Automated tube welding of heat exchangers

Harris Thermal Transfer Products, Newberg, Oregon, is an American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)-code shop that focuses mainly on the production of shell and tube heat exchangers.

Laser cutting 3-D preformed parts

This article describes how a fabricator can use the advances in modern CAD/CAM software to cut preformed parts quickly on a sophisticated, multiaxis rotary laser. It specifically examines surface data cleanup, conversion, work envelope check, cutting simulation, fixture design and code generation, and fixture cutting and positioning options of newer programs.

Deep drawing irregular sheet components: How cushion systems and die stiffness affect the operation

Innovations in die technology are helping stampers adjust to the many variations that can occur during the stamping process.

Predicting the outcomes of laser thermal forming

Recovering from press overload: Protection systems help to sense overload and minimize machine, tool damage

This article discusses what hydraulic overload protection system is and gives a brief description of the three main types.

Metal stamping and electromagnetic forming: New process improves material formability, reduces wrinkling

This article describes the development of electromagnetic forming (EMF) and how EMF works.
