Welder/Generators Reduce Fuel Use
Trailblazer systems from Miller Electric provide a smaller and lighter footprint for ease of mobility and more space on work trucks used in general construction, structural steel, maintenance and repair, mobile fabrication, and farm and ranch applications.
Portable All-In-One Welding System for Light Fabrication
Setting weld parameters in MIG, Stick and TIG processes is now easier than ever with the exclusive Auto-Set™ Elite feature on the Multimatic 200, which weighs just 29 lb and connects to common 120- and 230-volt receptacles with a MVP™ multi-voltage plug.
MIG Gun Liner Reduces Downtime
The QUICK LOAD spring-loaded system from Tregaskiss helps reduce wire-feeding problems and also decreases burnbacks, along with premature contact tip failure and wear associated with misalignment between the liner and contact tip.
New Geometry for Turning Aerospace Alloys
4E Turning Geometry from ATI Stellram machines a wide variety of materials including stainless steels, high nickel, high cobalt and titanium-based alloys to reduce shop inventory, operator error and cost.
Fail-Safe: Making Automated Metal Fabrication and Welding Safer
These innovative electronic safety components and mechanical interlock switches from ABB Jokab Safety make automated metal fabrication and welding operations safer while maintaining optimal productivity.
Lean ARC Welding Lowers Cost Per Weld
The IRB 1520ID from ABB Robotics is an attractively priced, high performance arc welding robot with fully integrated dressing that combines 24/7 production durability with 50 percent lower maintenance costs to deliver the lowest cost per weld in its class.
5-Axis Milling with Additional Capabilities
New eVo machining centers from DMG/Mori Seiki are ideal for aerospace, tool and mold making, and medical devices that require simultaneous 5-axis machining, sophisticated ergonomics or integrated mill-turn technology with an integrated pallet changer.
Horizontal Machining Takes Center Stage
The NHX4000 from DMG/Mori Seiki is a heavy-duty horizontal machining center that is ideal for machining workpieces of up to 24.8 in x 35.4 in with a loading capacity up to 880 lb.
Pipe Welding Solutions
Bug-O Systems answers many medium-to-large diameter pipe welding challenges with The Piper Plus, a self contained, digitally controlled, mechanized pipe welding system that produces high deposition rates with excellent weld quality to reduce pipe welding costs.
How to Automate Composite Wind Turbine Blade Fabrication
These rapid material placement and quick-cure molding systems from MAG combine to reduce lay-up, infusion and curing time by 50 percent while producing consistently high-quality parts.
Advanced Laser Cutting Systems
New systems from MC Machinery Systems Inc./Mitsubishi include the revolutionary 3015 NX-F Fiber Laser with a fiber laser oscillator, a Z-axis linear drive, head preset auto-focus processing, a 64-bit NC with 15 in touch screen NC-panel and more.
