Sheet Laser + Press Brake in Action at FABTECH

BLM GROUP USA’s 12 kW Sheet Laser Cutter and ProBend Press Brakes will work together at FABTECH, #A2935. ProBend electric E-Series comes in 44-276 ton models for bending lengths of 4’ -17’ or hybrid H-Series in 44 – 660 ton models for 4’ – 20’ lengths.

Six-Axis, 10-kg-Payload Cobot Ideal for Robotic Welding

Specifically designed to add robotic welding capacity to current production, the six-axis HC10XP human-collaborative robot (cobot) enables operation with, or in close proximity to, human workers. Ideal for supplementing manual welding or for rolling up to large, heavy workpieces with its 1200 mm-reach, the 10-kg payload cobot can be repurposed easily depending on production needs.

Resistance Welding from A to Z

T. J. Snow Company provides a comprehensive inventory of new and used resistance welding machinery, as well as industrial water chillers and industrial spring balancers. Stop by its booth to also discuss its consulting and training opportunities.

Press Brake Adjustable Die

Wilson Tool will display a comprehensive line of tooling for a variety of applications, including stamping bending and punching. Its punching offers thick turret, fab/thin turret, Trumpf-style, Wiedemann-style and Salvagnini-style tools. And, its bending division manufactures American Precision, European Precision, WT-style, American Planed (conventional) and LVD-style tooling.

High-Volume Tube Cutting, Bending

Designed for high volumes, short cycle times and resource-saving material handling, the CNC 80 E TB MR tube cutting and bending machine from Schwarz Robitec is matched to the requirements of the automotive industry. Production time reportedly is reduced by as much as 40 percent compared to conventional machines, depending on the component and the desired tube geometry, and material waste is reduced by as much as 90 percent.

Adaptive Resistance Welding Control

Bosch Rexroth’s new PRC7000 controller family, featured at FABTECH, improves adaptive weld control for automotive applications. The unit stores as many as 10,000 welding programs and allows for precise adjustment of welding current to eliminate expulsion and costly reworking. With an energy-efficient design and adaptive welding with idle standby, the PRC7000 promises to reduce power loss and enable the use of smaller, more compact cooling systems. And, it’s built for the “factory of the future,” with a dual-processor architecture that enables high data-transfer rates without impacting welding-process control.
