ESAB Welding and Cutting has long been a health and safety pioneer, producing PPE which optimises the removal of welding fumes to ensure a safe environment for all operators.

Among the many products ESAB supplies are the Sentinel™ A50 and Sentinel A50 Air high-performance automatic welding helmets.  The latter of which incorporates a PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) unit.  The Sentinel’s radical design incorporates ergonomic headgear and maximum adjustability to increase productivity, functionality and usability. The Sentinel A50’s high-tech features include an almost infinitely adjustable 5-point headgear, a 100 x 60mm viewing area, an externally activated Grind Button, a colour ...

In a VAE project, ESAB’s experts will analyse the cutting and welding processes, then recommend improvements and predict the cost savings that will be achieved. Depending on the application, the recommendations might include, for example, changes to filler metals, revisions to welding parameters, operator training, reprogramming of welding robots, modifications to joint designs or plate preparation, or switching to a different form of supply for consumables. If investment in new equipment is required, the aim is to achieve payback in a short and acceptable time frame.

As part of the analysis, detailed measurements are made of relevant parameters so the VAE team can make recommendations ...

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has introduced a full suite of mechanised welding systems.. including the Railtrac™ B42V (a rail-mounted tractor with a new weaving unit), the Railtrac BV2000 (a rail-mounted tractor for rail hardfacing), the Miggytrac™ B501 (compact, battery-operator tractor) and the Miggytrac™ B501 (compact, battery-operator tractor) and the Miggytrac B5001 (compact, programmable tractor)..

"There are four great reasons to consider mechanised welding for long, and even not-so-long, joints and seams: productivity, consistency, flexibility and ergonomics," says Edward Hansen, Global Director of Product Management, Flexible Automation, ESAB.

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has expanded and enhanced the series of MXL MIG/MAG torches for industrial-duty applications. ESAB has boosted the duty cycle from 35 to 60% and now offers a full range of MXL gas- and water-cooled torches designed for industrial-duty applications. All MXL torches feature knuckle joints and spring supports that improve flexibility to reduce wrist strain. A new handle offers better ergonomics and soft-grip areas on the 341, 411W and 511W models further increase comfort. A refreshed front-end design accepts the same standard ESAB consumables.

MXL torches are available with the following rated outputs, with duty cycles respectively listed for mixed gas/CO2: ...
