“Increased sales growth and demand across
Australia has resulted in us steadily expanding the Yawei range which today includes CNC fiber lasers, tube lasers, pressbrakes, turret punch presses, guillotines and smart-factory automation solutions,” said Applied’s
Sales and Marketing Manager, Daniel Fisher.
“The value for money and performance aspect is why so many companies have opted for Yawei. The competitive price of Yawei machines has enabled many local manufacturers to bring their fabrication work back in-house. It has also allowed job shops to expand their range of services and capabilities enabling them to secure new business opportunities,”
Mr Fisher added.
Two new models recently introduced further add to the impressive line-up: a laser punch combination and a panel folder.
The new HPML Laser Punch Combination combines the forming capabilities of a turret punch press with the flexibility of a fiber laser cutter - all in the one machine. The machine features classleading components which are a hallmark of all Yawei machines; these include a Siemens 840D controller, IPG laser source and Precitec auto-focus cutting head.
“Forget tedious slow punching – companies can now boost their productivity with this versatile 2 in 1 machine. For fabricators that want to take their manufacturing to the next level, the new laser punch combination will allow them to do just that,” Mr Fisher said.
The other new Yawei model is the innovative new FB Series CNC Panel Folder which offers fast speed, high efficiency panel folding with automation options available to maximise productivity.
“These two new models will further cement Yawei’s reputation for providing Australian manufacturers with high quality precision sheetmetal machinery designed to maximise their productivity, boost quality and broaden their capabilities,” Mr Fisher went on to say.
In addition to the two new Yaweis, the recently launched Fanuci handheld fiber laser welder allows for easier, smoother and quicker welding.
Handheld laser welding machines are increasing in popularity for the many benefits they offer compared to conventional welding.
The Fanuci fiber laser welder provides high speed welding coupled with a far superior, smoother weld line. It features low heat input, small deformation, large penetration depth and good repeatability. The
More than just a pressure measurement device
Pressure transmitters are used to measure the pressure of liquids, fluids and gases in the processing industry. Also known as pressure transducers, these instruments do more than just check the pressure of the working equipment.
There are three ‘interesting’ uses of pressure measurement devices
1. Level Measurement Applications This is one of the most interesting uses of the pressure transducers.The pressure sensors can be used to measure the level of liquid in a container. If using a pressure transducer for a level measurement, the precise capacity of the container should be known, as well as the specific fluid gravity. This is due to the readings being influenced by the fluid gravity.
The high gravity fluids will influence the pressure reading per cubic inch of the fluids. Low gravity fluids, however, will have minimal impact on the reading. Size of a container will help in deciding the total volume of the container, making pressure calculation easier. By doing so, the total pressure exerted on the container can be easily calculated.
Today, pressure transducers, which are specially designed for level measurement tasks, are easily found. For instance, differential pressure transmitters are used by many companies to measure level measurement of their fluid tanks.
It is very important to keep in mind that this is not a direct level measurement method, but an inferential technique. This method can be paired with other established techniques for better results.
2. Flow Measurement There are several flow measurement devices used to measure the flow of fluid in the process industries. For example, flowmeter is one such instrument, which is used to measure the rate of some specific fluids. Pressure transducers, however, can also be used as an alternative flow measurement device.
This is done by placing the transducers on both sides of a constricted pipe section. The method helps measure the drop or rise of the flow with its increment or decrement. Also, this flow measurement closely matches the working of differential pressure flow meters.
Significantly, a repurposed pressure transmitter can only become an alternative if experiments are being made with other styles of flow measurement.
3. Filtration System Monitoring The pressure transducer is used to monitor the pressure of the filtration system. Most filtration systems retain contaminants or debris from liquid or gas which are filtered in them. With time, this affects the performance of the filter. Accumulated contaminants may block the flow of fluid or even contaminants to seep through the filter.
There are various applications where impurities cannot be allowed to pass through the filtration system. In such systems, pressure transducers can be used to monitor the pressure level in the section of pipe, which lies beyond the filtration system. By noticing a gradual pressure drop, you can understand how blocked or degraded the filtration systems are.
While all these uses are very typical, and still not in practice, it is always recommended to consult a pressure transmitter expert to understand how different pressure transmitters will help in the process.

Fanuci’s wobble welding technology ensures that operators can achieve a consistent and aesthetically pleasing weld. The quality of the weld presentation can eliminate the need to clean-up the weld with a secondary process, which in turns saves time and money.
Fanuci fiber laser welders are all manufactured to CE/TUV standards. 1000W, 1500W and 2000W models are available.
“Given its capabilities, build quality and unique features, we expect to find a ready-made market for the Fanuci fiber laser welder in Australia. Companies can now take their welding to the next level with a far superior weld, coupled with increased productivity and reduced operating costs,” said Mr Fisher.
Whilst these new products add to the impressive rage of machines that Applied distribute it is the expert advice, service back-up and support provided by Applied Machinery that has won them many new customers over the last few years.
“Our number one priority is ensuring that our customers across the country get the machinery they need, with the support they expect. We view ongoing service, training and support as critical to ensuring our customers can extract maximum return from their machinery investment,” Mr Fisher said.
“Unlike some suppliers who are here one day and gone the next, we’re here for the long term. With nearly 30 years’ experience and thousands of satisfied customers across the country we’re a true machinery partner,” Mr Fisher added.
The growing list of satisfied customers is evidenced by the portfolio of well-known engineering companies across Australia that have chosen to partner with Applied. These include JC Butko Engineering, Eilbeck Cranes, Wildcat Industries and Alliance Metal Solutions.
“One of the outcomes of the COVID pandemic is recognition of the importance of nurturing and assisting local manufacturing. We’re proud to be able to play our role in supporting Australian manufacturers with high quality, value for money products that will boost their productivity and provide them with a competitive advantage in the marketplace,” Mr Fisher concluded.
