Over and out. 1,421 words 23 October 2002. Metalworking Production. (c) 2002 Miller Freeman. When capital is available, acquiring the ideal machine can present a dilemma. Take sheet metal company, Greenfield Engineering Ltd,which wanted something to make it stand out from other subcontractors. Two years ago, the Devon based company started researching methods for forming sheet metal; this led to the introduction of a Salvagnini Performer. Following its success, Greenfield travelled to Italy to view an S4P4 punch-shear-bend system. It's the first new generation Salvagnini punch shear machine to arrive in the UK since its launch at EMO 2001. Greenfield's new equipment now includes pressbrakes, automated turret punches and a laser, all supported by off-line programming. |

Calvin Ostler poses with one of five lasers aimed at a car Monday, Nov. 23, 1998, in West Valley City, Utah. For almost 100 years, police trying to reconstruct crime scenes have relied on wooden dowels and yards of string to trace the path of bullets that were fired. Not anymore, though, at least not in West Valley City, where police have added a touch of Hollywood with disco smoke and laser beams. (AP Photos/Douglas C. Pizac) |

In 1951 the late Basil Thwaites unveiled his first "dumper-truck". Copyright MCB UP Limited (MCB) 2002. Fifty years on the company which continues to bear his name is still the world's leading producer of such vehicles - exporting them to more than 70 countries. In the late 1990s, some time after most manufacturers of off-road vehicles had already embraced laser technology, two factors emerged to alter this situation - one general, and one specific. In general, more powerful lasers were now available - these enabled both the cutting of thicker materials, and the cutting of medium gauges of material much faster than before. |

Javier Espinal is strolling through the expansive storage area of his 25,000-square-foot Toronto factory, casually inspecting Polar Magnetics Inc.'s inventory of "trinkets and trash." MERCHANDISING. Copyright Rogers Publishing Limited Sep 4, 2000. The carefully stacked merchandise ranges from key chains, wall plaques, coasters, place mats and reusable stickers to the company's biggest seller: fridge magnets. And sure enough, it's not long before Espinal is walking among aisles of steel racks, their shelves groaning under the weight of thousands of magnets displaying the likenesses of a veritable Who's Who of pop culture. The influx of new business meant that Polar was now in a position to buy its own laser cutter, a machine that is capable of cutting up to 2,000 magnets in an eight-hour shift. |

Advanced manufacturing technology has been applied with great success in a variety of engineering manufacturing systems. Copyright MCB UP Limited (MCB) 1998. Integration is widely recognised as the key factor in realising the potential of the enabling technologies which form the keystones of these systems. Water jet cutting has been applied for many years across a range of industries but has not found favour in textiles. Cutting of floor coverings, tiles, metals and plastics are typical application areas. Water jet cutting and laser cutting are often compared (Anon, 1987; Mosavi, 1987). Laser energy has been a favoured means of cutting, heat treating and welding of metals for some years now. A number of commercial machines now exist for cutting textiles (Roux, 1988). The favoured device is usually a CO[sub]2 gas laser which produces adequate edge quality and can be cost effective, but is limited to single ply cutting of mainly large workpieces on special machine frames, to provide a large work area, for example sail cloth.

Since introducing laser cutting into its operation a year ago, Midwest Precision Products (North Royalton, OH) has improved the flexibility of its manufacturing operations. Copyright Society of Manufacturing Engineers Jul 1998. "When we first evaluated the CO, laser system, we immediately saw an advantage in the minimal setup time required," notes Jeff Berkes, plant and laser operations manager for Midwest Precision Products. He says that laser cutting accommodates the company's needs for production volumes ranging from one piece to more than 100,000 pieces. |
