PRODUCT REVIEWS
The Schröder Group will present its broad portfolio of sheet-metalworking machines on stand A48 in Hall 11 at EuroBLECH in Hanover , Germany ( 25-28 October 2022 ).
Highlights will include the fully automatic folding beam tool-changer on its EVO Center motorised sheet-metal folder and presentation of the PowerBend Multi . The EVO Center has been developed for industrial series production with high repeatability and offers several automation options .
A completely redesigned version of the PowerBend Professional folder will also be on display , with the option of a rotating clamping beam . This machine has an increased clamping beam stroke of 500mm and now offers more space for bulky workpieces
“ At EuroBLECH , we will be focusing on the flexibility of the machine to efficiently produce single pieces and small batches . Whereas rapid automatic changes of up to 400mm-high tools on the clamping beam were already possible via two asynchronously movable gripper units , there is now another special feature to
The EVO Center now has a fully automatic folding beam tool-changer .

New X5 FastMig Pulse welder
Finnish welding specialist , Kemppi , has launched the X5 FastMig Pulse modular welding solution for various applications in different environments , so that users can build the assembly “ that best suits their needs ”, it told ISMR .
“ The multi-process welding machine for industrial welding has been developed in collaboration with professional welders . X5 FastMig Pulse is a versatile arc-welding powerhouse that uses energyefficient inverter technology . Power
Above : X5 FastMig HD300 wire-feeder sources are models are equipped with work lights . available in 400A and 500A and , from October onwards , with pulsed MIG-welding capabilities . Eight wire feeder models are available , including new APC models supporting digital connectivity and HD models for demanding conditions ,” it added .
“ Welding a TIG , MIG or MMA process on the same system has never been so effortless . In addition , the X5 FastMig Pulse ’ s built-in data collection of welding parameters enables real-time monitoring of welding quality and work phases . Digital data collection of welding parameters requires an X5 FastMig APC wire feeder ,” said product manager , John Frost .
WeldEye ArcVision is an integrated Industry 4.0 solution that collects welding parameters , arc-on time and filler material consumption . Data is collected from digitally connected welding stations and transmitted wirelessly to the WeldEye ArcVision cloud service . WeldEye ArcVision visualises welding data in clear tables and graphs that can be filtered according to different needs .
“ Buyers of the X5 FastMig can test the WeldEye ArcVision cloud service for three months free of charge . X5 FastMig Wire Feeder APC models connect to WeldEye ArcVision wirelessly and without additional devices ,” concluded the company . n
