FABTECH 2016: Welding (Part Two)

North America’s largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event heads to the Las Vegas Convention Center on November 16-18 to provide a convenient ‘one stop shop’ venue for meeting with world-class suppliers, seeing the latest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing products and developments, and finding the tools you need to improve productivity, increase profits and discover new solutions to all of your needs. Here is some of the equipment that will be exhibited in the Welding pavilion:

Free Online Interactive Training for Robot Programmers
The UR Academy basic training program from Universal Robots is comprised of six hands-on e-learning modules that use interactive simulations to maximize engagement with users.

Fixed Height Trunnions
Powered Trunnion and Cantilever Trunnion sets with powered heads from ALM Positioners can handle radial loads up to 21,600 lb.

Advanced Welding and Safety Equipment That Increase Profits
New power sources, welding automation, and Welding Intelligence applications from Miller Electric improve shop productivity, quality and profits.

Heavy-Duty Tool Cart for the Job Site
The customized American Flag Mobile Tool Cart from Strong Hold Products is a heavy-duty workhorse for transporting tools and maintenance equipment.

Space-Saving Dust Collector for Robotic Welding
The compact Spire dust collector from RoboVent allows robotic welding facilities to meet air quality regulations without losing too much floor space.

Tough Structural Acrylic Adhesives Replace Mechanical Fastening
New 850 and 852 Toughened Structural Acrylic Adhesives from LORD can replace welding, brazing, riveting and other mechanical fastening methods in low- and high-temperature environments and applications that are subject to high impact, high-peel loads or high fatigue.

Digital Induction Bearing Heaters Extend Bearing Life
Portable, digitally controlled and CE certified PV2412, PVH3813 and SVH5223 units from Bessey Tools easily set the temperature and time, and automatically demagnetize the bearings during the process.

Heavyweight Modular Drive Welding System
The Heavyweight MDS from BUG-O Systems lifts upward of 180 lb in the vertical Z-axis direction without the need of additional gearboxes or other load sharing devices.

Surface Finishing Solutions for Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals
The PTX Eco Smart, VARLIEX WSF 1800, and PIPE-MAX grinding and finishing equipment from CS Unitec can remove welds, deep scratches, oxidation, rust and paint and produce a mirror finish on steel, stainless steel and other non-ferrous metals.
