New developments in welding torches

Welding technology involves processes that are bound by the laws of physics. As a result, developments do not always proceed at a rapid pace. To really innovate requires know-how, a lot of know-how. And that is what distinguishes Abicor Binzel from its competitors. The German specialist in welding torches constantly tinkers with optimizations that have two things in mind: higher comfort for the welder and higher constancy and efficiency in welding. And with results, so that you can save costs and achieve higher productivity.

In a welding process, a multitude of parameters come together, all of which have their influence in the end result. The fact that the welding torch is an important part of this has everything to do with the fact that it is the part that is in the hands of the welder. For Abicor Binzel, therefore, one of the main focuses of new developments in recent years has been welding comfort. Especially for MIG/MAG welding, where tough working conditions are common. In this respect, the MB EVO series has set new standards where ergonomic design goes hand in hand with robustness and durability. In addition, the air-cooled welding guns in this series feature the lightweight BIKOX LW hose package, making them up to almost 40% lighter for the same electric current capacity and load capacity. They also realize a longer service life than conventional guns.

New cooling for better performance and longer life

With water-cooled air pistols, the weight factor is less decisive. The unmatched  While the ergonomic design of the MB EVO PRO guns will give the welder a greater sense of control and comfort in all welding positions, the difference also lies in the updated cooling concept that takes the performance of these welding guns to the next level. This not only increases the life of wear parts but realizes additional power allowing welding at higher capacities. These are almost invisible changes, as the torches remain visually similar, but they are nevertheless of great importance for the quality of welding and the weld.

The M12 contact tip, which screws directly onto the inner tube, ensures optimum electrical and thermal conductivity.

Higher process stability thanks to developed contact tips

In addition, developments in contact tips also count. Abicor Binzel succeeded in creating even higher process stability with some innovations. The wear parts of the liquid-cooled W600 series are thus adapted to the high performance of the gooseneck. Their design guarantees extreme durability. The M12 contact tip, which screws directly onto the inner tube, ensures optimum electrical and thermal conductivity. For applications with very high thermal load and duty cycle, the special HDS contact tips, with their sintered core, offer a very long service life. This allows the welding process to continue for a very long time while maintaining process stability. And that is crucial for those who want to go robotic welding.

Matched extraction unit and welding gun for efficient extraction

Abicor Binzel is also by no means at the end of its rope when it comes to integrating fume extraction on welding guns. Such welding guns have already evolved from bulky and heavy to an ergonomic design that nevertheless also continues to extract adequately. After all, that should be their primary function. New developments are expected this year in that regard. During the last Welding Week, Abicor Binzel already demonstrated the advantages of a fume extraction gun and a fume extraction unit that are perfectly matched to each other in terms of vacuum, capacity ... The xFUME VAC ADVANCED is ideal for two totally independently operating RAB GRIP HE welding guns with high suction power, an automatic cleaning function and universal applicability. The RAB GRIP HE is characterized by good accessibility, high suction efficiency and its robustness.
