Fabrication & Cutting

The 8 station machine for the combination processing doesn't just ensure 100% compliance of all drawing dimensions for highly precise workpieces, but also the consolidation of the process stream. It generates significant cost savings. Oscillation sensors control the sensors and also the quality of the processes.

The exclusive FLM 3D chip-breaker design is used on PCD-tipped inserts ideal for finishing of aluminum components, where traditional flat-top inserts may produce a large continuous nest of chips that is difficult to remove from the bore and/or tool, even with high-pressure coolant.

The foundry-grade aluminum alloy, suitable for the laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) process, enables 3D printing of parts that have traditionally been manufactured using casting practices. There are other Aluminum alloys that are more commonly used in metal additive manufacturing, such as AlSi10Mg, but Aluminum F357 can be anodized and shares characteristics with A356, a widely used casting alloy.n

Whether driven by the reduction of in-shop personnel due to layoffs or to maintain social distancing guidelines into the future, many machine shops likely will be reevaluating ways to eliminate labor-intensive manual operations if they can be automated instead.

The handpiece on the #9650004 utilizes an advanced high-performance oscillating unit and features a removable curled power cord for easy storage. The powerpack provides a wide range or operational frequencies. The tool comes with an optional finishing kit featuring a complete selection of diamond files and ceramic polishing stones.

The workpiece unit is mounted vertically and easily accessible for fast changeover. Thanks to the integrated tool changer with a capacity for up to ten tools, even complex machining processes can be carried out in only one clamping process.

The LT722D, available with a 2.5kW Co2 laser source, can cut mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum (some alloys). The LT Fiber EVO, available with a 2 or 3kW fiber laser, can also cut these materials as well as copper, brass and galvanized steel.

The system allows a high coating speed. The coating medium can also be changed in a very short time, thanks to the system's automated cleaning process for all system components carrying operating supplies.

Dayton, OH – Custom tooling requests are not unusual at Monaghan Tooling Group, and each gets special attention. They are all important. However, when it's a life-or-death situation, you tend to pull out all the stops.

Burrs on machined metal parts come in a variety of shapes and sizes but have one thing in common: They must be removed.

A perfectly timed sequence becomes apparent for truck differentials, it consists of three individual parts before production starts: two housing parts and the ring gear. These each weigh up to 130 kilos (287 lbs) and have a diameter of up to 600 millimeters (24 in).

This laser scanner uses 3D reality capture. 3D reality capture is a process of scanning and capturing any site, for example, factories, buildings, crashes and crime scenes, in a 3D digital model, combining measurements and imagery. The model can be used for design and comparison purposes in various situations, capturing every detail with to-the-millimeter accuracy.
