Rich content features expanding line of Ercolina CNC and NC mandrel tube, pipe and profile bending and metalworking machinery.

West Bengal mill expected to begin production in the middle of 2012 and will have a capacity of 1 million tons per year.

Robot performs sheet metal fabrication, metal stamping, countersinking, metal forming, louvers, notching, holes, counterboring, stand offs, slitting, stiffening ribs and tapping holes.

With real-time Ethernet architecture and advanced software to extend the versatility of all-electric bending, new technology from Unison makes complex tube bending a Breeze.

When finishing decorative parts, it is no secret that high part rejection rates caused by unacceptable end-product finishes resulting from porosity can cut deeply into profits. Peter T. Gebhard of IMPCO shows how filling porosity prior to finishing dramatically reduces reject rates so that better finishes equal better bottom lines.

Five-stage, all-stainless-steel system from ALMCO uses U-bend design to perform numerous cleaning operations in minimum space.

Dayton finishing machines produce clean, precise edges on flats and squares of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, composites and plastics. Ideal for beveling standard weld joints.

New 5-axis 3D laser cutting system from PRIMA North America achieves up to 30 percent productivity increase for automotive, applicance and aerospace part production.

An automated loading and parts handling system complement the state-of-the-industry laser and machine control technology from Han-Kwang USA.

The HPS Series hydraulic ironworker from KNUTH Machine Tools USA has five work stations with flat and angular steel cutters, rod steel station, notching and hole-punch stations that can handle up to 1.25 in thick steel.
