Greetings!

Kevin Wigington
General Manager |
We are pleased to announce a change in our forming sales team. Effective April 1, 2012, Lloyd Keller has agreed to focus his efforts exclusively on the Regional Sales Manager responsibilities for the Eastern North American territory. (Eastern U.S. & Canada) For the last several years, Lloyd has been burdened with covering the Eastern territory while also acting as National Sales Manager. This has been a lot to ask of one person but Lloyd has worked tirelessly to meet the demands. In order to take the Fabrication Division to a higher level, a decision has been made to have separate personnel focus on each of the positions Lloyd was covering. Lloyd's true strength lies in his ability to create relationships with customers, his extensive knowledge of the forming products and his intimate knowledge of the eastern territory. By focusing on his existing territory, we feel this is a positive move for Lloyd and will bring the greatest immediate advantage for our sales efforts. Best regards,

It was great to see our customer, Overlanders Manufacturing, featured in the March/April edition of A2Z Metalworker Magazine. Overlanders is a leading edge, high-tech fabricator of tubular and precision sheet metal assemblies located in Abbotsford, BC, Canada.
In 2010, Overlanders purchased a Motorum 2548 turret punch along with a FG-1250 loader to bolster their productivity.
We hope you will take a moment to read about Overlanders's successful operation and the positive impact Muratec automation has had on their business.

Adding Value to Your Parts
Part Tabbing
By Don Angel - Applications Engineer
Issue: You want to nest parts on a larger sheet size. This allows improved machine production and possibly improved material costs using standard sheet sizes. But, the tabbing of parts in a "shake-n-break" is troublesome and affects edge quality. If not programmed properly, parts fall out during operation and wire tabs present a hazard.
Solution: Mate Precision Tool (mate.com) provides several tools that allow reliable nesting of parts and result in good edge quality. These tools can help with nesting of parts in thin to thick material.
 | |
Mate EasySnap |
The Mate EasySnap™ tool allows a large tab to be created that is scored by this tool. The part remains very stable in the nest, but is easily removed by the operator. The scoring also leaves a burr free edge. This tool is effective on material from .024" ~ .060" thick.
 | | Mate EasySnap |
The Mate Square EasySnap™ tool is similar to the tool above, but provides four scoring edges. This allows the flexibility of creating tabs on any side of a part as well as creating a tab between nested parts with a common punching edge. The material specifications are the same.
