MIG/MAG welding torches: special versions and wearing parts

Posted on 27. July 2020

In the second part of our series on MIG/MAG welding torches, we take a closer look at special versions. The choice of MIG/MAG welding torches in particular is almost unlimited, with a version for every process variant, welding challenge, and personal welder preference. High-tech welding torch The more specialized and complex the application and welding process, the more high-tech the welding torch solution. Key to high-quality push-pull systems in general is that the electric motors of the two wirefeeders are…

MIG/MAG Welding Torches: Making the Right Choice

Posted on 17. June 2020

Gas metal arc welding falls broadly into two categories: Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding and Metal Active Gas (MAG) welding. Within these two groups, the market offers endless choice, with a host of solutions for different processes and control options. Yet the design of the welding torches is almost identical, with only a few small internal differences depending on the process in question. So what exactly is a “welding torch” and a “MIG/MAG welding torch” in particular? Read on to…

TIG Torches: What are the Differences and Which Torch does What?

Posted on 2. June 2020

If you google for TIG welding torches, one thing soon becomes clear: There’s an almost infinite choice. From the torch bodies, through all the various types of TIG gas nozzle, to the wide range of handles. But what exactly are the differences between all these TIG torches, and what does each one do? Which Torch Body is Suitable for What? The main thing is to hit the spot – that’s what it’s all about. Because even the most comfortable and…

TIG, MIG/MAG, or electrode welding: when to use which welding process?

Posted on 18. May 2020

Almost any material can be welded using common welding processes: metal inert gas or metal active gas (MIG/MAG), tungsten inert gas (TIG) or electrode (manual metal arc) welding methods. Which process to use depends on the requirements of the component and the production process. Johann Dallmannsböck, trainer at Fronius International’s Welding Business Academy, explains which welding process to use and when. Welding speed MIG/MAG can reduce welding times. This welding process lends itself to automation, which makes joining particularly quick…

5 functions that a mobile TIG device should have

Posted on 26. March 2020

Die Touch HF-Funktion gestattet das Verwenden von Brennern ohne Taster und hilft ungemein bei schwer zugänglichen Nahtstellen wie kleinen Rohren.

No other process offers more stable weld seams than TIG welding, as well as better quality in terms of the look and feel of the product. In addition, TIG has a wide range of applications: The process is suitable for all metals and thin sheets as well as out-of-position welding and root pass welding. What’s more, welding does not produce slag, the material hardly deforms at all, and the process is virtually spatter-free. The advantages and broad range of applications…

Safe supporting structures: European Standard EN 1090

Posted on 2. March 2020

Companies producing steel and aluminum supporting structures that are then sold in the European Union (EU) must ensure their products carry a CE label. This label indicates whether the respective supporting structure meets standardized EU quality requirements. Examples of supporting structures include balconies, parapets, railings, bridges, and supports. In order for this quality seal to be granted, manufacturing companies themselves must be certified to European Standard (EN) 1090. The EN 1090 execution classes If a company wishes to obtain the…

What does a robot integrator do? A guest article.

Posted on 27. January 2020

Sébastien Devant is the co-owner of the robot integrator ACG in France as well as the head of its automation and robot division. In this guest article, he explains what robot integration is all about. Why do you need a robot integrator? If, for example, an auto manufacturer or supplier needs a new production system for car doors, there is a lot to consider; the body parts must be processed in the correct sequence using the correct method for each…

High-Performance Welding: A 65 Percent Increase in Productivity. A Customer Story

Posted on 16. December 2019

Brazilian company Painco manufactures welded components and assemblies from sheet metal such as huge wheel rims, excavator buckets, entire wheel loaders, and wind turbines for the construction and earth-moving equipment, passenger and goods vehicles, and renewable energy segments. The joining of exceptionally large components such as these is clearly categorized as high-performance welding. If there are lots of weld seams to deal with too, this process can also generate high welding speeds due to the huge deposition rate. In order…

Sustainable Welding in Practice

Posted on 23. October 2019

Our environment can only take so much. That is why sustainable action and the conscious use of resources and energy is extremely important. Sustainable Welding is also playing an increasingly important role in industrial production. A number of factors are decisive for welding technology, including the correct welding process and a higher welding speed combined with less rework. How does sustainable welding work? The use of modern and sophisticated welding technology is extremely important when it comes to achieving sustainable…

Underwater Welding: Weightless Welding Under Probably the Toughest Conditions

Posted on 10. September 2019

The deep underwater world of our planet can be as alien as outer space. Bridges, oil platforms, and other structures reach into and over these areas requiring skilled workers to build and maintain them. Above the surface, welding, cutting, and assembling these structures requires only the training and skill to do the job. Performing those same jobs underwater requires an entirely new set of skills, understanding, and equipment. Welcome to the world of commercial diving, and more specifically, underwater welding.…
