SAB Welding & Cutting Products showcased a full suite of mechanised welding systems at EuroBlech 2018. Products on display include the Railtrac™ B42V (a rail- mounted tractor with a new weaving unit), the Railtrac BV2000 (a rail-mounted tractor for rail hardfacing), the Miggytrac™ B501 (compact, battery-operator tractor) and the Miggytrac B5001 (compact, programmable tractor). “There are four great reasons to consider mechanised welding for long, and even not-so-long, joints and seams: productivity, consistency, flexibility and ergonomics,” says Edward Hansen, Global Director of Product Management, Flexible Automation, ESAB.

Welding tractors increase travel speeds/deposition rates by 100 percent compared to manual welding. They move faster, don’t need to stop for repositioning and enable welding with higher parameters and/or larger diameter wires. By making continuous welds, tractors reduce rework associated with start/stop defects.

BB has launched a Lunch ‘n’ Learn training session that shows how water companies can use variable speed drives (VSDs) to make dramatic improvements in their leakage rates. Industry statistics from the UK’s
Consumer Council for Water state that a staggering 3.1 mega litres of water is lost every day through leakage in England and Wales. That’s an
enormous amount of water that must be replaced, treated and pumped all over again to maintain supplies to customers.
“Using variable speed drives can cut these leaks dramatically by
controlling pressure,” says Dan Banks,
ABB Drives Water Framework Manager. “Our training session is a convenient way to ensure that those responsible for specifying, operating or maintaining pumps learn how they can use VSDs to reduce the waste caused by leakage.”
Topics covered include:
• How VSDs tackle common causes of leakage including elevated supply pressures and water hammer • The role of inbuilt VSD smart functions such as soft pipe fill and sleep boost
• The increasing use of cloud-based monitoring techniques in leakage prevention strategies
• H ow one ABB customer is set to save £4.5 million on repairs and energy costs by 2021 by using VSDs to maintain correct water pressure
The 45-minute session, Reducing leakage through the use of variable speed drives, is free to attend and can be delivered to individuals or groups at customer premises or an ABB facility.
