Submerged arc welding equipment boosts quality ESAB, specialist in welding and cutting
technologies, has supplied submerged arc welding (SAW) equipment and welding wire to Rhyal Engineering for the on-site fabrication of storage tanks and vessels. Rhyal Engineering is a specialist in the field of site-built storage tanks and vessels for use in the petrochemical, aviation, power, water and bulk storage industries. Because of the highly competitive nature of this business, Rhyal Engineering recently approached ESAB with a view to implementing high-productivity mecha- nised submerged arc welding in place of manual metal arc (MMA) welding. Initially four ESAB A2 Multitrac pack- ages were supplied. These single-wire tractor units are fitted with the PEK con- troller that features a clear display screen,
Dryers ensure
high quality air The HPD range of ‘point of use dry- ers’ from Hi-line Industries are compact and cost effective and fea-
ture a ‘minimum downtime’ cartridge change. They are provide protection for downstream airline production equip- ment as well as many specialised application requirements including instrument air quality, printing and gas analysing devices. They are suitable for remote installa- tions, or wherever there may be only limited access available. The HPD unit provides an ideal localised installation where high quality air is a critical requirement. Hi-line Industries T: 01283 533377

a facility for pre-setting welding parame- ters, and encoder feedback for precision control of the tractor unit. Another impor- tant element in each Multitrac package is the ESAB LAF 1001 welding rectifier. To complement this equipment, ESAB sup- plied its OK Autrod 12.22 solid wire, a copper-coated wire optimised for SAW processes and can be used with most fluxes. Rhyal Engineering also purchased three ESAB AGW2 tank welder units. Willie Findlay, Rhyal Engineering’s quality assurance manager, says: “The quality of the ESAB equipment is excel- lent and the need for post-weld cleaning is minimal. Technical support form ESAB is excellent. The engineers did a great job in getting the equipment running and spares are being held for us in the UK.”

Twin-head tube/bar bender
Unison’s all-electric twin-head bending machines are said to be popular with manufacturers pro- ducing tubular parts that have a high degree of symmetry because they can form two bends simulta- neously, increasing manufactur- ing productivity significantly. Many applications can be found in industry including the produc- tion of parts for supermarket trolleys, wheelbarrows, furniture, and automotive. “It’s very easy to realise much higher efficiency and throughput
of bending operations with Unison’s particular style of all- electric twin-head machines,” says Jim Saynor, Unison sales manager. “They provide the doc- umented energy saving benefits of our ‘all-electric’ architecture, as well as the auto setup feature of our other machines, requiring minimal operator involvement for ‘right first time’ manufactur- ing. Our twin-head machines are also designed to have low mainte- nance requirements – they utilise high efficiency ballscrew and linear bearing systems, servomo- tors, belts and gearboxes. The product is available for stand- alone operation using manual feeding and unloading, or it can be integrated with various levels of ancillary automation. Unison

MAY 2012 Factory Equipment
The innovative and cost saving TruBend Cell 7000 from Trumpf; short-listed in the recent MWP Advanced Manufacturing Awards, has been con- firmed as the winner of Austria’s 2012 Innovation Prize. The TruBend Cell 7000 is a fully automatic brake press cell, said to be the fastest system in the world for bending small components. It can even work small batches efficiently, boost- ing productivity by as much as 300 per cent whilst reducing energy cost by 65 per cent. Presented by the Austrian Government, The Austrian Innovation Prize is the country’s highest recogni- tion for innovative achievement. UK manufacturers will have the
opportunity to see this award winner in action at the Trumpf In-Tech 2012 open house at the company’s Technology Centre in Luton in November. Trumpf UK T: 0844 482 0188
