Same-Day Rental on Pipe Welding End Preparation Tools
Esco’s Rental Tools Program puts the full line of MILLHOG I.D., COHOG O.D., and Universal Air Powered Saw and track systems into users’ hands anywhere in the U.S. The tools bevel any degree on all types of alloys in diameters up to 36 inches.
Safely Inspect Small-Diameter Tube and Pipe Welds in Real Time
Suitable for outside diameters of 0.2 to 8 inches (5 to 200 mm) and maximum bead widths of 0.4-inch (10 mm), Xiris Automation’s WI-2200 weld inspection system incorporates a Class 2 laser that won’t injure employees.
PC Software Maximizes Weld Flaw Detector’s Capabilities
Flexible and customizable WeldSight software for Olympus’ OmniScan X3 phased array flaw detector saves time and effort. In addition to advanced screening capabilities, the program enables inspectors to quickly optimize multiple tools for analyzing complex geometries.
Monitor Ensures Oxide-Free Titanium Welds in Automated Applications
Huntingdon Fusion Techniques’ updated PurgEye 500 Desk weld purge monitor is equipped with PurgeNet. The networking device connects to smart accessories including the drive system for automatic welders and orbital welders and a light accessory for visual warning.
Compact Cladding Cell Accommodates Diameters Up To 3.25 Feet
Fronius has taken a simple, compact solution for cladding applications on smaller parts and developed it for larger tasks. The all-in-one cell’s controls support two processes: TIG hot wire and a two-wire SpeedClad Twin process that’s three times faster.
Ultrasonic Spot Welder Provides Consistent High-Quality Results
Attention, electric vehicle component manufacturers! According to Emerson Automation Solutions, the Branson GMX-20 MA’s dual linear bearing design makes the actuator the most rigid and precise actuator in the ultrasonic metal welding market.
A Primer on Cobotic Welding
More than 20% of commercial welding in the United States is done by a robot, a percentage that will grow as fabricators look for ways to streamline production. Collaborative robots (cobots) make automation a cost-effective proposition even for small shops.
Specialty Purging Prevents Oxidation in CMV Steel Welds
Available in many pipe sizes, HotPurge from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT is an inflatable, specialty system designed to address the inherent challenges of keeping mechanical properties intact. Through continuous purging, it can maintain oxygen levels below 100 ppm.
Nitrogen Generation, Gas Mixing Products Reduce Costs and Floor Space
Bystronic Inc. and MSS Nitrogen Inc. partner to sell Bystronic’s Nitrocube nitrogen generation and NitrO2 gas mixing products, powered by MSS, in the North America market. Nitrocube’s nitrogen purity is 99.999%, while NitrO2 mixing can triple laser cutting speeds.
High-Force Actuators Support Robotic Sheet-Metal Welding
Tolomatic’s CSW and CSWX Compact ServoWeld welding gun actuators for robotic spot welding integrate a 3,507-lbf and 4,047-lbf, respectively, actuator into a hollow-core servo motor for faster resistant spot-weld cycles.
Cobot Simplifies and Improves Large-Pipe Welding
Requiring just 4 square feet of shop floor space, Novarc Technologies’ spool welding robot (SWR) enables inexperienced welders working on pipe spools up to 30 feet long to monitor and adjust parameters to pipe variations in real time.
