Thanks to the advanced products of Lincoln
Electric and the centennial existence of Co Ban Kiat
Hardware Inc. as an unsleeping distributor of their
products, there are brighter days for the automotive
and transportation, general and heavy fabrication,
maintenance and repair, offshore construction,
pipeline and pipe mill integration, power generation
and process, different forms of energy generation
(liquefied natural gas, nuclear, thermal, and wind),
pressure vessel fabrication, ship building, and
structural and construction industries. Truly, this
partnership caters to a vast array of industries in
a country that aims to continually transform the
hardware arena with excellent service.
While it is certain that Lincoln Electric holds
many advanced equipment in its arsenal, there
are a handful of tools that can be called best of the
best in the categories of plasma cutting equipment,
submerged arc welding equipment, welding
simulation, engine drives, commercial inverters,
and welding consumables.
The Tomahawk 1500 is a top tier plasma cutter.
With the ability to finely cut artwork and fabricate
steel parts in a production setting, the Tomahawk
1500 is a simple albeit reliable machine that does
not back away from difficult jobs. It is versatile,
arming itself with a single-phase or 3-phase, 200
to 575-volt input power for cutting, gouging, and
grid-cutting tasks anytime, anywhere.
Those dealing with submerged arc welding
equipment category are quick to choose the Power
Wave AC/DC 1000 Subarc Welder to help them
with their jobs. It delivers Waveform Control
Technology to the SAW category. Users are able to
choose constant current or voltage operation while
adjusting any variable frequency and amplitude.
Truly, this machine results in increased weld speeds,
higher quality welds, and improved efficiencies
either in single or multi-arc environs.
Those training to be master welders may practice
with Lincoln Electric's virtual trainer, the VRTEX
360+ Dual User Virtual Reality Welding Training
Simulator. This virtual trainer adds a touch of fun
to an otherwise serious and somewhat precarious
