Aluminium wire from ESAB<br />
available in bulk drums<br />
AlcoTec aluminium welding wire is<br />
now available in the AlumaPak®,<br />
which has a capacity of more than<br />
135kg. This new bulk wire delivery<br />
system drastically reduces the downtime<br />
otherwise required for spool<br />
changes. This has a substantial<br />
impact on arc time and thereby on<br />
welding productivity.<br />
A special coiling technique with<br />
minimum cast and helix assures a<br />
perfectly straight wire for problemfree<br />
feeding and accurate positioning<br />
in the joint, making it highly<br />
suitable for mechanised and even<br />
robotic applications. No special<br />
decoiling equipment is needed. The<br />
system uses a reusable plastic cone<br />
with conduit and a conduit connector<br />
for fast set-up.<br />
AlumaPak is made from sturdy<br />
corrugated board with an internal<br />
plastic lining and a moisture-resistant<br />
coating, protecting the wire<br />
from dust and moisture. It comes<br />
with lifting straps for use with an<br />
optional lifting yoke for easy transport<br />
by fork-lift or crane.<br />
The empty AlumaPak can be easily<br />
folded flat by hand for efficient<br />
storage and is 100% recyclable.<br />

ESAB Coreshield 6 and<br />
Coreshield 8<br />
New self-shielded cored<br />
wires for structural<br />
welding<br />
Coreshield 6 and Coreshield 8 are<br />
the latest additions to the line of<br />
Coreshield self-shielded cored<br />
wires. They have been developed to<br />
comply with the stringent FEMA<br />
353 specifications for welding in<br />
earthquake-prone regions, such as<br />
the United States west coast. They<br />
are classified according to AWS A<br />
5.20-95: E70T-6 and E71T-8 respectively.<br />
Coreshield 6 is a downhand<br />
type, while Coreshield 8 is an allpositional<br />
type.<br />
The exceptional feature of these<br />
wires is that they combine weld<br />
metal strength and toughness with<br />
extremely high welder appeal. A<br />
smooth and stable arc, low spatter,<br />
easy-to-remove slag and low fume<br />
production make these wires more<br />
user friendly than any other wire in<br />
their class. As they are self-shielding,<br />
they are also easier to use for<br />
applications in the field, including<br />
retrofit work.<br />
By developing these wires, ESAB is<br />
offering fabricators a welding consumable<br />
that allows them not only<br />
to comply with strict building<br />
codes, but also significantly to<br />
enhance their productivity and<br />
enable easier welder qualification<br />
due to the high welder appeal and<br />
ease of use. The reaction to ESAB’s<br />
new Coreshield wires – from erection<br />
and fabrication companies, as<br />
well as union organisations responsible<br />
for welder training – has been<br />
extremely positive, not only in the<br />
United States but also in Pacific<br />
Rim countries where the product<br />
has been introduced.<br />
ESAB INTRODUCES NEW<br />
IMPROVED EYE-TECH<br />
AUTOMATIC HELMET<br />
The new Eye-Tech 5-13 automatic<br />
welding helmet, recently introduced<br />
by ESAB, offers significant<br />
advantages to the welder in terms<br />
of safety, comfort and convenience<br />
to help ensure higher welding productivity<br />
and quality.<br />
Based on an ergonomic design<br />
that incorporates modern, advanced<br />
electronics, the Eye-Tech 5-13<br />
embodies all the advantages and<br />
reliability of the traditional Eye-<br />
Tech helmet, with added features<br />
and improvements.<br />
The new Eye-Tech 5-13 can be<br />
used for most welding applications,<br />
including MIG, TIG and gas welding,<br />
as the darkness of the eye shade<br />
is continually adjustable between<br />
shades 5 and 13. The stylish automatic<br />
helmet has the traditional<br />
Eye-Tech design but comes in an<br />
attractive, heat-reflecting metallic<br />
silver finish.<br />
Powered by solar cells, the Eye-<br />
Tech 5-13 automatically switches<br />
from light to dark in only 0.0002<br />
seconds when an arc is struck, providing<br />
the welder with exceptional<br />
safety and convenience, coupled<br />
with outstanding optical quality.<br />
To perform cutting and grinding<br />
operations without removing the<br />
helmet, a grinding mode button<br />
allows the lens to remain clear for 10<br />
minutes – with a red warning light<br />
inside the helmet to remind the<br />
wearer when the grinding mode is<br />
selected. Comfort is assured thanks<br />
to stepless, continuously-variable<br />
adjustment for positioning the<br />
helmet that allows the operator to<br />
obtain perfect balance on the head,<br />
as well as optimum viewing angle<br />
for reduced fatigue and greater<br />
welding accuracy.<br />
CE approved in accordance<br />
with EN166/379, the ESAB Eye-<br />
Tech 5-13 can be used throughout a<br />
wide temperature range of –5ºC to<br />
+55ºC, can be fitted with magnifying<br />
lenses and an optional fresh<br />
air unit and has a total weight of<br />
approximately 500g.<br />
