“There is probably no industry in the world better equipped than the Formula 1 world to provide an applied scenario where fabrication software must perform to extreme efficiency"
Australia/NZ distributor of JETCAM sheetmetal software, Maxitec Pty Ltd, has pointed to one of the world’s most time conscious and material savvy industries to highlight the intricate competitive advantages this software can bring.
In the super-fast world of Formula 1 racing, Red Bull Technology Ltd in Europe recently based its manufacturing on JETCAM to gain numerous advantages. And this was mainly to produce parts from composite ply rather than mainstream sheetmetal.
An important division of a large, publicly listed engineering firm invested in our technology specifically to maintain ongoing quality and high tolerances in component manufacture.
RCR Laser, a division of RCR Tomlinson Ltd (ASX code: RCR), is using the InspecVision Planar 65.50 Component Measurement Machine to measure the components it makes and repairs using laser cutters, to ensure integrity and continuity of manufacture.
Maxitec is always looking for skilled engineers as well as apprentices/trainees to join our team of service technicians.
PRIMA POWER FAST BEND IN ACTION
Rapid advancements in the technology used to bend metal panels in the fabrication sector sometimes causes a dilemma to those wanting to identify pros and cons between press brake technology and the fully automated panel bender.
A multi axis robot can be integrated with the CNC press brake to eliminate operator handling, but this does not officially address the tooling set up from one part to the next.
In the right application, the panel bender changes all this. The bending process can be fully automated – automatic tool set up, automatic part loading, complete part manipulation, and unloading. It produces positive and negative bends quickly and accurately without a requirement for blank flipping. Read the rest of this entry »
SUITED TO SMALL FABRICATION SHOPS WANTING TO INTRODUCE SOME LEVEL OF AUTOMATION
Even though it is considered to be an entry-level into automation of sheet metal machinery technology, the Prima Power (Finn-Power) E5 Compact Express is now being viewed by SME fabricators in Australia and NZ as a breakthrough world-class technology that is within their budgets and footprint constraints.
Apart from its compact nature and energy efficient operation, the new E5 Compact Express has a diverse excellence in sheet handling ability.
In effect, it provides smaller businesses with affordable yet sophisticated loading and handling capabilities together with a compact, high-performance servo electric turret punch press with fully automated material handling capabilities. Read the rest of this entry »
A growing number of companies have gone down the path of becoming an automated lights out manufacturer, shutting down their doors at the end of the day and returning the following morning to find machines have produced an entire shift of products, with no (or limited) human intervention.
For these companies the addition of an automated third shift means more orders can be accepted and produced through present production systems, alleviating growing pressures and remain competitive.
Andrew Bentrup, MD of automation specialist Maxitec, the most immediate advantages of automated manufacturing is the ability to plan production more effectively, and further in advance. The other, he says, is securing larger and more competitive contracts. Read the rest of this entry »
VALUE GRINDING SYSTEM FOR PUNCHES & DIES
The maintenance of punches and dies is one of the most overlooked areas in sheetmetal machinery maintenance.
This is partly because it traditionally has taken a considerable amount of time and effort to grind and sharpen tooling. But just as likely it is purely down to the operators who don’t think about this important aspect of maintenance until the worn tool becomes a production setback.
With such strong need for a new and simple solution, Sheetmetal machinery specialist Maxitec has an affordable new system available to ensure all types of tooling is kept in its best operating condition at all times.
The Mate ValuGrind is a tool grinding system that regrinds punches and dies to maintain optimum condition for the highest quality punch press fabrication. Read the rest of this entry »
The recent Blechexpo 2011 signalled the first official global presentation of two leading specialists in laser and sheet metal working technology joining forces under the new banner Prima Power, since Prima Industrie acquired the Finn-Power Group back in 2008.
Managing Director of Maxitec Pty Ltd, Mr Andrew Bentrup, says the company has already made a significant impact on the Australia and NZ fabrication markets representing Finn-Power and associated brands for many years.
Now, with the added power of the new Prima Industrie Group, the foundations are set for an even more comprehensive supply/partnership arrangements with local fabricators that are moving away from costly manual processes and into the more cost quantifiable domain of automated fabrication.

FABRICATOR VERY GLAD TO BE OPERATING AT ONLY HALF CAPACITY
If the owner of a sheetmetal fabrication plant is over the moon because work demands dropped from full- to half-capacity overnight, you would normally associate the reaction as a sign of madness.
But not at Servgas Sheet Metal. The Sydney based company couldn’t be any happier. This is because work hasn’t dropped off at all, management just found a smarter way to handle production.
“It was all down to a straight out machinery upgrade,” said Managing Director of the company, Mr Adam Veitch. Read the rest of this entry »
