Mewag AG Switzerland Booth 25047

Mewag is a manufacturer of bending machines including the Megalus and Gigalus brands. These machines offer a modular design, one or two heads, and automatic right to left bending, with an unlimited number of tools. With up to 13 axes, the bending machines are fully-electric and capable of producing both simple and complex geometries, with high accuracy and speed. High-speed servo drives are used for all axes. An electrically adjustable bending arm and sliding rail feed pressure ensures that bend pressure is programmable and the formation of wrinkles is controlled. In addition to the standard programming, Mewag’s Sub-program Technology also allows an additional CNC code to be inserted before or after each bending set. This ensures all axis movements and auxiliary functions can be programmed.

› Metallisation’s Arc spray system

Metallisation provides metal spraying and anti-corrosion protection systems, and will present at Fabtech its Arc 528 metal spray pistol in an ERW repair application. The Metallisation 528 Arc spray system consists of a heavy duty, high performance pistol, specially designed to work reliably in severe and extended operating conditions, married to a robust but simple power supply specifically designed for arc spraying. The main benefit of the Metallisation 528 system is its reliability in automated applications, where consistent operation is important.

ductile iron pipes, sub sea pipes/risers, ERW tubes and structural fabrications, in diverse industries such as oil, petrochemical, construction, water supply and sewerage. The system is normally used to apply coatings automatically, either by traversing the pistol over a rotating pipe, or by conveying the pipe or tube past the pistols. Metallisation will also present its full range of hand-held anti-corrosion metal spray systems and engineering coating solutions.

The Arc 528 system is widely used to protect pipes from corrosion, including
