Faccin 3DP2521 Plate Bending Roll
M&M Dallas enhances their fabrication capabilities with their recent acquisition of a new Faccin 3DP2521, 3 Roll Double Pinch Plate Bending Roll. The unit can handle 3/8” thick material up to 8’ long and has a Cone Rolling Attachment.
The DP3 is the latest evolution of the traditional three roll double pinch plate bending machine. It has been designed to cover the needs of the fabrication shop: Strength, User Friendliness, and Versatility. FACCIN’s experience in manufacturing heavy and super-heavy duty machines is applied to the design of the DP3 series of plate rolls.
The DP3 series is the most precise 3 roll machine in its category. The RGS design reduces to a minimum the distance between the bending points guaranteeing higher bending accuracy.
The MCS bearing system, incorporating 4 independent bearings for each bending roll is a standard feature of the DP3. It guarantees higher reliability (higher capacity of load absorption) and increases the range for tilting the side rolls, resulting in more versatility, when rolling cones.
The Ultra wide roll supports with lubrication circuit are mounted over the slides to prevent wear and tear.
Another important standard feature to increase the versatility of the machine is the roll shaft extensions to allow dies to be fitted to bend profile and pipe.
The very high rotation power is a guarantee of the DP3’s superior rolling torque and speed, available without loss of energy as all three rolls are driven independently by hydro-motors and gearboxes directly coupled to the rolls shafts.
Standard Configuration:
- Linear slides for roll movement
- Ultra wide roll supports
- 4 independent bearings on bending rolls
- Three independently driven rolls
- Full hydraulic power
- Metric scales for rolls positioning
- Front swing console with handle
- Lubrication circuit
- Emergency stop button
- Safety Guard cable

NTC Laser Cutting System
Continuing its’ commitment to advanced manufacturing technology, M&M’s Dallas shop has recently added an NTC America Corporation model TLZ-510, an ultra-high speed 2-dimensional, 3-axis laser system with dual pallet changer and flying optics provides high-speed cutting, flexibility and precision for 3-axis laser cutting of a variety of materials.
With cutting feed rates to 1,575 inches per minute and rapid feed rates to 3,739 inches per minute, the TLZ provides the speed for virtually any high-production cutting. The TLZ dual-pallet changer allows for quick set up time and flexible cutting operations. Robust construction and stability provide for high repeatability, positioning accuracy and consistent cutting action. The 3,300 watt system can cut a maximum sheet size of 60” x 120” with a positioning accuracy of 0.002”.
Calypso WaterJet System
The commercial products division in Dallas has added a Calypso WaterJet Cutting System to their fabricating capabilities. The waterjet is capable of cutting very large parts with outstanding precision, as well as cutting small parts of any shape from virtually any material.
The unit cuts all grades of steel, stainless and any alloy up to 6″ thick. Aluminum can be cut without causing harm to the material in any way, no discoloration or warping. Materials like glass, plexi-glass and even bullet proof glass can be cut regardless of shape, leaving a smooth sanded edge finish. Even wood can be cut with great precision, perfect for counter tops or unusual shapes, will cut through laminated wood without harm to laminate.
The Calypso WaterJet Cutting System is capable of producing 5 different cut qualities. The fastest speeds are used for non-showing edges and edges requiring hand processing of some type. The best quality is used for miter edges or moving right to polishing pads. Accuracy of +/- .003″ can be provided.
Finn-Power C5 Compact Express
M&M Products has added a new Finn-Power C5 Compact Express high-performance turret punch press to its arsenal of technology. This increase in production capacity reconfirms M&M Products’ commitment their customers in quality and performance.
Finn-Power touts the C5 as a “new era in high-performance turret punch press by the pioneer in hydraulic turret punch presses. In modern, flexible manufacturing, jobs vary, and so should machine tools. Compact Express offers four-in-one capacity for different manufacturing tasks.”
M&M Products’ C5 is a 33 ton hydraulic turret punch press. Sheet capacity is 50” x 100” (50” x 200” with repositioning). The turret has 20 stations capable of holding over 120 tools. The maximum punch diameter is 3 ½”. The C5 is equipped with full brush tables providing better material support during operation, reducing noise and helping to prevent surface scratches.

Fusion Arc 400L
The Fusion Arc 400L is a pre-configured robotic welding cell with four (4) individual weld stations. The large surface area and table layout utilizes a high percentage of the welding robot’s functional envelope. This increased space combined with multiple fixtures results in less set-up time, especially in short-run applications.
M&M choose the AX-V6L high speed manipulator. It is a long arm welding robot, with an extended reach over 78” which provides an optimum solution for welding large work pieces.
The AC MIG 200 Power Source minimizes risk of burn-through of ultra thin materials when welding thicknesses less than .030”. The controller provides four process modes for maximum penetration control of AC Pulses, DC Pulses, AC Wave Pulse and DC Wave Pulse.
Utilized primarily by M&M Products Division, the robotic welding cell is another example of M&M’s commitment to advanced technology in sheet metal fabrication. This commitment ensures high quality products at a competitive price.
