PRODUCT REVIEWS Fabrication in focus
ESAB ® will feature static and live demonstrations of its full portfolio of manual and automated welding and cutting equipment , filler metals , PPE and software applications on stand 6A13 in Hall 6 at Schweissen & Schneiden ( 11-15 September 2023 , Essen , Germany ). With dozens of new products and technologies launched recently , stand highlights include these new products :
■ Rustler™ EM 350C PRO Synergic , an integrated MIG welder / wire feeder that provides a 350-amp output and adds the benefits of synergic control .
■ Renegade™ ET 210iP Advanced , a pulsed TIG / MMA inverter featuring a 110mm-wide colour TFT ( thin film transistor ) operator interface .
■ Renegade VOLT™ battery-powered MMA / TIG welder for mobile fabrication and repair .
■ Rogue™ EM ( ESAB MIG ) and Rogue EMP ( ESAB Multi-Process ) compact welders .
■ Next-generation Warrior ® Edge 500 multi-process pulsing power source and RobustFeed Edge wire feeder .
■ ESAB Cobot , which gives small- and medium-sized fabricators the freedom to automate high-mix applications as it uses an intuitive software app that runs on a standard smart phone or tablet .
■ Made-in-Europe MIG aluminium wires and the new Marathon Pac™ Ultra , which hold 22 % more wire for more uptime .
“ Visitors to the ESAB stand will see that our new products reflect the voice of our customers and their request for solutions that improve productivity and quality , while addressing the chronic shortage of skilled workers ,” said Olivier Biebuyck , President ,
ESAB ’ s Ultimate Line-up of welders and plasma cutters .
Fabrication Technology , ESAB Corporation . “ For example , look at the design of our new operator interfaces . They use digital displays , quick buttons and synergic controls that simplify set-up , yet incorporate advanced functionality and performance not found in legacy machines . ESAB equipment makes it easier to weld or cut with optimised performance for more accurate and consistent work .”
All ESAB power sources feature the latest power inverter designs that meet EU Ecodesign Directives . They are designed to improve energy efficiency , lower utility bills and offer lighter weight for more portability and manoeuvrability around a facility or job site .
The ESAB stand will feature displays , demonstrations and ESAB experts on hand to discuss :
■ ESAB ’ s “ Ultimate Line-Up ” of systems for industrial and light industrial applications , which feature the Rustler , Rogue , Renegade and the Renegade VOLT ES 200i batterypowered welder and the ESAB Cutmaster ® manual plasma cutter series .
■ New personal protective equipment including the new Sentinel™ A60 automatic welding helmet , the lightweight SWARM A20 welding helmet and the new EPR-X1 PAPR .
■ Heavy industrial systems featuring the new Warrior Edge power source and RobustFeed Edge wire feeder . The WarriorEdge system has builtin connectivity and comes with a subscription to the InduSuite WeldCloud Fleet online software application .
■ The Red Dot award-winning
RobustFeed wire feeder series , which is now available in five different models .
■ The new Exeor torch features a slim , balanced lightweight design with a soft grip area . Remote function buttons on the top of the torch enable adjustments without an additional cable or returning to the feeder .
■ A portfolio of integrated automated systems and welding tractors for mechanised welding . Highlights include the CaB 460 ( column and boom ) paired with a ESAB ’ s new adaptive welding system for SAW . This technology reads the bevel up to 150mm deep , automatically plans how to position / place the weld beads in relation to each other to completely fill the bevel and autonomously plans , executes and compensates for deviations in gap , angle and misalignment . The ESAB adaptive system especially benefits SAW of monopiles , transition pieces , wind towers and pressure vessels .
■ The Combirex Pro , an enhanced version of its best-selling cutting machine with improved dynamic accuracy , speed and durability . The Combirex Pro enables users to cut a 3m-wide plate , even if the machine is equipped with a DMX Beveler and a water table .
■ The next-generation Vision T6™ CNC controller features a multi-touch , high-definition panel with functions such as swipe-to-zoom , drag-anddrop and easy access to a full range of features . ESAB ’ s SmartCycle 2.0 technology , designed to reduce cost per part , includes enhancements to several different software systems that shorten cycle times , increase machine motion efficiency and improve overall plasma cutting productivity .
■ ESAB ’ s iSeries high-precision plasma power sources , which can be connected to double cutting output to 400 , 600 or 800 amps .
Brands on the ESAB stand at Schweissen & Schneiden include GCE Group ( debuting its new hydrogen technology torch for mechanised flame cutting ); Swift-Cut ( a manufacturer of light industrial CNC plasma and waterjet cutting machines ); InduSuite ( a universal collection of welding and cutting software applications ) and TBi Industries ( welding equipment specialising in development and production of MIG / MAG and TIG torches for industrial use ). n
