Annapolis Junction, Md. – AMI, an ESAB brand, has collaborated with Wolfram Industrie, a vertically integrated manufacturer of premium tungsten and molybdenum materials, to offer an exclusive line of tungsten electrodes for orbital TIG welding. The AMI-Wolfram Industrie ORBISTAR® series of pre-ground tungsten electrodes can last more than two times longer than other tungstens and reduce arc fault failures by up to 80 percent. The company offers different combinations of tungsten length, diameter, point geometry, surface finish and type, including thoriated and non-thoriated options, to meet specific application requirements.

“ORBISTAR electrodes provide superior arc stability and arc ...

Annapolis Junction, Md. – AMI, an ESAB brand, has launched its Model 317 Orbital Welding Controller at FABTECH 2019, ESAB booth B17087, at Chicago’s McCormick Place, Nov. 11 – 14. Designed for applications in the semiconductor, pharmaceutical, nuclear and other premium pipe fabrication operations, the M317 contains the most modern controls and interface technology to simplify automated welding. This next generation orbital TIG welding system offers an unrivaled user experience through an advanced touchscreen that allows users to better control the weld, improving performance and increasing production efficiency.

Proven in Europe, complete line of Pipeweld filler metals now available in North America.

Annapolis Junction, Md. – ESAB Welding & Cutting Products has launched its Pipeweld series of filler metals with formulations that have been specifically tailored for welding X52 to X100 grade pipe. They include cellulosic electrodes, low-hydrogen vertical up and vertical down electrodes, solid wires, gas-shielded flux cored wires and submerged arc welding fluxes.

“The ESAB series of Pipeweld products was designed by pipeline welders, for pipeline welders,” says Gordon Eadie, Global Pipeline Segment Manager, ESAB. “They deliver excellent mechanical properties and outstanding operator ...

Annapolis Junction, Md. – Tweco, an ESAB brand, will launch its new Tweco® RT series of robotic MIG torches at FABTECH 2019, November 11-14, at McCormick Place in Chicago. The new generation of robotic MIG torches features a massive brass outer tube that provides the most reliable TCP in the industry. As a result, they can withstand a collision and still maintain tool center point (TCP), as well as eliminate TCP drift due to repeated heating and cooling cycles.

“With RT torches, the weld bead stays exactly where you want it — in the center of the joint — without the need to compensate with weaves or slower travel speeds,” says Alexander Fischer, Global Robotic Product Manager, ESAB.
