Proactive Conference Program
FABTECH 2018 provides attendees with the opportunity to equip themselves with the knowledge necessary for helping their companies to be proactive in several key manufac- turing areas. That opportunity, presented in the form of this year’s metalforming educational program, features 22 ses- sions. Topics include the ins and outs of working with advanced high-strength steels, application of evaluation tools for achieving quality stampings, using connectivity to collect and move data, technical sensing solutions for moni- toring processes in progressive and transfer stamping, ensuring machine safety, and how to develop apprentice- ship programs for press-room techni- cians. Sponsored by the Precision Met- alforming Association, Fabricators & Manufacturers Association, Society of Manufacturing Engineers and Chemical Coaters International, here are metal- forming-session details.
Tuesday, November 6
10:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m.

Chlorinated Metalworking Fluids— Fact, Fiction & Options
Designed to provide attendees with a complete overview of chlorinated- metalworking-fluid regulations, this presentation covers what the proposed chlorinated-paraffin regulation would affect, and why the regulation change ended and is now under full review. Also covered: the regulation’s impact on employee health and environmental safety, and chlorinated materials still available and the options for replacing them.
