Specialty Purging Prevents Oxidation in CMV Steel Welds
Available in many pipe sizes, HotPurge from Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT is an inflatable, specialty system designed to address the inherent challenges of keeping mechanical properties intact. Through continuous purging, it can maintain oxygen levels below 100 ppm.
Nitrogen Generation, Gas Mixing Products Reduce Costs and Floor Space
Bystronic Inc. and MSS Nitrogen Inc. partner to sell Bystronic’s Nitrocube nitrogen generation and NitrO2 gas mixing products, powered by MSS, in the North America market. Nitrocube’s nitrogen purity is 99.999%, while NitrO2 mixing can triple laser cutting speeds.
High-Force Actuators Support Robotic Sheet-Metal Welding
Tolomatic’s CSW and CSWX Compact ServoWeld welding gun actuators for robotic spot welding integrate a 3,507-lbf and 4,047-lbf, respectively, actuator into a hollow-core servo motor for faster resistant spot-weld cycles.
Cobot Simplifies and Improves Large-Pipe Welding
Requiring just 4 square feet of shop floor space, Novarc Technologies’ spool welding robot (SWR) enables inexperienced welders working on pipe spools up to 30 feet long to monitor and adjust parameters to pipe variations in real time.
Portable and Easily Adaptable Welding-Automation Solution
Lincoln Electric’s Fab-Pak Cobot Cart enables small- and medium-sized fabricators to justify investing in automation by providing a mobile, easy-to-program, and safe robotic welding solution.
Space-Saving Automated Welding Package for Pipe Fabricators
Koike Aronson Ransome’s pipe-welding package incorporates the Cricket-I manipulator. Providing 20-IPM lift speed and 150-pound load capacity, the manipulator ensures productivity increases without sacrificing floor space.
6-Axis Welding Cobots Provide Maximum Flexibility
Fanuc adds 15- and 33-pound-payload welding cobots to the ARC Mate product line. The arc welding cobots’ easy-to-program interface supports both simple and complex applications using advanced features.
Pre-Engineered Cell Eases Transition to Automated Welding
ESAB and Yaskawa have partnered to offer small-to-medium-sized manufacturers and fabricators a pre-engineered welding cell that’s easy to set up and operate: the XCellerator.
Bystronic Enters Automated Welding Market
Bystronic is selling three robotic welding options – Micro Cell, Compact Cell and Compact System – in the U.S. They’re configured by the German manufacturer Cloos Robotic Welding, which handles installation, training, and service.
Two-Arm Cobot Doubles Efficiency Without Sacrificing Safety
Even though they have two arms, Kawasaki Robotics’ duAro cobots fit into a single-person space while providing enough room for an employee to safely work alongside. Two models provide 8.8- and 13-pound payloads.
Three Updated Cobot Models Offer Greater Connectivity
The “A” in Hanwha’s HCR-3A, HCR-5A, and HCR-12A stands for “advanced.” Three cobot models improve on their predecessors by offering customizable solution packages that incorporate artificial intelligence and mobility technologies.
Design the Ideal Floor Layout for Cobotic Production and/or Assembly
Delmia Robotics’ software from Dassault Systemes maximizes automation initiatives by enabling manufacturers to design and virtually test a drilling-and-riveting, arc welding, spot welding, and/or material handling line before rolling it out.
