FABTECH 2019: Welding (Part Two)

FABTECH 2019 is North America’s largest collaboration of technology, equipment and knowledge in the metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing industry. This event takes place November 11-14 at the McCormick Place in Chicago, where more than 1,700 exhibitors and 48,000 attendees will have full access to special events, presentations, educational sessions and live demonstrations of the latest technology and integrated solutions, along with one-on-one exchanges with exhibitors and networking with industry leaders. There will also be opportunities to attend keynote presentations, discussions on key industry issues that influence manufacturing, and more. Here are some more of the welding tools, machinery and products that will be exhibited to help you navigate the show floor and manage your time while you’re there:

Advanced Capacitor Discharge Welders
LinearWave Capacitor Discharge Welders from Dengensha America are ideal for welding high strength steel, aluminum, and large projection and ring projection parts.

Offline Synchronous Motion Programming of Multiple Robots
FASTSUITE Edition 2 from CENIT enables the efficient and safe programming and simulation of cooperated robot teams, especially of robot cells where multiple robots are working simultaneously on workpieces that are dynamically moved by workpiece positioners.

IoT-Based Remote Sensing Service to Monitor Industrial Dust Collectors
Subscribers to this service from Donaldson Torit receive real-time issue detection and alerts to help reduce unscheduled maintenance.

Industrial Ventilation Control System Cuts Electricity Costs
This system from Ecogate saves users 68 percent on fume/dust/mist collection system electricity costs by monitoring what their machines are doing at all times and adjusting their ventilation so they only receive suction where needed, when needed, in real-time.

Filler Metals and Consumables that Improve Welding Performance
ESAB provides Dual Shield Prime Flux-cored wires for impact toughness, better performance, OK AristoRod 38 Zn for solid MIG wire for galvanized steels, and longer-lasting Cutmaster Black Series plasma consumables.

High-Productivity Industrial Abrasives for Portable Power Tools
Resin-bonded abrasive cutting wheels, grinding wheels and coated abrasive flap discs from Flexovit improve power tool surface conditioning operations.

Tandem Welding System Increases Efficiency
The TPS/i TWIN Push high-performance tandem welding system from Fronius delivers higher deposition rates, higher welding speeds and increased production efficiency through reduced needs for pre-fabrication and rework.

Highly Productive Cutting of Large Pipe Diameters and Heavy Weights
Extremely robust SPC 1500-3000 Pipe Cutting Machines from HGG guarantee precision cutting tolerances during the cutting of handle large pipe diameters and heavy weights for fabricating vessels and offshore production.

High-Speed Arc Welding Robots Boost Productivity
AR-series six-axis robots from Yaskawa provide optimized acceleration/deceleration control for all robot axes, with the highest payload, fastest speed and highest wrist allowable moment in their class.

Unbreakable High-Heat Guard Boots Break the Ground, Not Your Feet
New Groundbreaker boots from Iron Age Footwear add extra puncture protection with higher comfort for scrapyards, fabrication shops, waste piles and floors littered with slag and sharp steel.

Cost-Effective Flexible Arc Welding Automation Systems
For cost-effective arc welding, the flexible BA006L arc welding robot from Kawasaki Robotics quickly integrates into current processes as part of a customizable pre-engineered robotic cell.

Fiber Discs Offer Faster Cut Rates in Carbon Steel & Soft-to-Grind Materials
Next generation Norton BlazeX F970 Fiber Discs from Saint-Gobain Abrasives enable faster rust removal and enhanced cleaning and detailing processes for better finishes.

All Position Welding and Cutting Travel Carriage
The digitally-controlled, rail-mounted Rail Runner LT travel carriage from Steelmax mechanizes welding and thermal cutting processes for extremely economical welding and cutting applications on flat or curved plate, tube and pipe.

Cobot Welding Tool Boosts Productivity Amid the Shortage of Skilled Labor
Powered by a UR10e collaborative robot from Universal Robots, the Vectis Cobot Welding Tool from reduces the learning curve, setup time, risk, and cost of robotic welding.
