FABTECH 2015—It’s a Wrap
Magnetic Drill Offers Powerful, Controlled Hold on Curved or Flat Work
Magswitch Technology, Inc., Lafayette, CO, launched several new products at FABTECH. Included was the MagDrill Disruptor 30, fea- turing the company’s shal- low-field magnetic technol- ogy. The first of a series, the MagDrill uses patent-pend- ing pipe conformability, with its flexible drill base reportedly providing supe- rior grip on flat and round surfaces via a pivoting mag- net-base design. The light-
weight tool requires no electricity and provides a controlled, powerful hold on range of steels—flat or curved.
The progressive actuation of the magnetic force provides pre- cise positioning before applying the full-magnet hold. Impor- tantly, according to company officials, the magnet turns com- pletely off and does not accumulate magnetic material from the drill site. For increased safety, the locking feature of the base pre- vents magnet arrays from deactivating during use, thus ensur-
Breakthrough Capacitor-Discharge Resistance-Welding Technology
Dengensha America demonstrated its new Flexwave resistance-weld machine, with flexible waveform technolo- gy, at FABTECH. The machine combines the capabilities of a
capacitive-discharge welder (CDW) and a 15,000-Hz bipolar medium-frequency con- verter (MFC) to offer enhanced control of energy release. We saw firsthand how the technology controls heat input and optimizes weld-nugget quality on steel and aluminum, as well as dis- similar materi- als, with weld parameters that are simple to set. And, the technology maximizes waveform flexi- bility, allowing fine-tuning of tempering, demagnetization,
upslope, etc.
The new Flexwave Welder Series includes the NICP-050,
NICP-100, and NICP-150 models, with maximum weld cur- rents of 50,000, 100,000 and 150,000 A respectively.
