Fabrication & Cutting

Process-reliably and reproducibly deburred and cleaned parts are crucial for the quality of subsequent processes such as bonding, sealing and assembly as well as for perfect product function. With the completely new system concept EcoCvelox, Ecoclean introduces a highly flexible, modular solution for cost-efficient high-pressure waterjet deburring and cleaning in a single procedure.

BLM Group USA has announced that its LT5 Lasertube can now be ordered with 2kW fiber laser capability for faster processing speeds. This entry level automated laser tube cutter is suitable for small to medium-sized round tube applications up to 120 mm (4.75-in.) in diameter and can process mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass and galvanized materials.

BOLD Laser Automation Inc. announces the shipping of its latest digital manufacturing tools, trademarked the LPC1006 Digital Laser Stamping Platform. The LPC1006 is a production laser stamping tool that is coil and foil web fed for lights out operation.

Increasing demands on cleanliness, in terms of freedom from both particulate and film-type contaminants, call for the use of adapted cleaning solutions. These now include a new spray cleaning system for solvent-based cleaning machines by Ecoclean.

A full line of OEM compatible, field-replacement CO2 laser lenses that are offered with specific focal lengths optimized to the material surface has been introduced by Laser Research Optics.

SCANLAB GmbH's 5-axis precSYS subsystems enable industrial ultra-short-pulse (USP) laser micromachining of flexible, definable geometries with high aspect ratios. The availability of a subsystem optimized for 515nm lasers is particularly attractive in the electronics industry, where it allows creating probe cards with even finer lateral structures.

Abrasive waterjet machining can be a terrific complement to more traditional machining processes.

Swedish researchers break down the causes of tool coating degradation.

EXAIR's new 30-gallon Heavy Duty HEPA Vac is a powerful, HEPA-quality, industrial vacuum cleaner. This smaller volume drum means that it will fit in tighter spaces and is suited for less frequent or lower volume applications.
