ESAB invests in HLAW
October 1st 2011 To reinforce its position in the
welding and cutting market ESAB
has completed the purchase of the
Master Process Controller (MPC)
from Applied Thermal Sciences
(ATS) for use in its Hybrid Laser Arc
Welding (HLAW) process.
The MPC is a patented real-time
control system for managing the laser,
MIG/MAG welding equipment and
the motion system that carries the
laser and MIG/MAG welding heads.
ESAB has been working with ATS for
more than six years to develop this
adaptive welding control system for
hybrid laser arc welding.
ESAB is committed to the HLAW
process and has put in place an
infrastructure so that it can
manufacture, market, sell and
support this process. In addition, the
company will continue developing
the process to create state-of-the-art
hybrid laser arc welding systems that
will help customers maximise
productivity and maintain
exceptional quality. More articles from ESAB Group UK Limited: |
