Cryoquip orders M205 tube
welder from Arc Machines
UK-BASED Cryoquip has become one
of the first companies in the UK to order
a new state-of-the-art orbital welding
machine and weld heads from Arc
Machines UK.
The order comprising Arc Machines’
new model M205 together with a 1500
weld head was delivered and installed
in the UK, earlier this year.
Cryoquip Ltd looked at a number of
suppliers before choosingArc Machines,
thanks to its superior technology and
competitive pricing.
A key factor in ordering the M205 was
its fusion flexibility, enabling it to join
thin-wall pipes, and fittings ranging in
diameters starting at 2.3mm to 190mm
and up to 4mm in wall thickness. This
agility, when allied with the M205’s ability
to be used with all of AMI Arc Machine’s
fusion weld heads, makes it ideal for
Cryoquip Ltd because of the multitude of
varied projects the company supports.
Typical Cryoquip Ltd welding projects
include the fusing of pipes used in
aluminium finned natural ambient and
fan forced vaporisers, shell and tube
and hot water bath vaporisers, heat
exchangers and vacuum insulated
piping.
Cryoquip Ltd’s workshop manager
is pleased with the M205 and also
the after sales service Arc Machines
has provided. He said: “Although
the business is no stranger to Arc
Machines having received equipment
from our parent company in the USA,
we needed to be sure that it would do
the job and could weld stainless steel
tubing.
“This proved not to be a problem and
the equipment is very easy to use with
limited training. Currently the M205 is
being operated by a younger member
of the engineering team.”
Over at Arc Machines, technical sales
manager John Morris is delighted with
the order. “Although Cryoquip Inc is no
stranger to our equipment in the USA,
this is the first order in the UK and the
equipment was evaluated against stiff
competition.
“Obviously I am delighted that the
company has purchased the new M205
and we look forward to working with
them as required.”
The M205 is believed to be the most
advanced, easy-to-use orbital power
supply in the industry and is packed
with features, making it suitable for a
wide range of industries. These include
biopharmaceutical, semiconductor, food,
liquids, aerospace, power generation,
ship building and numerous OEM type
applications.
