ESAB Welding Automation

The 21st century has brought many new challenges to the metal fabrication industry: metal fabricators must
meet the demand for increased quality while providing their customers with an overall lower cost; productivity
is challenged by the shortage of skilled workers; profitability is challenged by the pressure from intense global
competition. As a result, manufacturers are required to utilize new fabrication techniques to build increasingly
complex designs and structures.
Welding automation meets some of these
challenges with higher quality, capacity and, of
course, much higher productivity than manual
welding applications. At ESAB, we develop and
manufacture a wide range of mechanized and
automated welding products to create the special
solution you might need.
Whether your metal fabrication project requires
simple components such as tractors or requires
large turn-key system and production lines, we offer
a full range of automation products to meet every
need including the widest range of filler metals in
the world.
You can also rely on ESAB for total system

responsibility. Because we manufacture our own
equipment, we can integrate the welding process,
arc path and material handling. An integrated design
simplifies the equipment, improves reliability and
ensures unsurpassed performance.

Used as a guide, this catalogue can prove to be
a useful tool in determining the right solution for your
application. We encourage you to consult an ESAB
Representative for more detail regarding processes,
applications and customized solutions.

A6S SAW Strip Cladding Head

Used in combination with standard A6S Arc Master

welding head
Provides an economical solution for surfacing with
high alloyed materials such as stainless steel or
nickel-based alloys
Choose a wider variety of parent materials and
consumables
Stainless steel cladding is widely used in
production of components where additional
strength or corrosion resistance is required
Welding head can be fitted with electrode strips
as wide as 30-100 mm (1.2-4.0 in.) and as thick as
0.5 mm (0.02 in.)
RECOMMENDED POWER SOURCES: LAF 1250, 1600 and A2-A6

PEH Process Controller
ESW* - Electroslag Welding - is a method of strip cladding, but differs from SAW strip cladding in that the arc is created
between the electrode and the work piece. The welding flux that is put into the joint melts and a slag pool is produced,
which then increases in depth. When the temperature of the slag and its conductive capacity thereby increases, the arc is
extinguished and the welding current is conducted via the molten slag where the necessary welding energy is produced
through resistance. This method can be used for joining thicknesses of 25 mm (1 in.) and above.
* Contact ESAB for Options & Accessories and Technical Data for the ESW Welding Head.

ACCESSORY COMPONENTS
Rotatable Earth (Rotating Ground) Couplings
For a good connection to the workpiece to obtain

optimal welding performance
For rotating workpieces, an earth connection with
a rotatable earth coupling is the safest choice
To attach the coupling to the workpiece, special
clamps are available, see Earth Clamps below
NKK 600 - max. 600A, 2.2 Kg (4.8 lbs.).........................700 004 007
NKK 800 - max. 800A, 2.7 Kg (5.9 lbs.).........................700 004 001

NKK 2000 - max. 2000A, 7.3 Kg (16 lbs.)......................700 004 003
Earth Clamps for Rotating Workpieces
K2 or PZ3 earth clamps can be mounted directly

onto the rotatable earth coupling to create good
contact between the workpiece and the return
cable
Return clamps can also be used toegher with the
GA 800 handle connection to form a complete
earth clamp to handle high current welding on nonrotating workpieces

Camera Systems for Submerged and Open Arc Welding
Together with a laser or pilot lamp, control the welding

process from a convenient location
System consists of a purposeful designed camera with
built-in crosshair generator to provide a continuous
and distinct joint scanning
In combination with the 15 in. flat screen, it becomes a
unit for excellent control and joint tracking
Upon welding, the camera switches over to viewing
the pool, facilitating the supervision of the process
Optional overview camera will reproduce a picture of
the welded joint to get an immediate inspection of the
welding quality
Includes camera, camera housing, monitor, crosshair generator, camera
mounting bracket, work light, work light bracket, necessary cables

demand
Standard CaB Sizes
The manipulators are divided into three different sizes 300, 460 and 600. These sizes are the throat dimensions of the
boom in millimeters. Each size has a corresponding column. The different sizes are not only limited in where it can fit,
but also how far the boom can extend and how much load that can be put on.
Performance Categories
The system is divided into three different categories for performance:

S: Standard
Standard mechanical performance, no cable chain
A few options, camera-system, tacho-regulated speed and flux control
Only for Basic station 1
M: Modular
Standard mechanical performance, including cable chain for column and booms
More than 20 options fully integrated, such as tandem, shift function, transport speed etc
Only for Basic station 1
C: Customized
Based on the same mechanical performance as the S- and M- model
Based on the same electrical system as the M- model
Includes everything that is not a S- or M- model such as:
Basic station 2, 3, and 4
Odd sizes (ex. 4.35 m x 5.15 m)
Option demands not offered in S- or M- model.

Windmill Tower Manufacturing

Dedicated Solutions for Dedicated Manufacturers

The secret behind the efficient production of wind
towers is smooth component flow in the workshop. The
benefit of a high deposition welding process is completely
lost if the set-up or handling of components in any area
of the process fails or takes an unacceptable amount
of time. ESAB can assist with the welding and cutting
process in wind tower production and deliver finely tuned
solutions for each step in the production process.

With a complete package from ESAB, you only need
to work with one supplier for product, service and support.
This results in a large project being organized efficiently,
with a fixed cost and agreed time schedule. Smooth
production flow is a part of the complete delivery.

High productivity welding with a deposition rate of up to
40 Kg/hr with a tandem twin submerged-arc welding head is
possible. The process is specially designed for production
of wind towers where benefits for working in narrow weld
preparations with reduced weld volumes can be achieved.
This combination will result in dramatically reduced welding
time and increased productivity.

A dedicated wire and flux combination can eliminate
major obstacles such as reduced impact strength in the weld,
and poor slag release in narrow joints. Spoolarc 81 or OK
Autrod 12.22 wire and OK 10.72 flux from ESAB gives good
impact strength at -50oC (-58oF), to satisfy offshore wind tower
applications.

Friction Stir Welding (FSW)

FSW Process
Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is based on the principal of obtaining a sufficiently high temperature and pressure to join
two components together by using a rotating tool, which under high pressure, moves along the joint and thereby creates
a weld.
FSW is ideal for joining straight profiles and flat plates

from 1.2 to 30 mm (0.045-1.18 in.)
Butt, lap and corner joints can be welded
Round and circular welds can be welded with multiaxis
machines
Metals that can be welded include aluminum,
copper and magnesium
Can also weld dissimilar alloys and dissimilar materials
such as copper to aluminum, magnesium to aluminum
Advantages:
Much higher weld strength than conventional arc

welding
Very low distortion and shrinkage
No joint preparation - only de-greasing is required
Environmentally friendly - no fumes, arc glare, spatter
or noise
Extremely reliable process - expect year after year of
defect free welds
Applications:
88
Aluminum production of large extrusions, large panels,

girders and trusses, such as used in fast ferries, ships,
offshore living quarters and railway wagons
Aerospace, such as rocket fuel tanks, aircraft
structures and components
Production of cooling blocks, coolers and housings for
electrical motors
Aluminum in automotive applications, such as frame

each piece of equipment is generally customized to the
individual customers specifications. No two plants are
exactly alike, and very few applications are identical.

Among the many features to be found in ESAB cutting
systems are heavy-duty structural designs, rack-and-pinion
coordinate drives, advanced electronic controls and a wide array
of processes such as: oxy-fuel gas, plasma systems, waterjet
systems, laser systems, plate marking, routing and drilling.

From blueprint to shipment, every piece of equipment
undergoes rigid quality control procedures. Detailed examination
of component parts, specification checks and operational
testing result in equipment of the highest quality and expert
craftsmanship. Because of this, product performance is
unsurpassed.

Cored Wire
Process Advantages
Process
Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) and Metal Cored

Arc Welding (MCAW) are similar to MIG welding
as far as operation and equipment are concerned
Difference is that the wire is not solid, but consists
of a metal sheath surrounding a flux core
Wire begins as a flat metal strip, which is formed
into a U shape
Flux and alloying materials are deposited into the
U, which is then closed into a tube by a series of
forming rolls
High deposition rates

Excellent weld bead appearance with little or no spatter
Deep arc penetration when welding - allows tighter
joint design, reducing quantity of filler metal needed to
fill the joint
Wide selection of alloys available
Metal cored wires have high current capacity and
produce little or no slag - very high weld efficiency and
deposition rates are possible

Strip Cladding
Process
ESW Strip Cladding
Submerged arc welding (SAW) or electroslag welding

(ESW) typically used for cladding large areas
Both methods offer a high deposition rate, in terms
of both kg/h and area coverage (m2/h), combined
with low penetration and high deposit quality
Stainless steel strip cladding is widely used in
the production of components for the chemical,
petrochemical and nuclear industries
Process Advantages
Reduces requirement of expensive highly-alloyed

base material, such as stainless steel or nickelbase alloys
Can choose a wide variety of parent materials and
consumables
High deposition processes with low dilution
Allows for flexibility in the production of objects of
various shapes and sizes
A development of SAW strip; established as a reliable

high deposition rate process
An arcless method using ohmic heating to melt the
strip/flux/parent material
Current flows through the strip electrode and a comparatively
shallow layer of liquid electro-conductive slag
Penetration is lower for ESW than for SAW since the
molten slag pool is used to melt the strip and some of
the parent material rather than as an arc between the
strip electrode and the parent material
ESW strip surfacing reduces dilution by up to 50%
compared with SAW strip surfacing for the same heat
input with a significantly higher deposition rate
SAW Strip Cladding
An electric arc is formed between the strip

electrode and the workpiece
Flux is used to form a molten slag to protect the weld
pool from the atmosphere and helps form a smooth
weld bead surface
