ESAB Welding & Cutting Products showcased several new products and innovative processes at Fabtech 2012 in Las Vegas. Held November 12-14, 2012, more than 26,000 people attended the show, which is the largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event in North America.
ESAB unveiled Warrior - a new multi-process power source and feeder. Warrior is designed for shipbuilding, rail car construction, mobile machinery construction, energy generation construction, pipe welding, general fabrication, and repair and maintenance. Developed for GMAW (MIG), FCAW (Flux-Cored), SMAW (Stick), and GTAW (TIG) welding, as well as ACAG (Arc Gouging), Warrior delivers up to 500 amps @ 60% duty cycle.
"Warrior was a big hit at Fabtech," said Greg Stauffer, Vice President for Sales Support and Standard Equipment (ESAB North America). "Our customers told us they needed a rugged, workhorse of a machine that could withstand harsh welding environments. Warrior gives them superior welds time after time - you have the reliability and efficiency of inverter technology."
ESAB also showcased the PowerCut 400 - one of the newest additions to the Plasmarc PowerCut line of manual plasma cutting systems. The PowerCut 400 can cut metal up to 3/8" thick.
In addition, ESAB also introduced the Purox Elite Series of gas apparatus products, which delivers top-of-the-line quality at a competitive price.
ESAB Cutting Systems exhibited a wide range of innovative products on its Avenger X large cutting gantry. Including a plasma beveling system, a new drill station and enhanced software capabilities.
ESAB Automation announced its partnership with KUKA Robotics. They've teamed up to produce a complete package of ready-to-weld robotic equipment: the new Swift Arc AL Robotic Welding Cell. This angle loader robot system is an economic configuration for a complete work cell - ideal for job shops introducing robotics to their applications.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
