Punch Press Tooling from Rate Precision Tooling
Maxitec has made some strategic decisions in its offering and would like to announce that we are no longer selling tooling from Mate Precision Tooling. After feedback from many of our customers, we took on the challenge to find the latest emerging player in the international punch press tooling market. Read the rest of this entry »
Sheetmetal fabrication – entry level, compact, turret punch press
E6x Compact Express
An entry level sheetmetal fabrication machine that provides excellent levels of sophistication has been brought to Australia by Maxitec Pty Ltd. E6x Compact Express is an easy-to-use modular system, is compact, but not cost prohibitive to those requiring high technology at entry level point.
Developed by Prima Power E6x (formerly trading as Finn-Power) is a servo-electric turret punch press, it has an option to be connected to a storage tower in the 1500mm-3000mm size, therefore facilitating complete hands-free automation once sheetmetal is loaded. Read the rest of this entry »
Overnight unmanned fabrication – multiple parts cutting
Totally unmanned ‘lights-out’ production is happening a precision sheetmetal components manufacturer in Queensland.
Since adding a Prima Power LC6 with laser sorting robot to its plant line-up, Samin Sheet Metal has upped production by about 30% and ensured greater control of it accuracy in production. This is unmanned fabrication in action. Read the rest of this entry »
Fabricating with composites – nesting software, cost effective
JETCAM Composite Cutting
Optimising your nesting is the only way to achieve cost effiencies with expensive composites. Australian sheetmetal machinery specialist Maxitec says there is only one software that is capable of providing this – JETCAM.
Now the arrival of Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner to the world’s commercial air market is arguably the first signal that composite materials have moved beyond military applications and Formula 1 racing and into the mainstream market. JETCAM was there to help make it happen. Read the rest of this entry »
Fabrication Software Wins Formula 1 Time Trial
“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.

Metal working: the pros and cons between brakes and benders
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 »
