Each welding task requires the appropriate torch. Thus, pipelines are often welded with the manual metal arc welding procedure by means of rails or tractor systems, which are partially mechanised in the case of long distances. Thick-walled tanks must be preheated in order to achieve optimal welding results. Therefore, MIG/MAG torches with extended torch necks, which reduce the heat load for welders, are particularly suitable. Lightweight and flexible ARBICOR BINZEL torches make it easy to work on large parts with frequent position changes and forced positions. With rotatable and quickly replaceable torch necks in different lengths and bending angles, areas that are particularly difficult to access can be easily reached. This also applies to turbines, rotor blades and wind turbine components which are welded by hand, partially mechanised or automated.

Even the demanding repair methods need torch solutions suitable for the material and the process. This also applies to collectors of solar thermal systems, which are usually produced by the plasma welding procedure because of the low material thickness. The build-up welding – cladding – of nickel-based materials or stellites in incineration plants is carried out in a partially mechanised manner. This also corresponds to the general trend, in view of the shortage skilled labour and high personnel costs, to increasingly shift to partially mechanised and fully automated welding processes.
