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."
