Manufacturing opportunities abound in expanding mining sector

Manufacturing opportunities abound in expanding mining sector

There is not a day that goes by that you can’t find an article about the challenges Australian manufacturers are facing in order to remain globally competitive. But there are many believers in the sector who see opportunities despite the extraordinary rise of the Aussie dollar. It’s that positive vibe which saw a leading manufacturing index last month hit positive territory for the first time in four months. And for just the second time in 10 months, the AIG/PricewaterhouseCoopers Australian Performance of Manufacturing Index scraped above the magical 50-point level separating expansion from contraction – improving from 47.7 to...

Automated duct board and fibreglass cutting boosts productivity

Automated duct board and fibreglass cutting boosts productivity

By nature, manual processes can be far more costly than those that are automated with the right tools. However, for certain types of operations, the motivation to automate goes beyond potential cost and time savings. Cutting a batt or sheet of fiberglass insulation can be messy and frustrating. The fiberglass is fuzzy and difficult to cut straight. At NT-based Veetemp, a manufacturer of heating and airconditioning systems, company director Stephen Howe realised the potential of an automated duct board and fibreglass cutting process and went on a journey to find the best solution for the established business, specialising in...

ART offers all-in-one CNC router for the HVAC&R industry

ART offers all-in-one CNC router for the HVAC&R industry

Australia’s premier manufacturer of CNC routers and plasma cutters, Advanced Robotic Technology (ART), has launched its SMART Router series XR4800d with additional features designed to suit all applications within the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) industry. Combining the proven performance of its CNC flatbed routers with an additional fourth axis to run tooling suited to process insulated duct board, ART has developed a versatile machine that is set to automate the once very labour intensive cutting process of duct board panels. Duct board is a composite product manufactured from rigid, high-density Polyurethane or Phenolic and facing foil,...

New plasma hole cutting technology narrows the gap with laser

New plasma hole cutting technology narrows the gap with laser

Hypertherm, the world leader in plasma arc metal cutting technology, has combined its newest HyPerformance technology with ART’s machine motion control systems and the latest software to take plasma cutting to a whole new level. The patent-pending hole cutting technology vastly improves the capability of HyDefinition plasma resulting in a quality that competes, at a fraction of the cost, with processes that were previously more accurate, such as drilling and laser. The technology, called True Hole™, uses a specific combination of cutting parameters optimised for mild steel applications. The end result shows an up to 50% improvement in the...
