Woodward Fab’s Step-by-step Guide to Assembling the Manual Pipe & Tube Bending Machine
Sheet metal fabrication is one of the most widely carried out manufacturing process, today. It is basically the process of shaping a sheet metal to get the desired part. This is done by removing the material or deforming it. Sheet metal is a special type of material with extreme flexibility. It can be bent, cut, or stretched to form different shapes. In order to do this, a wide range of machines are used, and different techniques are implemented. Are you interested to know what these machines and techniques are? If so, then read the following post, which explains in detail, all the different types of machines and techniques used for sheet metal fabrication.

Difference between Sheet Metal Fabrication and Ironwork
Sheet metal fabrication and ironwork may sound synonymous or interchangeable terms, but they are not. Each of this requires a unique skill set, materials, and equipment. The similarity is that both of these are metal fabrication techniques and comprise a variety of metals and machinery. Fabricating a metal implies cutting, bending, rolling, deburring, sawing, or more to give it a certain shape and size and use it in assembling a component. So, it is more functional in nature. Ironwork includes making railings, bridges, bank vaults, and other constructions of iron. Hence, this is more structural in nature. Be it sheet metal fabrication or ironwork, right kind of tools and equipment are essential to add precision and increase speed and efficiency. So, what are the other differences in sheet metal fabrication and ironwork? Let’s find out.

Everything You Need to Know About Weld Positioners
A weld positioner is a device designed keeping in mind the welder’s comfort. It helps reduce their fatigue as they can stand in one position and do their job. They do not have to move or bend as this welding positioner can rotate up to 360 degrees. The object or work piece to be welded is adjusted on the weld positioner. Weld positioners are fitted by either pipe joints or valves. This is a basic reason why it finds a wide application in industries that use metal fabrication or CNC machining to shape metal parts or components. This post discusses the functioning, benefits and applications of weld positioners and more.

How to Safeguard Press Brake to Prevent Hazards?
In the metalworking industry, metal bending and shaping are performed using specialized equipment called press brakes. Although designed for precision bending, the problem with this equipment is that it needs highly experienced operators with 100% working focus. However, no matter how experienced and vigilant the operator is, he is always at the risk of injury while handling the press brake. Therefore, press brake safeguarding to prevent injuries is a necessity. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and other organizations have set standards to assure the safety of people working with it. This post focusses on the industrial safety standards and press brake safety guidelines to be followed.

Know About 5 Main Types of Welding Processes
Welding is a process of joining two similar or dissimilar materials, mostly metals or thermoplastics. The process of welding includes the application of heat to melt the materials and add the filler material. This process is universally adopted in metal fabrication as one of the most efficient connecting processes. Owing to the adoption of welding for a comprehensive range of applications, several types of welding processes have evolved over the years. Today, there are more than 30 different welding techniques available. However, five of them are utilized for a larger scale of operations based on the requirements. This post gives insights into these five main types of welding techniques.
