Choosing to invest in an automatic warehouse is generally motivated by the desire to improve your warehouse’s organisation and management, increase its performance and how it serves you, by minimising errors and optimising costs.

Metal fabrication is a broad business, and additive manufacturing has serious potential for a surprising number of applications, from scale models of large fabrications to a variety of tools and fixtures.

Our website recently published an article looking into issues which may arise between engineers and machinists in manufacturing companies, and possible solutions. The author came to a conclusion that one of the most important factors is a knowledge gap between engineers and machinists, which does not allow them to understand each other fully. In today's part of the article we will look into what can be done to eliminate this gap.

Engineers and machinists might come from the same company, but they are often on the different sides of the barricades when it comes to cooperation. Understanding and working together is crucial for achieving a common goals, so this article looks into ways to improve the situation.

CNC press brake and other CNC equipment are different in aspect to processing field and technology, so as the manufacturers, you have to take full consideration (including the application, deflection, bending radius of parts, etc) before you made the decision to buy it. As the decision maker, you gonna have the responsibility to understand the performance, processing range, function, precision of press brake.

The connected technologies that underpin Industry 4.0 promise to transform manufacturing with real-time insight into any aspects of operation that risk degrading finely-tuned processes.

We keep on looking into modern sheet metal forming and bending technologies, evaluating their benefits and pitfalls and clarifying what is specific about the manufacturing, to which each of those technologies looks like the best solutions.

Last week we have started our journey into exploring modern technologies of bending, trying to choose a technology which would be the best suited for manufacturing and help to get rid from back pains and strains of the operators. Let us get on today and see, what benefits the folding machines can bring.

Have operators who strain their backs lifting large panels during the press brake forming cycle? It doesn’t have to be that way.

Like in all situations it depends on your criteria of course, if I were selling machine capacity as a steel service center I definitely would like to keep my cutting machines as busy as possible.
