The Ins and Outs of Punching Technology
Punch machines now do much more than simply punch holes. Today it’s all about completing multiple processes on the same machine, such as making up to one inch high flanges, tapping holes, forming, extruding, ribbing, offsetting, removing burrs from parts and more.
FARO Launches New Software
CAM2 Gage 2.2 contact measurement software from FARO Technologies makes the FaroArm and FARO Gage even better, with more than 30 new features.
Out of Many, One
A Win-Win Situation: Machine tool builder EMAG uses the same Siemens Sinumerik 840D CNC and remote monitoring on all of the turning, grinding and turn/grind machines it sells to a major agricultural equipment manufacturer, resulting in substantial savings for both the customer and the supplier.
Cost Estimating System Boosts Quoting Efficiencies
Defense contractor McNally Industries uses cost-estimating software from MTI Systems to better streamline their cost-estimating process, increase estimating speed, and enhance the accuracy of their quotations.
Custom Electropolishing Systems Provide Precise Control and Repeatability
Ideal for manufacturing catheters, scalpels, saws, and screens, electropolishing systems from Technic Inc. process parts from millimeters up to 20 in square with superior part-to-part uniformity over batch methods, with better throughput on stainless steels, Monel®, Hastelloy®, titanium and related metals.
Resistance Spot Welding of Aluminum Moves to Production Line
Georg Fischer Automotive uses an innovative resistance spot-welding process from Fronius to join die-cast aluminium parts in the vehicle door-frame on the Porsche Panamera.
Job Shop Gets a Square Deal with Metal-Cored Wire
Rick Conrad of Hobart Brothers explains how full-service job shop Square Deal Machining has, by converting to metal-cored wire as part of its continuous improvement process, improved its productivity by 30 percent to 40 percent as a result of having faster, cleaner welds.
A Perforation Primer: Fundamental Considerations of Metal Punching
Here is an outline of the various functions of perforated metals, the impact of punching on a metal’s properties and the difficulties of punching for a non-expert.
Factors to Consider When Selecting an Ironworker
As versatile as the ironworker is, it is still possible to purchase the wrong machine – or at least not the best one – for your application. Here are some reasons why careful examination of these factors will prevent that from happening.
Robotic Work Cells Help Diversify Business
Take a look at how contract manufacturer K-zell Metals can diversify and compete against global competition by bidding and planning fabrication work more aggressively with its increased capabilities and automation flexibility.
Faster Inspection Feedback Improves Part Quality
Let the Good Times Roll: At the Maryville plant of Kawasaki, Renishaw 5-axis scanning probes now collect data and reduce feedback to machining cells from hours to minutes and may ultimately eliminate the inspection systems for gears and cam lifts.
Retrofit Transforms Machine Productivity
More Power to You: When Helec Corporation retrofitted a workhorse MAG turning center with a new Fanuc CNC and AC digital axis drives/motors and spindle, it utterly brought new life to the entire shop floor.
