EWM launches new welding torch eBook
Welding torches can often be underestimated , yet they are so important to the welding process . The user must decide whether he / she wants to accept low performance and possibly high wear on components when using a lower-quality welding torch or whether to opt for quality .
“ In our new eBook , we shed light on how to obtain optimal welding results while still achieving maximum productivity ,” EWM told ISMR . “ When it is time to purchase welding torches , the main focus is often on the price . Low-cost versions are preferred over higher quality , but more expensive , ones . This is a serious mistake , because you cannot create a good weld seam with an inferior welding torch .”
In its new free eBook , ‘ Cost-efficient and reliable welding : the importance of the welding torch to the overall process ’, EWM provides valuable tips and demonstrates the advantages of optimally harmonising all the welding components .
So , what characterises a good welding torch ? EWM is quick to explain .
“ The welding torch should have a long service life . The parts subject to heavy wear should be wear-resistant . The welding result should not require any reworking and the welding torch should enable comfortable and ergonomically optimised operation . All these requirements are met by high-performance , high-quality welding torches which not only improve the quality of the weld seams , but also reduce operating costs in the long term ,” it said .
“ The basic requirement for high weld seam quality is a stable process , which avoids increased spatter and pore formation and prevents a lack of fusion . If these problems occur , it is important to find the cause . Often , it is not the power source that is the cause but the welding torch , an inadequate shielding gas supply or the poor quality of the filler material . It is important to detect and eliminate potential interference in the welding process ,” continued EWM .
For over 65 years , EWM has developed arc welding technology in Germany . The family company was founded in Mündersbach , in Germany ’ s Westerwald region , in 1957 . Today , it has over 400 sales and service support outlets worldwide .
In addition to smart machines , EWM develops and produces all necessary components such as welding torches for manual and automated applications . Many EWM welding processes are patented and developed to save energy , materials and time . EWM also offers customer-oriented service and consultancy . n
