Join securely – work effectively

Manual welding, or welding by hand, is among the most demanding and stressful activities in metal construction. To join materials securely welders frequently have to work for longer periods in so-called constrained positions. To make this possible over a longer period a welding torch is needed that relieves the welder and provides optimal support during work.

Welding evenly – working economically

With recurring welding jobs automated welding ensures fast processes, constant high welding quality and, if planned correctly, short amortisation periods. Thanks to technological progress in recent years, automated welding offers clear advantages in comparison with manual welding to SMEs as well. Automated welding can also be realised with different methods.

Ensuring stability – avoiding thermal distortion

Welding thin plates up to 3 mm thick is one of the most complex joining tasks. The aim is to create a stable connection despite the thin material gauge. To prevent distortion of the metal plate and time-consuming reworking, as little heat as possible needs to be generated on the work surface. This requires lots of experience, finesse and welding equipment that is capable of working precisely in every situation.

More efficient welding – improving quality

Joining thick steel plates like those used to build ships and machines is one of the most complex and difficult welding tasks, and often large tolerance differences and gaps need to be compensated. All parts require careful preparation to ensure permanently stable connections. Also, the required result is often only achieved after several welding processes.

Wide welds – long distances

Using optimised welding equipment is essential when welding large parts because the wide welds on the parts, which are usually subject to heavy loads, must remain permanently stable and securely attached. Also, large distances often need to be bridged between the power source and the welding point. The wire and gas supplies need to work reliably and all parameters and various welding programs must be retrievable, if possible by remote control.

Reducing strain – preventing tension

Welding can impact on health, which is why there is a series of statutory prevention regulations governing released gases and vapours, extreme light and high temperatures. These include the use of extractor systems, mobile extractor devices, fume extraction torches and personal protective equipment. As a leading welding equipment partner, ABICOR BINZEL wants to help welders to reduce the physical stress associated with welding.
