Welding automation solutions
IN its appearance at the international
specialist trade fair Euroblech,
Germany’s leading manufacturer of
welding technology will be focusing
on innovative MIG/MAG orbital and
submerged arc welding products
and the expansion of current product
lines. The company will be presenting
complete solutions with the aim of
emphasising their technological and
economic advantages.
In comparison with manual TIG
welding, for example, the pipeTruck
automatic orbital pipe welding system
offers a five- to 15-fold increase in the
deposition rate, as well as guaranteeing
full X-ray quality.
This, together with alpha Q and the
innovative pipeSolution MIG/MAG
welding process, means EWM is able
to offer machines that are especially
suitable for use in the field, at the
pipeline and in the workshop. EWM
is also set to grab the attention of the
specialist audience with its expansion
of the Picomig, Phoenix and Taurus
model ranges.
The new portable machines in the
Picomig 305 Puls series are incredibly
powerful and very versatile multi-
process inverter power sources in
a sturdy plastic casing. The power
sources master standard arc and pulsed
MIG/MAG welding processes, as well as
TIG welding (lift arc) and joining with the
MMA process.
Thanks to their highly dynamic
inverter technology, the portable, gas-
cooled Phoenix 405 and 505 puls
and the Taurus 405 and 505 MIG/
MAG power sources are suitable for
welding tasks in the workshop, on the
construction site and during assembly,
and in particular at the shipyard and in
vehicle construction.
