Filter by Process Zone:
Welding Lab Services Optimize User Processes
SKS Welding Systems labs use robot rotary tilting table combinations to simulate almost any conceivable component position so that all arc welding processes can be simulated in a very short time, and different torch and wear part geometries are examined for accessibility studies on the actual workpiece.
Weld Camera Starter Kit for Remote Process Monitoring
The Weld Camera starter kit from Xiris Automation includes the XVC-1000 High Dynamic Range (HDR) weld camera, a collection of optics, mounting hardware, power supplies and cables all packed in a convenient plastic case for easy storage and transport.
Digital Multi-Tool for Welding Gas Applications
Also available in Spanish and French, the free iGASES app from Witt has an inert gas advisor that recommends the appropriate gas composition for various welding methods and metals, including pressure, volume, flowrate, temperature, mass and other parameters.
Extended Reach Robot Arm Increases Productivity in Welding on Large Parts
The versatile 3.3 m extended reach robot arm from Miller Electric reduces stopping on longer welds, eliminating the need to reposition the robot and generating more arc-on time for improved efficiency and productivity.
Innovative Automated Technology Increases Efficiency in Aluminum Welding
Ideal for manufacturers of trains, road tankers and chemical tanks, shipbuilding and aerospace components, the ARCLINE PP automated welding process from Linde Gases features a positively energized tungsten electrode for constant cathodic cleaning of the welding area to reduce the risk of inclusions and minimize the need for pre-weld cleaning.
Robotic Cold Metal Transfer Welding
The intelligent, modular TPS/i Robotics power source from Fronius can now be equipped with the extremely stable Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) welding process that significantly reduces the heat input and enables continuous regulation from cold to hot for an extremely stable arc and much less spatter, even at high welding speeds.
Coldwater Machine Launches New Website, Joins RIA
Their redesigned website adapts to any device, and they join the Robotic Industries Association as a Gold Member systems integrator.
How to Weld Stainless Steel with Keyhole TIG
This high speed, full penetration GTAW technology offers enormous productivity, cost and quality advantages over existing processes in stainless steels and other corrosion resistant materials. It requires no edge beveling, uses as little as 10 percent of the gas normally required, and produces highly repeatable, X-ray quality welds with superb cap and root aesthetics.
RIA Partners with OSHA and NIOSH
The new alliance will focus on communication and education for best practices in robot safety.
To Improve the Bottom Line, Disrupt the Norm
It’s the classic risk/return trade-off: Changing to new welding processes or procedures can be difficult, but the shop that is willing to accept some level of risk can increase their profitability and gain a competitive edge through reduced costs, better quality, improved productivity and shortened project timelines.
U.S. Steel and Kobe Steel Invest in Advanced High-Strength Steel Capabilities
They are spending $400 million on a new continuous galvanizing line at PRO-TEC Coating Company, their joint venture in Ohio.
Robotic Workcells for Low to Medium Runs of Small, Medium and Large Parts
The modular ArcWorld 2000 workcell from Yaskawa America is specifically designed for the robotic welding of large parts, while the ArcWorld 200 and ArcWorld 500 welding systems are versatile workhorses for small- to medium-sized parts or medium-volume production runs.
