ESAB offers welding procedure qualification records


Feature Packed Economical Labelling


eber’s Model 4300 Pro-Apply in-line systems combine high-quality label printing and application for economical, fast and accurate pressure-sensitive labelling.


W Apply systems are designed,


The Model 4300 Pro- engineered and


assembled by Weber, within their own manufacturing facility. Each unit features a fully integrated on- demand, thermal / thermal-transfer print engine from Datamax, SATO or Zebra to produce 203, 300 or 600 dpi text, bar codes and graphic images at speeds up to 400 millimetres per second.Labels up to 150mm wide and 150mm in length are printed in a cost- efficient, next-out mode, and then instantly applied to cartons or products on the production or packaging line. Using the tamp-blow method of application, a printed pressure-sensitive label is automatically peeled from its liner and retained by vacuum on the applicator’s tamp pad. The pad is then extended (adjustable between 50mm to 300mm stroke) and blown onto the package from a distance of approximately 6.0mm.

SAB Welding & Cutting Products now offers certified Welding Procedure Qualification Records (WPQR) for MIG/MAG and MMA welding to assist fabricators in complying with the requirements of EN 1090, the European standard governing the execution of steel and aluminium structures. As of July 1, 2014, EN 1090 replaces all national standards and requires manufacturers of structural work made from steel or aluminum in all EU countries to conform to this new quality standard. ESAB helps fabricators reduce the time and expense of achieving qualified weld production processes with tested and approved WPQRs from which users can create the necessary Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) required to obtain certification under EN 1090. A welding industry leader, ESAB has applied its expertise in developing qualified Welding Procedure Qualification Records that cover consumables commonly used in structural steel fabrication, including solid metal wires, flux-cored wires and metal- cored wires such as OK AristoRod™ 12.50, OK Autrod 12.51, and Coreweld 46LS. ESAB’s WPQRs cover all inverter-based and digital chopper series machines it currently offers, including Origo™ Mig, Aristo® Mig and Warrior™ models and can be applied to many machines which are already in use.

Bulmor’s reputation extends at Ridgeons Since humble beginning in a backroom in Cambridge in 1911, Ridgeon’s


Advertorial


has grown steadily to become one of the UK’s largest independent


Timber and Builders Merchants with 25 locations across the East of England. A tangible sign of the company’s progress was the opening, in the 80s, of a magnificent new warehouse on a 12 acre site in Suffolk, with capacity for 600 full packs of timber or 2500m² of finished stock which complements the two mills and treatment plants there. A notable feature


of the new facility is some 640 linear metres of adjustable cantilever racking which serves as the structural support for the building and gives much better storage at 6m high rather than the usual 5.4m – and this is where Bulmor Lancer’s special sideloaders literally fit in. Ridgeon’s General Manager Jem Slee sets the scene “We have seen a very satisfactory growth in our business and we needed extra covered space to store both sawn joinery material and finished products .So as to maximise the benefit of the extra height we replaced the two existing sideloaders with two new economic diesel – powered Bulmor Lancer sideloaders with a 6m reach. The new advanced machines are also notably fitted with three built-in cameras positioned to cover the back, the offside area and the fork carriage. We chose Bulmor Lancer because of the superior specification and their willingness to work with us to get the correct specification and the quality of the machines as well as being realistically competitive. Our plan is to eventually change the existing fleet of sideloaders to the high-reach version”. Bulmor Lancer

Demag cranes provide lifting power for the oil and gas sector


Aberdeen. A division of the multinational operator, Dril-Quip Inc of Houston, Texas, the company designs, manufactures and services a wide variety of hardware for the oil and gas industry. Dril-Quip’s product range includes sub-sea and surface trees and tubular components, which are distributed to major oil and gas operators worldwide. The investment was driven by the need to handle increasingly large and heavy components, between manufacturing and assembly processes. Terex Material Handling supplied a Demag 50 t SWL, 17.6 m span ZKKW double girder overhead travelling crane and a 30 t SWL, 17.6 m span ZKKW double girder overhead travelling crane. Both cranes incorporate Demag MPW open winch wire rope lifting units, which are particularly suited to Dril-Quip’s manufacturing processes. Both cranes have variable cross and long travel speeds of 0 - 20 m/min. The 50 t SWL crane has variable hoisting speeds of 0 – 8.8 m/min for loads up 30 t and 0 – 5.5 m/min for loads above 30 t, whilst the 30 t SWL crane has variable hoisting speeds of 0 – 8.8 m/min for loads up 18 t and 0 – 5.5 m/min for loads above 18 t.

offer flexible loading to help manage manufacturing growth


r. Martens is introducing three new work boot/shoe designs into its collection this autumn, offering style, comfort and protection for an


array of industrial work environments. Dr. Martens has been making comfortable, durable footwear since 1960 and this wealth of experience is evident in each of these new designs. Lightweight and easy to wear, the work boots have padded collars, breathable mesh foam backed linings and removable anti-static cushioned footbeds. All three offer great value for money, providing versatility and functionality. They are perfect for light duties but also incorporate key S1P safety features necessary for onsite visits. This includes anti-static properties and slip resistant outsoles. They also benefit from a steel puncture resistant midsole and heat resistant outsole, and a steel safety toe cap which conforms to and exceeds the European Standard. (Tested to EN ISO 20345). Purlin ST is a multi-purpose eight-tie work boot, with a durable, full grain leather upper, available in Teak and Black. Both Benham ST, a safety hiker boot, and Gunaldo ST, a safety shoe, provide a more relaxed, athletic option combining a nubuck upper with breathable mesh panels. The collection have some distinctive style pointers in common: grooved sidewalls, the trademark yellow stitching and Dr. Martens heel loops ensure that they look as good after hours as they do in work.

horworld Industries believes that the flexibility of mobile yardramps represents the perfect loading and unloading solution for UK manufacturing, as the country records a three-year high in growth. The latest figures from the Office of National Statistics (for Q1 2014) suggest that manufacturing has reached its strongest level since 2011, with further growth predicted.


T This is great news for


manufacturers, yet one aspect of managing growth that is often overlooked is how to deal with the increased strain on logistics. Thorworld Industries is the market leader in the design and manufacture of mobile yardramps, and its extensive experience has shown many times that firms can underestimate the effect of sudden growth.


A poor logistics


infrastructure can lead to bottlenecks in production and despatch, with its attendant cost implications, while it can encourage reckless and unsafe behaviour as warehouse operators are forced to load or unload without proper equipment in place.
