How Welding Industry Trends Optimize Workflow: Metal fabrication shop owners are searching for effective and easy to use approaches to compress the entire welding production cycle, from set up to the final inspection process. Welding industry leaders outline practical, real-world technologies such as automation and digital solutions, smarter processes and strategies that ensure fabrication shops realize results quickly, removing bottlenecks, improving weld quality, and keeping projects on budget. Find out how automation systems, for example, support your existing welders in delivering up to three times more output by delivering the right tools and support. Keep an eye on emerging technologies that will rapidly bridge the skills gap between experienced welders and newcomers.

Precision, repeatability, and process optimization are essential across all sectors of modern manufacturing. Whether producing hardened steel drivetrain components, aerospace-grade titanium structures, or complex parts…
The 5-flute solid carbide end mill is a workhorse for helical interpolation.
Machitech announced a strategic partnership with Lantek Sheetmetal Solutions to feature nesting software on all Machitech PRIME S machines; and Lantek Flex3D nesting software on all Machitech TUBE XL machines.
The new design helps the manufacturing community quickly search, evaluate, and specify machine tool accessories and machine tending solutions that optimize machining performance.
This new step in Lantek’s growth strategy in North America will establish a local presence to provide closer service to the Canadian market.
