ESAB Cutting Systems' Alpharex laser cutter, aimed at the shipbuilding, railway and structural steel industries, enables sheet metal up to 28 m lengths to be processed. It is primarily suitable for cutting large items, usually in thicknesses up to 25 mm, which cannot be handled by standard laser cutting machines. While many workpieces may not take up the entire working area available with the Alpharex, the space that is not needed for a particular job can be stocked with items to be cut later and the result is virtually no down time, adds ESAB.

NUM (UK)'s NUMRoto Draw function for NumRoto grinding software now allows tool manufacturers to create dimensioned engineering drawings of machine tools showing their precise geometry. By producing cross-sectional views of a tool – at any position along its length – Draw can effectively automate production verification, explains NUM (UK). The drawings can also incorporate images obtained directly from 3D simulation of a tool, enabling even complex grinding details to be portrayed graphically and unambiguously.
