Fabrication & Cutting

As global manufacturing faces continued pressure from raw material volatility and supply chain concentration, machining operations are reassessing how critical tool materials are deployed within their processes. Tungsten carbide remains indispensable across a wide range of applications.

Mazak Optonics Corporation’s Lz Series -2D Laser Processing Machines from its new OPTONICS brand features higher power levels and table sizes that allows for the production of larger work pieces.

Mazak Optonics Corporation, a leading manufacturer of advanced laser-cutting solutions, announces the official launch of its affiliate brand, OPTONICS, in the United States market. Developed to meet the evolving needs of modern manufacturing, the OPTONICS brand represents the collaboration of advanced machinery, experienced professionals, and a shared commitment to solving production challenges—allowing workshops to compete effectively in today’s markets.

Eliminate tedious hand work and deburr the work piece on your CNC machine for more consistent and controlled results. The DeBurr-Z floats in both the compression and extension direction allowing the cutting tool to follow the top edges or underside edges of the work piece even when these are not clearly defined.

At the end of January, Bystronic completed the acquisition of the Tools for Materials Processing division of the US company Coherent Corp. With this acquisition, Bystronic plans to expand into several growth markets such as medical technology and semiconductors.

The M. K. Morse Company announced the hiring of Ivan Robles as its sales manager, Mexico. An industrial engineer with more than 12 years of experience in technical sales, commercial support, and team coordination in the metalworking industry, Robles will lead our push to grow market share and customer relationships in Mexico.

Bio-SynXtra metalworking oils from Renewable Lubricants are designed for heavy-duty machining applications including stamping, drawing, milling, drilling, turning, grinding, honing, broaching, thread cutting, tapping, and other applications in hard materials like stainless steel, Inconel, and Hastelloy. The biosynthetic blend is transparent to allow visibility during cutting operations.

Modern grooving and cut-off systems offer versatile geometries, stronger carbide and ceramic options, smarter cooling and custom tooling for complex parts.

Federal infrastructure outlays and private-sector capital spending are fueling a new growth cycle in North American structural steel. Bodor's one-stop profile-processing solution — the U3000 and the Hicut Fiber Laser Cutter—is powering profile fabrication in North America's structural steel industry with efficiency and precision.

Two next-generation CNC deburring holders from Bel Air Finishing were designed to automate, streamline, and elevate edge-finishing operations across manufacturing environments. The new FM-DBR7-1D Series and FM-DBR7-SC Series will upgrade a machine shop with precision-engineered solutions that replace manual deburring with consistent, repeatable, automation-ready performance.
