Jim’s Machines & Accessories

JMA will display technology to improve productivity, safety, and quality, the very factors that are required to not only compete with imported products, but to also keep costs as low as possible.

The centre of attraction will be the latest Table Spot Welding Machine from Japan, featuring “High Speed Welding Technology” allowing the capability of stronger welds without oxidization of the outer surfaces. Clean oxidization free welds in stainless steel are achievable with this patented technology. Equipped with the latest touch screen control, this machine makes its worldwide debut at AMW 23. Welds can be evaluated as we will display our simplified spot weld testing machine with reporting capability.

From Loewer Germany we will exhibit 2 machines from their extensive range of deburring, edge rounding, and surface finishing machines. The first will be the original SwingGrinder, developed by Loewer to bridge the gap between manual deburring and edge rounding of laser cut or punched metal workpieces and automatic through feed machines. The SwingGrinder can perform both tasks in a single setup. Both small and large workpieces can be processed, and the process is very safe for the operator, requiring minimal skill and effort. Processing parts using the SwingGrinder from Loewer is easily 3-4 times faster than the standard manual methods and safer. As well, we will debut the Loewer MiniSpin at AMW. The MiniSpin was developed using “disc” technology, to provide a very safe and effective way to remove laser lead in and micro joint tags. Excellent and consistent results are achieved by unskilled operators. Loewer are a leading manufacturer of fully automatic machines as well, including the patented “orbital finishing with disc” technology and we will have information available on our stand.

From Thomas Welding Systems we will display the Nomark 65+ aluminium capable CD stud welding machine, a proven performer from a leading European manufacturer. Great welding results that are consistent is a feature of the Nomark models. Thomas also produces arc stud welding machines for all applications.

From ERSM, also a machine not exhibited before is the latest model of “wheel up” CNC work follower for press brakes. Affordable with excellent specifications, our followers can be used with all types of press brakes including up stroke machines. The follower can be shared with multiple presses and is quick to setup. Providing safety, productivity and quality improvement, this machine also provides consistency by eliminating the mishandling of larger, awkward workpieces. From Australia, we present the iCON Press Brake Control and System upgrade, available for all brands of press brake. We strip the existing electricals, control, software, and guards and replace them with brand new technology, turning older machines into productive workhorses for a fraction of the cost of a new machine. With touch screen operation, and software features not found on older controls, improved productivity and safety provide a quick return on investment.

Also displaying our range of press brake die mark prevention products from Japan, as well as dies for preventing bend lines.
