CMF February 2012 Newsletter - World of Concrete and Rebar Machines, MH413C Plate Roll
January ended with a visit to Las Vegas where CMF attended the annual World of Concrete Trade Show. This was a first timer for CMF and most probably something we will be doing every year.We were excited to introduce our new line of BNC rebar benders and cutters at the show. Since January 1, 2012 C Marshall Fabrication is the sole distributor of these well-made, extremely tough and durable rebar equipment.
We have currently show specials on three models - two cutters and one bender - all of them in stock and ready for delivery. The special pricing will run until February 28, 2012
Also coming in next month a brand new MH314C 4-roll, made in Italy by MG. We showed a similar machine at Fabtech 2011 in Chicago; now all of you who were too late for that one; you have a second chance.

CMF January 2012 Newsletter - selling our inventory
Rushing into 2012 - need the storage space - will sell inventory cheap.
I know we are still in December of 2011 but as always at this time of the year, I feel an urge into stepping into the new one. In real life that does not work but in a newsletter world it is possible.
I want to bring to your attention a couple of great deals we have going so that you can start your new year on a good note - with a great machine.
Take a look at these extraordinary prices and move fast. The prices are so low that it almost hurts. I need to move them to make room for new machines. My loss is your gain.
I also want you to know that on December 16, 2011, MG was awarded the Quality Certificate ISO9001-2008. ISO 9001:2008 specifies requirements for a quality management system where an organization

CMF December 2011 Newsletter - You Want Big! We Know Big!
In this last 2011 Newsletter I want to focus on MG's monster-sized plate rolling machines. For years MG has owned the European market and have had a very prominent presence in both Asia and the Middle East.
I think it is about time to open the eyes of the US market for the outstanding quality, durability, after-sales service and last but not least the competitive price that MG offers.
I want you to be amazed and intrigued by the size of these machines. Just imagine this; the last one sold to Spain - MG32502Z- weighed 800,000 lbs and took 17 semi-trucks to transport. The weight of the top roll alone was 116,600 lbs!
We have currently special prices on three heavy-duty MG machines. If you are on the market looking for a big plate roll, I suggest you take a very serious look at MG.

April 2011 Newsletter
Manufacturing Experts See Reasons For Optimism!
I wanted to start the April Newsletter with an optimistic note. It is obvious that something good is happening "out there". These first four (well, almost four) months of 2011 have been so much better than those of 2010; quotes are flying out the window, sales are up, there is optimism and high expectations in the market place.
To read more about this check out my "News" tab on my website by clicking NEWS FROM CMF.
Last month I introduced ERMAKSAN line for sale in my home state California and the state of Arizona where I grew up.
I also introduced you to the EZ-Seam model WT 6/14 Weld Positioner that is engineered to reduce (up to 50%) the time required to perfectly position wind tower sections prior to the welding process.
In an earlier Newsletter I brought you BENDMAK SIP and pyramid rolls and plasma burning machines as well as our rebar line of cutters and benders.
I realize that I have not given enough space for my top-selling MG brand of plate rolls (2-roll, 3-roll and angle rolls), so I will dedicate this April newsletter to MG.

CMF Newsletter March 2011
C Marshall Fabrication keeps growing!
We are very pleased to announce that since adding BENDMAK single initial pinch and pyramid rolls as well as plasma burning machines last year we are now expanding our ever growing line of top quality metal working machines with new products.
As of March 1, 2011 we added ERMAKSAN as our new supplier of a full line of press brakes, shears, laser cutting and plasma burning machines, iron workers and corner notchers. ERMAKSAN has been manufacturing metal working machinery since 1965; they make annually approximately 3000 machines in their fully modernized and equipped 861000 ft2 factory. ERMAKSAN is today the largest sheet metal working machinery factory under one roof in Europe.
Especially, we are excited to introduce the EVOLUTION Hybrid Press Brake that is environmentally friendly with its minimum 60% average energy savings compared to conventional press brakes. It is also the most silent press brake in the market (63dB).
In addition to the ERMAKSAN line we are now marketing the EZ-Seam model WT 6/14 Weld Positioner (worldwide patent pending); this machine is an innovative solution specifically engineered to dramatically reduce the time required to perfectly position wind tower sections prior to the welding process. The EZ-Seam will reduce the positioning time with over 50%!
The EZ-Seam is manufactured in the US and has been in use for more than 6 years by a leading producer of Wind Towers and has only now become available to the general public.
Last but certainly not least we do of course still carry the MG plate roll line (2-roll, 3-roll, 4-roll and angle rolls) that we consider the best plate rolls on the market today. Since 1981 they have been supplying customers with plate rolls ranging in size from .020" to 10" in thickness and 20" to 30' in length.

Touch Command EVO
The Newest Evolution in CNC Technology
MG is very proud to introduce the Touch Command EVO - the latest version of their popular CNC system completely designed and flawlessly integrated with MG machines through years of research and development. The control retains its easy to use interface on the surface of previous controls that our customers have enjoyed; however, underneath it there is an all new extremely powerful engine which delivers a precision of control never before found on a plate rolling machine. This is mainly achieved by the new closed loop system which constantly monitors the rotation and side roll positions. There are some unique challenges when it comes to designing a true CNC control for a plate rolling machine. The main challenge is the difference in yield tolerances of the material being rolled. Let’s look at A516 gr70 which is one of the most common types of steel plate used today. It has a minimum yield rating of 38,000 psi; however, it’s possible for the yield to be higher than the minimum rating, let’s say 45,000 psi for this example: Company A is receiving material that is 38,000 psi from a supplier in the Northwest and company B is receiving material from a different supplier in the Midwest that is 45,000 psi. If these two plates are rolled on the same machine using the same settings they will roll to different diameters due to the different yields even though they are both A516 gr70 plates. There is not a CNC control available that can take these differences into account and automatically adjust for them without some operator intervention. MG has taken the unique approach of designing a material library that can be adjusted to work specifically with the material you are receiving. This is done by making 3 test bends with your specific material and inputting the diameters that were actually achieved. Once this is done and the computer understands how your material reacts or springs back, it can accurately auto-generate programs of virtually any shape required with the material you adjusted the library for - round, square, triangle, elliptical, etc. If you do happen to buy material that has a slightly different yield than normally you can use the powerful corrections page which gives you the ability to adjust any section of the part you are rolling independently. The transitions on parts with more than one diameter are flawless due to the all new closed loop system that was designed to check for the correct side roll position every 0.039 inches of rotation. If the side rolls starts to deviate from the correct position during a transition the rotation will speed up or slow down automatically to ensure the transition is correct. This is crucial when rolling parts with changing diameters. There is also a completely new CAD system included which allows you to draw shapes to be rolled right on the control or if you prefer you can upload a DXF file. After your shape is loaded just choose your material and the computer will generate a program to roll your part. The number of steps in a program along with how many programs can be stored are virtually unlimited. The touch screen is easy to navigate and can be used while wearing gloves. Programs can be backed up via USB keys for easy offline storage. The CNC Touch Command EVO is the most user friendly and accurate rolling sytem ever produced for a plate roll. Thanks to the above-described closed loop system the material waste has been virtually eliminated. Technical Characteristics:- Amount of saved programs is virtually unlimited
- Amount of steps per program is virtually unlimited
- Linux operating system
- New generation mother board conforms to Rohs regulations
- Integrated graphical card with accelerated 3D hardware
- Intel Celeron Mobile 1.5 GHz CPU with lower operating temperature (optimal for industrial environments)
