If It's Heavy Equipment, ESAB's the Preferred Partner


If the earth moves or you see some growing plains, you can be almost certain that somewhere at the back of these vitally important activities there's ESAB, the preferred partner of international leaders when it comes to welding and cutting.  

Heavy plant and machinery, the sort of gear that moves mountains and builds new edifices that would put the pyramids to shame, is often known as yellow goods, for the very sensible reason that it is frequently painted that colour.  

Given the nature of the work, phenomenal sums can be at stake as a result of down time through idle plant and workers, as well as penalty clauses.  

When you have to get the weld or cut right first time, the name that springs to mind is ESAB so it's no surprise that ESAB has built powerful relationships with some of the world's leading heavy plant and equipment manufacturers, as these case studies reveal.  

Case study One - "Welding smoke can be reduced if you use the AristoRod MAG wire range. A UK based household name in heavy moving equipment needed a quote for G4Si1/ER70S-6 solid wire.  ESAB's assistance team suggested AristoRod 12.63, a copper free wire that feeds better, has less spatter and generates less smoke during welding.  

Trials revealed that the concept worked fantastically. Thanks to the idea and the support offered by ESAB, the company has now won £1.8m a year worth of extra business.  

ESAB's support package included a Swift Arc Transfer (SAT™) process on robotic stations for the demonstration. Productivity gains were impressive and the customer praised ESAB's initiative and help.  
Case study Two – SAT™) rising production. One of the biggest international yellow goods manufacturers, is a company that has introduced many products and even new technologies.

The company had a bottle neck in its earth moving gear production line when it came to making fuel tanks. The Swift Arc Transfer Process solved that problem.  

Field trials revealed that the SAT™ Process used with AristoRod 12.50 could cut production time by 30% at the robotised welding station.  

The Customer was pleased with the innovation and requested it be installed in plants worldwide.  
Case study Three - Growing together. One of the best known names in agricultural machinery has been sending staff to learn as much as they can about ESAB by visiting the welding and cutting specialist's plants across the world. Partnership offers the prospect of the consistent use of technology, replicated globally and transferable from any of the agricultural machinery maker's plants to any of the others.  

It all makes compelling case for partnership. As a truly global supplier ESAB can co-ordinate activities across the planet and make sure customers get the right support no matter where they are.  

ESAB is the brand that takes the worries away from the customer, ideal for companies that need to be world class specifiers.

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
