Filter by Process Zone:
SELF-SHIELDED FLUX-CORED GUN WITHSTANDS ABUSE, INCREASES COMFORT
Ideal for demanding and harsh construction, shipbuilding and heavy manufacturing applications, the Dura-Flux™ gun from Bernard can be configured with multiple cable lengths, necks, contact tip insulators and direct plugs to meet the needs of nearly any flux-cored application.
MIG GUN FOR NON-INDUSTRIAL WELDERS
Perfect for farm, garage, hobby/DIY, artistic metal working, small job shops, maintenance and repair applications, these durable Tweco Weldskill MIG guns from Thermadyne® Industries use a patent-pending design that provides light-duty welders with attractive value pricing.
PLASMA TORCHES ARE MORE HEAT RESISTANT, WITHSTAND GREATER IMPACT
Duramax™ retrofit plasma torches from Hypertherm can withstand impacts five times greater than the previous generation of torches and are more heat resistant so they can easily conquer the most demanding job in robotic and pipe-cutting applications.
ADVANCED PROCESS WIRE FEEDER FOR ALUMINUM FABRICATION
Ideal for aluminum fabrication, high-alloy construction, shipbuilding and pipeline welding, the compact Power Feed® 25M wire feeder from Lincoln Electric is push-pull capable for premium aluminum wire feeding with a push-pull gun.
COMPACT CONSTRUCTION WIRE FEEDERS
Ideal for ironworking, fabrication, shipyards, rental companies, pipeline and construction, the LN-25 Pipe and LN-25 Ironworker® wire feeders from Lincoln Electric are simple to operate, reliable and easy to service.
MATRIX METAL-CORED WIRE SIZE FOR WELDING THICKER MATERIALS
Ideal for high-volume robotic welding in heavy equipment manufacturing, Matrix™ metal-cored wire from Hobart Brothers uses a special formulation for uncompromised arc starting, wire feeding consistency, excellent seam tracking and touch sensing.
FILET WELD GRINDER IDEAL FOR FINISHING VARIOUS METALS
The easy to maneuver, light-weight KNSE 12-150 extended nose grinder from Metabo can finish and polish hard-to-access fillet welds typically found on handrails or inside welds on enclosed areas.
PORTABLE DC WELDERS HANDLE COMPLETE RANGE OF STICK AND TIG JOBS
With greater versatility and amperage range than anything else on the market in their price range, the 95S, 161S, 161STL, and 201TS DC welders from Thermal Arc® handle a wide range of stick or TIG jobs at an incomparable value.
ROBOTIC MIG GUNS IMPROVE WELDING RELIABILITY AND WIRE TOUCH SENSING
Water-cooling enables these TOUGH GUN™ G2 Series Robotic MIG guns from Tregaskiss to run cooler and last longer, while a Wire Brake is used in conjunction with wire touch sensing to help determine the location of weld joints.
WELD CLEANING BRUSHES LOWER COSTS IN PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION
DUALLY™ stringer-bead wheels from Weiler make the pipeline construction practice of periodically switching the mounting position in order to maintain the speed and effectiveness of weld cleaning brushes much easier.
3-AXIS DRILLING, MARKING AND SAWING TECHNOLOGY
The BeamCenter CNC 1200 from KNUTH Machine Tools performs fast and efficient drilling with 3-axis machining and 4-station tool changers per spindle. It has a maximum 47 in x 31 in sawing capacity with a wide swivel range of +60 deg/minus 45 deg.
HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY WITH MULTI-HEAD CNC ROUTERS
These AXYZ Series machines from AXYZ International can have one or two carriages, each with up to three cutting heads mounted on independently controlled Z axes all driven by precision ballscrews. Multiple spindles mounted on the same carriage can be setup to operate together or each head could be fitted with different tooling and configured to cut independently of the other heads.
