Welcome to our newly formatted Fabricated Metals Newsletter.

We would like to expand the coverage of our newsletter to give you more information about welding, metalforming and tube bending. With the current market situation and increased metal prices, Balluff wants to remind our readers about the profitability that can be improved through process improvement.

Let Balluff Sensor Outfitters show you how to avoid the hundreds of minutes of unplanned machine downtime by protecting sensing devices so it can survive in harsh welding environments, protect expensive stamping dies, and increase stamping press strokes per minute. To get you started we will:

• Audit your process
• Review audit results and final report
• Establish and implement a productivity improvement plan
• Establish routine maintenance sensor training
• Measure results

Metal Forming White Paper
Protecting the Die and Press

This white paper is intended to provide a plan on how to improve the quality of finished parts and how to help eliminate damage to dies and presses in the Metal Forming Industry. The plan involves a sensor-driven approach to increase the percentage of perfect parts produced and to save tens of thousands of dollars in lost production, unplanned downtime, and die repair. It’s surprisingly easy to get started – if you go about it in the right way.

Weld Seam Detection
Error-free tube fabrication - Article

Manufacturing processes are prone to variances, resulting in manufactured products that do not conform to specifications. Dozens of types of electronic sensors and measurement systems are available that fabricators can use to verify that their products are not defective. Understanding what types of sensors are available and how they work are the first two steps in implementing electronic sensing devices for quality control.
