MIG GUN FOR NON-INDUSTRIAL WELDERS
Perfect for farm, garage, hobby/DIY, artistic metal working, small job shops, maintenance and repair applications, these durable Tweco Weldskill MIG guns from Thermadyne® Industries use a patent-pending design that provides light-duty welders with attractive value pricing.
PLASMA TORCHES ARE MORE HEAT RESISTANT, WITHSTAND GREATER IMPACT
Duramax™ retrofit plasma torches from Hypertherm can withstand impacts five times greater than the previous generation of torches and are more heat resistant so they can easily conquer the most demanding job in robotic and pipe-cutting applications.
ADVANCED PROCESS WIRE FEEDER FOR ALUMINUM FABRICATION
Ideal for aluminum fabrication, high-alloy construction, shipbuilding and pipeline welding, the compact Power Feed® 25M wire feeder from Lincoln Electric is push-pull capable for premium aluminum wire feeding with a push-pull gun.
COMPACT CONSTRUCTION WIRE FEEDERS
Ideal for ironworking, fabrication, shipyards, rental companies, pipeline and construction, the LN-25 Pipe and LN-25 Ironworker® wire feeders from Lincoln Electric are simple to operate, reliable and easy to service.
MATRIX METAL-CORED WIRE SIZE FOR WELDING THICKER MATERIALS
Ideal for high-volume robotic welding in heavy equipment manufacturing, Matrix™ metal-cored wire from Hobart Brothers uses a special formulation for uncompromised arc starting, wire feeding consistency, excellent seam tracking and touch sensing.
FILET WELD GRINDER IDEAL FOR FINISHING VARIOUS METALS
The easy to maneuver, light-weight KNSE 12-150 extended nose grinder from Metabo can finish and polish hard-to-access fillet welds typically found on handrails or inside welds on enclosed areas.
PORTABLE DC WELDERS HANDLE COMPLETE RANGE OF STICK AND TIG JOBS
With greater versatility and amperage range than anything else on the market in their price range, the 95S, 161S, 161STL, and 201TS DC welders from Thermal Arc® handle a wide range of stick or TIG jobs at an incomparable value.
ROBOTIC MIG GUNS IMPROVE WELDING RELIABILITY AND WIRE TOUCH SENSING
Water-cooling enables these TOUGH GUN™ G2 Series Robotic MIG guns from Tregaskiss to run cooler and last longer, while a Wire Brake is used in conjunction with wire touch sensing to help determine the location of weld joints.
WELD CLEANING BRUSHES LOWER COSTS IN PIPELINE CONSTRUCTION
DUALLY™ stringer-bead wheels from Weiler make the pipeline construction practice of periodically switching the mounting position in order to maintain the speed and effectiveness of weld cleaning brushes much easier.
Improving Feedability in Aluminum Welding
Due to the poor column strength of aluminum, the wire easily bends or twists when pushed through a typical GMAW wire feeder and gun system, causing “bird-nesting.” Thom Burns of AltoTec shares some ways to prevent this problem.
The Evolution of the Hybrid Laser Arc Welding Revolution
Moving Beyond “Wait and See”: Geoff Lipnevicius of Lincoln Electric examines how the hybrid revolution is building momentum as manufacturers embrace the higher travel speeds, increased depth of penetration and deposition rates of a ‘hybrid’ materials-joining process that captures the unique advantages of two distinct sources of energy – laser power and arc welding.
FABRICATING RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE WELDING OF TWO-SIDED GROOVE WELDS
Regis Geisler of Lincoln Electric explores some real-world considerations and practices to improve quality and productivity during the welding of two-sided butt joints that are frequently used in pressure vessels and wind tower construction.
