This 400 Amp system features a full 100% Duty Cycle @ 400A, liquidcooled High Precision torch and fully automatic gas control which easily integrates into most CNC controllers. It is designed for high quality production cutting up to 50mm but is also suitable for high quality cutting and piercing up to 60mm. Maximum cut capacity is 100mm. This system is ideal for bevel cutting and robotic applications and uses the XTR short-profile torch which can be fitted to a wide range of robots from many different suppliers. Specially designed, pointed consumables are available which offer outstanding quality bevel cuts and excellent visibility for precise positioning in robotic applications. For details contact: Weldability-SIF T: +44 (0)1462 482200 E: gareth@weldability-sif.com W: www.weldability-sif.com NEW SIFBRONZE ECO PASTE FLUX Sifbronze ECO paste flux is a boric-acid free solution that can be applied directly to the weld joint or as a ‘deep dip’ to the filler rod to aid cleaning and consumable flow when oxy/acetylene brazing and for other welding applications on mild steel, copper alloys and cast iron. A feature of this patented paste flux is that it is ecologically clean in that it does not contain traditional noxious ingredients normally associated with brazing fluxes and meets the European Union REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals) regulations introduced in June 2007. This pre-mixed paste flux can be used in a wide range of applications and it can be used by itself, where 3 fluxes would have been used in the past and has a melting point starting from 420°C.

They are lightweight and comfortable enough for all-day wear. With a choice of clear or grey lenses, they can be used indoors or outdoors for a wide variety of industrial applications. The grey lens offers excellent protection against sun glare when used in an outdoor environment. Both products protect against high-speed particles tested at extremes of temperatures (between –5oC and +55oC), in accordance with the European Standard EN166:2001. They also feature CE-approved anti-scratch optical class 1 lenses which protect against UV radiation and sun glare (grey lenses only) to the EN170:2002 and EN172:1994 standard respectively. PRODUCT For details contact: JEI Solutions Ltd T: +44 (0)1706 229490 E: sales@jeisolutions.co.uk W: www.jeisolutions.co.uk AUTOMATIC PLATE BEVELLER A new innovation in weld preparation technology is the BM-26 has been designed to carry out the beveling of steel plates in an automatic role without the assistance of an operator. The BM-26 operates on a guide track system, with simple positioning and easy start up procedure, using a purpose built milling head equipped with high quality carbide Inserts. It has a maximum beveling width of 35mm, with the ability of face off plate at 0 degrees, right through to a 60 degree angle. Another key feature is the ability to simply produce a J bevel form with an optional attachment and tooling available.
