Yasakawa Employee Receives 2013 ERAAW Award
Yaskawa Motoman announced that Chris Anderson is the recipient of the 2013 Excellence in Robotic and Automated Arc Welding Award.
An Intelligent Revolution in Welding
The Fronius Trans Process Solution (TPS/i) welding platform allows welders and maintenance technicians to work more efficiently and create the best quality weld for a job.
Laser Cladding Offers Unique Advantages
Here is a brief overview of high power diode laser cladding that can offer improved process throughput, superior overall clad quality, very low dilution levels, reduced heat input, minimal part distortion and better clad deposition control than most traditional technologies.
New Technology Expands Work Envelope When Using Fume Extractors
Source capture is the recommended method of fume extraction because it removes contaminated air at the source, before it reaches a welder’s breathing zone. Recent advancements in source capture technology create a much larger capture area than what’s available with existing systems and can minimize how often the welder has to move the extraction arm.
This is Not Your Grandfather’s Plasma Cutting System
My previous experience with plasma cutting happened 30 years ago and was so awful that I never wanted to use one again. I vowed then and there to never use plasma again. Then I used one of the new units from Hypertherm.
How to Increase the Speed of Your Robotic Welding System
The speed you really need to weld is all about how fast in seconds per year you can weld the parts. That is the first step in properly selecting which high speed welding process you want to use. Here are some other considerations.
Filler Metal: The Key to Welding Austenitic Stainless Steel Tube and Pipe
Welding austenitic stainless steel does present some challenges compared to welding ordinary steel piping. Special attention must be paid to the amount of heat input during welding, and beforehand when selecting filler metals. Here is a brief overview of the sizes and types of filler metals used with each welding process, as well as their pros and cons.
Multi-Process Welder Helps Beginners Weld Like a Pro
Victor Technologies launched the Tweco® Fabricator® 141i 3-in-1 welder, a multi-process welder that runs off 115V household power.
TIG Brush Wows with Superior Weld Cleaning Abilities
Ensitech’s Surface Finishing System provides welders a choice of four innovative cleaning fluids, plus dedicated fluids ranging from pre- weld preparation to finishing and marking, leaving fabricators covered at every step of the welding process.
Inverter-Based Welding Machines Provide Flexibility and Ease of Use
ESAB’s new welder uses inverter technology, which delivers significantly increased energy efficiency and superior functionality in a package that is lighter and smaller than an old SCR technology machines and competitively priced versus other AC/DC inverters.
Oxyfuel Cutting Torch Enhances Safety with Its Excellent Visibility
Victor Technologies’ ST400 straight torch features the patented contoured handle whose size and shape fits naturally in most operators’ hands.
