 Press Releases

  • Fabrication Solutions & Technologies (FST) will feature the innovative Upmoviom Long Material (LM) Storage System at this year’s FABTECH, highlighting a transformative solution for the storage and handling of long products such as tubing, bar, pipe, beams, and profiles.

    Upmoviom’s LM system is unlike anything currently available on the market. Built to address long-standing inefficiencies in traditional racking systems, the LM system features a unique front-extraction design that allows a single operator to safely and quickly retrieve materials—without forklifts, ladders, or other unsafe methods. This design significantly reduces handling time, improves operator safety, and creates a more organized, accessible workspace.

    With space at a premium in most fabrication environments, the LM system enables high-density vertical storage that optimizes floor space while maintaining full visibility and access to each material type. The modular system is fully customizable and configurable to accommodate varying lengths, weights, and cross-sections of stored materials. Whether the inventory consists of uniform profiles or mixed shapes and sizes, LM shelves can be tailored to fit each application.

    Key features of the LM Storage System include:

    • Safe, ergonomic front-facing material access

    • Up to 80% reduction in handling time

    • Vertical, space-saving design with customizable shelves

    • Manual or automated operation

    • Integration capabilities with WMS and barcode systems

    • Rugged construction for industrial environments

    In its automated configuration, the LM system can be integrated into broader material handling and inventory management workflows, providing enhanced efficiency, real-time tracking, and error reduction. Automation also minimizes the need for multiple operators, allowing facilities to reallocate labor to other high-value tasks.

    Ideal for steel service centers, metal fabricators, machine shops, and industrial manufacturers, the LM Storage System helps facilities reclaim wasted space, reduce material damage, and improve operational flow.

    FABTECH attendees are invited to visit FST’s booth A6325 to learn more about the Upmoviom LM Storage System, explore its full range of configurations, and discover how it can be customized to meet the specific demands of their facility.

  • Fabrication Solutions & Technologies (FST) is bringing the next generation of precision forming to FABTECH with a spotlight on one of the most advanced innovations in the metal fabrication industry: the HAEUSLER EVO 4-Roll Plate Roll with Autonomous Bending. This system is designed to eliminate guesswork, improve safety, and bring true automation to the plate rolling process—offering fabricators a clear path forward in a competitive, labor-constrained market.

    Visitors to Booth A6325, home of the FST Saloon, will get an up-close look at the EVO system’s autonomous capabilities in action. Built for demanding applications and high-mix production environments, the EVO Plate Roll leverages intelligent sensors, closed-loop feedback, and real-time control to adjust rolling parameters on the fly—without requiring continuous operator input.

    The result? Faster setup, repeatable quality, and reduced dependence on highly skilled labor.


    Autonomous Bending: Precision Without the Learning Curve

    HAEUSLER’s Autonomous Bending system is revolutionizing how fabricators approach plate rolling. By using automated feedback loops to detect material behavior during bending, the machine dynamically corrects for variables such as thickness, strength, springback, and even batch inconsistencies. Once the operator selects the part type, the EVO system takes full control of the bending sequence.

    Traditional rolling processes often rely on trial-and-error and years of operator experience. Autonomous Bending changes that. It ensures consistent output from the very first part—minimizing scrap, improving throughput, and lowering the barrier to entry for new operators.

    This breakthrough is ideal for companies looking to improve their capacity, tackle more complex geometries, or standardize quality across shifts and production runs.


    Intelligent Control with BENDtronic®

    At the heart of Autonomous Bending is HAEUSLER’s BENDtronic® control system—a proprietary software platform designed to make precision rolling more accessible and visual. With a user-friendly touchscreen interface, BENDtronic allows operators to select pre-programmed shapes or enter custom dimensions, then simulates the full bending sequence in real time.

    BENDtronic calculates ideal roll positions, adjusts for material-specific springback, and stores job data for repeat orders. It even offers remote diagnostics and support options, reducing downtime and optimizing machine availability.

    Together, BENDtronic and Autonomous Bending form a comprehensive control ecosystem that simplifies complex operations while maintaining high-performance output.


    A Must-See at the FST Saloon – Booth A6325

    There’s no better place to explore this groundbreaking technology than at the FST Saloon—FST’s signature booth experience at FABTECH. Located at Booth A6325, the Saloon brings together serious equipment, industry expertise, and western hospitality in one unforgettable space.
