TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION u ADVERTORIAL Robust Feed U82 wire feeder


offers unmatched combination of advanced process controls and extreme durability


Robust Feed also offers Red Dot Award-winning ergonomics and usability.


increase competitiveness through consistent weld quality and appearance, address workforce skill issues, improve productivity and reduce operating costs. The feeder accepts 200- and 300-mm wire spools and is designed to work with ESAB’s Aristo® 500ix and Aristo Mig 4004i Pulse power sources. The Robust Feed U82 combines the extreme durability of a

portable, enclosed feeder and the precision and control of a shop-style feeder. Its PreciDrive wire drive system delivers better arc starts and stops without backlash or play in the gears. Large diameter (38 mm) drive rolls offer more gripping area and provide more pushing force without deforming soft cored and aluminium wires. It handles solid wires up to 2.0 mm and cored wires up to 2.4 mm and feeds wire at speeds of 0.8 to 25.0 m/min.

eliminates rejects and rework, delivering optimised results when welding the galvanised steel components used in transportation, white goods, agricultural tanks and troughs, HVAC systems and construction (roofs, facades, gates, fences, stairs, catwalks). Through tightly controlled micro-alloying elements in its formulation, OK AristoRod 38 Zn addresses the root cause of


OK AristoRod® 38 Zn solid wire reduces spatter, porosity for more productivity when welding galvanised steels E


SAB’s OK AristoRod® 38 Zn is a solid wire with a specially alloyed formula that minimises porosity and spatter on galvanised steels. It significantly reduces or


porosity and spatter associated with standard ER70S-6 wires without the expense or increased risk of burn through associated with metal cored wires. ESAB conducted head-to-head tests against other common options for welding galvanised steel. The results were conclusive: OK AristoRod 38 Zn offers the best performance at the lowest total cost of production. OK AristoRod 38 Zn is available in diameters of 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2 mm in 18 kg spools and 250 kg Marathon Pacs.

Food research all washed up R


eal time process control for food manufacture has come a significant step closer, thanks to pioneering research work at University College Dublin into


viscosity measurement techniques for characterising the flow and mixability of highly non-Newtonian fluids. At the heart of the researchers' experiments is the TorqSense transducer made by Sensor Technology in Oxon, which monitors the constantly changing flow characteristics of materials as diverse as tomato ketchup, chocolate, pasta sauce and chicken tikka massala as they are mixed. This is done by monitoring the torque on the mixer's shaft, as it will


move to a steady state (within the characteristics of the given recipe) once fluid uniformity is achieved. Real time process control is vital if food processors are to achieve the


ultimate in product quality. The sensor has to be able to detect the changes with sufficient sensitivity, yet be robust enough for regular wash-downs and general industrial abuse.
