Welding Equipment for the Tough Jobs

Heavy industrial welding demands higher productivity through higher deposition rates, lower defect rates and fewer grinding and finishing tasks. Here is a review of some of the latest equipment to meet those demands and get the job done right.

Posted: March 27, 2016

Ideal for construction, structural steel, mining maintenance, pipe welding, and maintenance and repair rigs, the new Big Blue 600 Pro welder/generator from Miller Electric uses a more powerful EPA Tier 4 Final-compliant engine to tackle jobs requiring high-output for welding, gouging and auxiliary power. Its improved arc characteristics, adjustable arc control, wireless remote compatibility and other key upgrades improve the ease of use, safety and performance.

Welding and Gouging in Heavy Industrial Work
The Big Blue 600 Pro from Miller Electric has an EPA Tier 4 Final–compliant engine to tackle tough jobs that require high output for welding, gouging and auxiliary power in the U.S market.

Premium Feeding for Construction and Field Welding
These advanced wire feeders from ESAB are ideal for ship/barge, off-shore and construction applications where operators change welding parameters, use hotter settings for welding in the flat position and cooler settings for welding vertical up.

Mobile Welding in Construction and Factories
The compact, portable TPS 270i C PULSE and TPS 320i C PULSE power sources from Fronius are ideal for fab shops, metal service centers and construction sites.

Submerged Arc Welding Flux for Chrome-Moly Steels
The SWX 160 flux from Hobart Brothers helps meet X-factor requirements, along with providing excellent impact toughness to further ensure weld performance in high-strength applications.

Welding and Gouging in Mining and Repair
Lincoln Electric’s Air Vantage 650 enables users to gouge using up to ½ in carbons with the built-in air compressor and weld using up to 0.120 in Innershield cored wires and 3/32 in Lincore hardfacing cored wires.

Consumables for Harsh Industrial Work
Stoody nickel-based tungsten carbide consumables from ESAB offer a wide range of tailored hardfacing and high alloy joining solutions to address wear caused by abrasion, impact, corrosion and heat.

Utility Tools for Construction and Maintenance Work
Uniweld Products offers the HT44 Twister2 Self Igniting Swirl Combustion Hand Torch, WB500 Scorcher Propane Gas Torch Kit, and 830-21 Tube Mix Hand Cutting Torch.

Demanding Manual Cutting and Gouging Work
The Victor PAK 200i system from ESAB has accidental tip-to-work piece contact so that the current will fold back to 35 amps to ensure that the tip is not damaged, dramatically extending tip life.
