Filter by Process Zone:
MIG WELDING CONSUMABLES REDUCE DOWNTIME IN HIGH HEAT APPLICATIONS
These consumables from Bernard also have a spatter guard improves shielding gas coverage, reduces diffuser wear and “drop in” contact tips change quickly and without tools, all to deliver superior performance.
PORTABLE WATERJET SYSTEM TRAVELS ONSITE
The mobile JetMachining® Center from OMAX cuts titanium, stainless steels, Kevlar, ceramics, laminated materials, harden steel, armor plating and more to meet specific requirements of the oil field maintenance, high-rise steel construction, shipbuilding, commercial industries supporting government programs, and any other commercial businesses needing to easily transport waterjet equipment on a regular basis.
STAMPING SUPPORT: PNEUMATIC PRESS DOES PROGRESSIVE DIE WORK
The PulsAir pneumatic press from AIRAM is ideal for supporting progressive stamping operations in industries like automotive, appliance and hardware by delivering higher speeds with a base design that dampens shock and vibration.
ULTRA HIGH ACCURACY ON COMPLEX PARTS
The INTEGREX e-1060V/8 II Multi-Tasking Center from Mazak does turning and milling and uses a unique milling spindle that tilts150 deg for both horizontal and vertical machining, angle boring and milling on multiple faces. This machine does full simultaneous 5-axis cutting to reduce throughput time for large parts of substantial complexity.
Compact Trunnion Rotary Table
The TR160Y dual-axis trunnion rotary table from Haas Automation puts 5-axis capabilities well within reach of the average job shop, and its compact size provides greater mounting flexibility.
COMPLETE MACHINING OF COMPLEX PARTS IN ONE SETUP
The compact DZ 12K S Magnum 5-axis double-spindle machining center from Chiron America uses a 2-axis tilt rotary table for milling and turning complex workpieces in one set-up to reduce total machining time and lower costs per piece with less floor space and personnel requirements.
PRECISION STAMPING COMBINED WITH SERVO PRESS TECHNOLOGY
ULX-D precision servo press series from AIDA-America are the first presses to be more accurate than the die, providing the ability to produce even higher accuracies in products formed via ironing, flattening, or bulging processes that are easily influenced by changes in forming speeds.
GENERAL PURPOSE DOUBLE SWING BAND SAW
The semi-automatic DS-20 Double Swing 20 in horizontal band saw from Scotchman Industries uses a quick-slide vise to swing 45 deg right or 60 deg left, with a capacity at 90 deg is 14 in high x 20 in wide, at 45 deg is 14 in high x 14 in wide, and at 60 deg is 14 in high x 10 in wide.
Fast and Flexible Turret Press
The new generation of the TruPunch 5000 from Trumpf processes a maximum sheet thickness of 0.3 in by operating about 10 percent faster than its predecessor, with 1400 spm for medium format and 1200 spm for large format, or 200 more strokes without using more energy.
PLASMA AND OXYFUEL CUTTING OVER LARGE WORK AREAS
The rugged Sabre DXG Heavy Duty Cutting Machine from ESAB Cutting Systems is equipped to cut carbon steel up to 3 in thick or stainless steel and aluminum up to 6 in thick using up to eight stations, including two plasma stations for cutting/marking with the same torch.
Filtration System for Weld Fume Control
The Circulator™ from Lincoln Electric is a supplement to an existing source extraction system that is ideal for small shops that have overhead cranes, large amounts of infrastructure, or other obstructions for ductwork and offers an economical alternative to a push-pull system.
MAGNETIC QUICK DIE CHANGE SYSTEMS
Hilma introduces a magnetic quick die change system that clamps existing dies without retooling with an evenly distributed clamping force that reduces tool wear.
