Machine tool orders advanced in March on a monthly basis and almost matched year-earlier levels, AMT – The Association for Manufacturing Technology said today.

The annual Integr8 show today emphasized how advanced manufacturing technology is getting faster.

Manufacturing added 11,000 jobs in April with durable goods doing the heavy lifting.

The manufacturing economy will continue to expand this year but at a slower pace than previously forecast, the Institute for Supply Management said today.

ABB said it has completed its acquisition of the Siemens low voltage NEMA motor business.

Constant refinement of medical machining from tooling design to finished product requires not only the ability to handle a broad range of plastic and metal materials but also to achieve predictable results—particularly in the face of strict regulations.

From cutting various thicknesses of sheet metal and metal plate or different widths of tubing to navigating intricate materials or process issues, some of the laser industry’s leading suppliers have weighed in with tips and insights into their novel solutions.

In our May webinar titled “Lasers in Manufacturing: State of the Art in 2018,” we noted the emergence of some novel technologies to produce the “holy grail” of laser welding: spatter-free joins with no porosity and, when required, highly aesthetic outcomes.

For ABB, robotic welding comes down to a never-ending process of ensuring parts are suitable for laser joining and developing the appropriate processes. To that end, ABB is refining a recent innovation to improve beam delivery speeds and has developed software for on-the-fly welding in tandem with Trumpf’s Intelligent Programmable Focusing Optic (IPFO).

An official of the Aluminum Association makes the case why aluminum will be important for the electrification of vehicles.
