We have continued our recent investment in new technologies with the introduction of a Fanuc Robotic Welder.

On thin sheet (1mm to 5mm) a rapid arc process is used to produce small welds. This gives very fast weld times with reduced heat input into the material, thus giving less distortion. Weld size can be controlled and tolerances kept.

On thicker material (6mm to 25mm) a pulse mode is used. This can give very good penetration for stronger welds. Combined with multi-runs correct leg and throat thickness can be achieved dependent upon drawing specifications.

Pulse mode is also used to achieve good penetration on Aluminium. Using weave modes, weld pools of correct size can be created to control heat distribution throughout the product during process.

Flux Cored Wire and Specshield Gas can be used to weld armour. This gives a smooth and very clean finish to the weld surface.

To compliment the welding facilities a Thermal Dynamic Auto Cut 200 Plasma Cutter was introduced, this can be used for weld preps and also for primary cuts for our Machine Shop.

Ferrous and Non-Ferrous metals with thicknesses of 1mm to 50mm can be cut and box section can be shaped and formed to suit drawings and drawing tolerances.
