Lincoln Electric Introduces HyperFill RA as the Latest Evolution in Twin-Wire Welding
The HyperFill lineup expansion includes new robotic and heavy fabrication innovations.
Posted: September 29, 2024
Lincoln Electric® is excited to announce the latest evolution of the HyperFill® Twin-Wire Welding Solution with expansion of the new HyperFill RA for increased travel speeds, improved cycle times and added throughput for automated welding.
HyperFill technology combined with RapidArc® waveform allows for tighter and more focused arcs with increased travel speeds of up to 58% compared to traditional CV or pulse single wire processes in automotive and heavy fabrication industries. HyperFill technology requires only a single power source, feeder, gun liner, contact tip, and arc, making it easy to use and providing maximum ROI.
“HyperFill RA gives the appeal of running like a single wire GMAW operation but with the travel speed of running twin wires,” said Kevin Fleming, Global Industry Segments – Automotive Manager. “In the world of automation, our customers are looking for ways to increase travel speed without adding the complexity of tandem MIG or additional equipment.”
HyperFill RA benefits include:
- Increased travel speeds up to 58%.
- Ideal for smaller fillet and lap weld sizes (6mm and less).
- Reduced capital equipment cost.
- Deliver improved cycle times and throughput in automated welding.
“On the heavy fabrication side, customers who had weld size limitations with standard HyperFill can now expand the work envelope with HyperFill RA to weld smaller weld sizes, a true game changer for increased productivity,” stated Lou Mendoza, Global Segment Director – Heavy Fabrication. “Expanding equipment / solutions capabilities is a key advantage.”
Overall, HyperFill RA technology offers significant advantages for welding in the automotive and heavy fabrication industries. While its ease of use and reduced equipment costs make it an attractive option for businesses looking to improve their welding processes, operators can increase their productivity and maximize ROI with faster and more precise welding.
