Eight Ways to Improve Welding Productivity Using a Weld Camera
An automated welding environment can be too congested or dangerous for operators to directly monitor the welding tip while under operation. How can they properly monitor the welding process remotely?
Purging and Monitoring Systems for Welding Pipework in Power Stations
COB Industries offers the HFT HotPurge system with glass treated silicone cloth that resist temperatures up to 1,400 deg F, and the lightweight, portable HFT PurgEye 300 Plus gas analyzer that measures oxygen levels down to 1 ppm.
Welding Equipment for Pipe and Tube Fabrication on the Jobsite
The Dynasty 280 DX with CV from Miller Electric includes Auto-Line technology and can TIG weld 0.012 in to 3/8 in aluminum and 0.004 in to 3/8 in steel with superior arc performance. It can TIG weld with AC waveforms, including advanced squarewave, soft squarewave, sine wave and triangular wave.
How a Welding System Conversion Increased Production at Exterran by 30 Percent
Take a closer look at how a welding process conversion and equipment standardization in their Brittmoore pipe shop in Houston helped to significantly increase productivity and improve on already-high weld passage rates in only a few months.
Laser Welding Lines for Powertrain Components
Based on their standard laser welding modules, Coldwater Machine Company customizes each system to suit specific application requirements.
Robots and Automation Shatter Records in North America
Robotics, machine vision, and motion control applications gave reached their highest levels of growth ever.
Laser Welding that Forgives Imperfections
FusionLine technology in the new TruLaser Weld 5000 laser welding cell from TRUMPF overcomes part imperfections when welding by closing gaps up to 0.04 in wide, with welding seam results and process times that significantly outperform conventional welding techniques.
Fully Automatic Multi-Gun Resistance Welder
This multi-gun resistance welding cell from Taylor-Winfield joins and assembles multiple components in one operation and can complete 20 different spot welds within five seconds, with minimum operator interaction.
LaserNett Moves to New Location
