It’s All About the (Welding) Process

To increase productivity and throughput in welding operations on the shop floor or at the jobsite, take a closer look at some of the new process technologies that can monitor and control the multiple facets of the welding process – including weld sequences, duration of the welds and deposition rates, general weld parameters and more – and deliver significant advantages in productivity, efficiency and operator comfort while maintaining necessary weld quality:

Advanced Waveform System Addresses Thin-Gauge Steel Welding
The new AC STT waveform from Lincoln Electric provides a complete system for welding thin sheet metal from 24 ga and up, while accommodating for poor fit-up and gap conditions.

World’s First Collaborative Spool Welding Robot
Novarc’s Spool Welding Robot is a semi-automated robotic system for pipe welding, small pressure vessel manufacturing and other 1G welding applications.

No More Depression at the End of a Laser Weld
SmartRamp technology from Prima Power Laserdyne provides consistent endpoint control during laser welding, eliminating areas where potential weld failure can occur to produce uniform weld penetration along the entire length of the weld.

How to Tailor Pulsed TIG Welding to Thin Material and Stainless Steel Pipe
The Renegade ET 300iP DC TIG/Stick inverter from ESAB features controls for pulsed TIG welding that can improve weld puddle control, control the weld bead profile, reduce heat input and increase travel speeds on stainless steel pipe used in food, process piping and mechanical contracting applications.

Keeping Tube and Pipe Joints Clean When Welding
Huntingdon Fusion Techniques HFT can remove air from the vicinity of a weld inside and outside simultaneously by using a Weld Trailing Shield on the outside and an Inflatable Pipe Purging System on the inside.

Easily Capture Dust and Fumes in Light Production Welding Applications
The Zephyr III Portable Dust Collector from Camfil APC is perfect for capturing airborne particles at their source, including welding/soldering fumes, grinding dusts and dry dusts in facilities that perform maintenance welding or intermittent production welding.
