Huron Fabrication, based in Cudahy, Wisconsin, prides itself on taking complex projects from concept to completion for a wide range of industries. According to CEO Erik Schimelfenyg, “It’s not about being in the middle of the manufacturing process, it’s about being at the center of creating something great.” This includes everything from elegant residential bridges to rocket engine components to military-grade armor fabrications. Whatever project is on the production line at Huron, you’ll find equipment from Cincinnati Inc. (CI) at the heart of it.

Cincinnati Incorporated (CI), a U.S.-based, build-to-order machine tool manufacturer, has developed and released a load calculator app that lets users figure out the press brake tonnage required to air bend a certain piece of metal. The app, called CI Load Calc, is available now for iOS and Android, and it’s compatible with all makes and models of press brakes and press brake tooling.

One of the reasons we understand the needs of our customers so well is that, like them, we are in metal fabrication ourselves. As makers of metal fabrication products, we face many of the same challenges that they do on a daily basis. Our goal is to help them increase productivity and efficiency in their businesses by providing the best possible machines, tooling and engineering support possible.

CINCINNATI makes some of the finest press brakes in the world. That being said, if you don’t have tooling to put into the machine, no metal is going to be formed today. It’s like a drill without a drill bit – pretty much useless. For that reason, we make sure the reputation of our press brake tooling matches that of our machines.

CINCINNATI has been around since the 1890s, and we’ve been working hard in southwest Ohio for the duration. As the decades have passed, it’s become a rarity to find an American manufacturing company still producing on U.S. soil.

For a quarter century, Tom Racicot has been a welder. The first 15 years of his career was spent at a welding company, where he learned the ropes and ultimately gained enough expertise that he hit his ceiling. As it turned out, he had just as much passion and talent for hands-on fabrication as he did for welding.

So in 2011, he set off on his own and opened T.R. Welding & Fabrication out of his garage. The Wappingers Falls, NY company welds steel, aluminum and stainless, and it provides custom welding, structural steel, aluminum and mobile welding services. Starting the company was riskier than staying put, but Tom didn’t think twice about it. His talent spoke for itself.

If your to-do list has “Find a better way to monitor manufacturing production data” on it, you’ve got yourself a must-read page, friend. CIberDash, an Industry 4.0 solution from Cincinnati Incorporated, allows real-time monitoring and daily log files of production data from your lasers and press brakes.

The No. 88 Cincinnati team rolled off the truck strong on Friday afternoon and the team continued to show speed throughout the weekend. Alex Bowman qualified third for Sunday’s 400-mile event at Auto Club Speedway. Shortly after taking the green flag, the driver was shuffled back into the fourth position on Lap 3. Just two laps later, Bowman advanced two positions and was running second. Throughout the first 10 laps of the 200-lap event, the top four drivers continued to battle for position lap after lap.

A few months ago, Larry Allen, Spray Finisher Here at Cincinnati Incorporated, noticed our spray texturing process was not as consistent and quick as it could be. As a result, he decided to refine the process to make it less time consuming and costly. He did all this with no direction from management; this was just pure initiative. Today, we’re going to tell you how he did it.

E.K. Machine Company started out 50 years ago as a small machine and fabrication shop. Since then, they have grown into a full-service supplier of quality steel components and assemblies to the agriculture, construction, food processing, oil/gas and transportation industries. The company also depends on the finest technology for quality, speed and productivity. That’s where CINCINNATI enters the story.
