What is Laser Cutting?

These days the manufacturing and production of goods is greatly improved with the amazing advancements in technology. It is a well-known fact that before the Industrial Revolution that started in England during the 18th century manual production of goods was the only manufacturing method. However a lot has changed since than and nowadays there are many advanced techniques that can be used in a wide range of industries. One such modern and highly efficient technique is laser cutting which is the best possible way to produce different kinds of sheet metal.

Steel Fabrication: Review of Different Processes to Better Understand the Benefits

Steel fabrication is a complex procedure which includes a wide range of different techniques. It makes use of various tools and machinery that are used to transform as well as shape the steel. In this article we will focus on the the various processes that are used for steel fabrication.

The procedure itself involves forming, shaping as well as joining different pieces of metal. This is a really important part of the whole production process. Many companies provide steel fabrication services Australia wide. Particularly for the Melbourne area reputable companies offer a wide range of efficient fabrication methods that come with many benefits. To get a better understanding of the whole procedure here are the most commonly used processes and tools for steel fabrication.

Precision CNC: Everything You Need To Know

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) precision machining is a material-processing procedure used in manufacturing plants in various industry branches. This type of manufacturing processes include usage of special CNC machining tools such as laser cutting machines, milling machines, boring machines, drilling machines and latches. Regardless of the operations and applications (it can be drilling, grinding and cutting) the machines are used, a common thing for the different tools is that they are controlled by a computer. This is performed with the use of special software with which G-code instructions are set. The set of instructions is determined with the specific design of the final product that needs to be produced. The main advantage of precision CNC procedures is the incomparably high level of speed, accuracy and precision, which are features that significantly speed up, simplify and increase the efficiency of the common operations that are performed it the industrial plants.

Advantages Of Welding Robot

Welding is the process of combining two types of material together. The newly created material is to be cooled afterwards. A welding robot is generally used for the automated process that increases efficiency and consistency. There are numerous advantages of using a welding robot, including faster production, no breaks during production and superior weld quality.

An automated welding robot can work up to several days without ever stopping. This is something that big industry manufacturers use and their process of creating a product is cut by several weeks and in some cases months. A robot welder is more coherent and can move easily from one point in the factory to the other without losing any time and boosting the process greatly.

A Complete Guide To CNC Precision Machining

CNC stands for a Computer Numerical Control. It is a term used to describe the procedure of cutting and processing materials, using computer-controlled machine tools. CNC precision machining is used in a various manufacturing plant for performing precise material cutting operations. The machine tools that are used for this procedure include grinders, mills, lathes and routers. Each of these machining tools has a specific purpose of use in different CNC applications. Typical and most commonly performed CNC precision machining procedures are drilling, milling and turning.

The computers which are used for the controlling don’t look much different than the personal computers but are much more powerful. In fact, it is the specialized software and control console the main segments that distinguish these computers among the other. The special software is programmed in special machining language called G-code. Using the G-code language, the CNC machines are given a set of instructions in respect of the cuts that need to be made. Continue reading

The 3 Most Popular Prova Clamp Meters

Electrical meters with integral AC current clamps are called clamp-on ammeters, tong testers or clamp meters. Their function is to measure the vector sum of the currents which are flowing in all the conductors passing through the probe and this depends on the phase relationship of the currents. Normally, only one conductor is passed through the probe. The same current flows down one conductor and up the other in case the clamp is closed around a two conductor cable carrying power to the equipment.

Since equipment electrical cables have both of the insulated conductors bonded together, clamp meters are usually used with a short extension cord with the two conductors separated so that the clamp can be placed around only one conductor of the extension.

Prova Clamp Meters are multifunction Continue reading

All You Need To Know About Humidity Meters

Humidity Meters: 101

If there is one particular tool that no industrial space can be properly operated without, that is definitely the humidity meter. This special device, also known as a hygrometer, works as an instrument for measuring the level of humidity in the atmosphere. In other words, it indicates the moisture-percentage in the air (relative humidity), the total amount of moisture (absolute humidity) or both.

There are also simple models of relative humidity meters for indoor or outdoor that only indicate whether the air is damp or dry. Continue reading

Infrared Thermometers – Importance and Use

An infrared thermometer is a device used for measuring temperatures using the thermal radiation (sometimes referred as blackbody radiation) emitted from objects. An increased number of professionals all over the world involved in many different industries and environments decide to buy infrared thermometer, as it is able to effectively determine surface temperature.

These thermometers are also known as laser and non-contact thermometers, because many models use a laser to help in aiming and the devices do not depend on a contact with the object to measure temperature. Continue reading

The Working Principle Of a Portable Carbon Monoxide Detector

Carbon monoxide, the silent killer that comes from anything that is flammable and easily burnable – wood, gasoline, oil, natural gas, propane or coil. It is colourless, odourless, tasteless and most important of all, deadly. By far, carbon monoxide has taken many lives, so awareness about the hazardous effects of carbon-monoxide poisoning has been significantly increased by implementing few effective measures of protection.

One of them is the installation of a carbon monoxide detector. Continue reading

All You Need To Know About Gas Detection Devices

Gas detection devices, as their name implies are instruments which are used for detecting gasses. The main purpose of these instruments is detecting leaks of gasses which are harmful to human’s and animal’s health. The gas detection devices are used in a variety safety system for detecting the potential presence of gasses that are toxic, easily flammable or combustible. When the gas detection device detects such hazardous gas, it produces warning sounds and calls on caution and reaction.
