It is estimated that the first resemblance of welding was well over 2000 years ago during the iron-age, when the Ancient Egyptians still had a stronghold in the Mediterranean. Since then, welding has come a long way, exponentially transforming just as technology has. Welding has become an integral part of civilisation being used in almost every facet of our modern-day societies. As technology and society continue to evolve, it is vitally important that the welding industry keeps up with it. Industrial welding leads the charge in this regard. And so finding the perfect industrial welder can be difficult, competitive, and tough to find. Fortunately, we’ve found it for you.
First, we must understand what an Industry is. The economic term for an industry is “economic activity concerned with the processing of raw materials and manufacture of goods in factories”. For example, one might refer to the automotive industry or to the construction industry.
Therefore industrial welding is a term used to describe welding in any industrial environment. Understanding the pivotal role that welding plays in countless industries cannot be understated because without this form of metal work, so many things including buildings, planes, ships, kitchen appliances, vehicles and even space travel - would not exist.
The perfect industrial welder should be reliable, solid, convenient, efficient and most importantly, productive! It should possess all the latest and innovative technology available to improve performance as well as a user-friendly experience. These industrial welders are likely to be put through the trenches, so must be specially constructed and ready to withstand any demanding environmental or production challenges thrown its way. It must be made to last, and made to endure any welding involving heavy fabrication, structural fabrication, transportation, shipbuilding & offshore industries.
At the very least, your Industrial Welder should have the following capabilities:
The Powertec® iS range was made for most Industrial MIG applications. Using the latest inverter technology, both models offer an easy to use, high output, reliable industrial solution whilst giving excellent power cost efficiency and lower energy consumption. They are ready to work in even the most demanding environmental and production conditions.
Choosing between the Powertec® i350S Industrial MIG Package or the Powertec® i500S Industrial MIG Package depends on the number of amps you are likely to use. However, both machines will ensure it will meet all your MIG, Stick and Gouging needs with interest. Both machines come with ‘Ready-to-weld” packages which include:
The Powertec range has latest Inverter technology. Being equipped with such a high efficiency power source leads to drastically lower power consumption as well as energy saving costs. As well as this, these machines also possess automatic power-saving modes (standby / shutdown function) which further add to its power efficiency.
The Powertec industrial welders contain less wiring and fewer connections than previous designs. The printed circuit boards are environmentally shielded being fully encapsulated providing protection from the harsh industrial environments.
They are ergonomic and efficient in every detail from configuration of systems, separate wire-feeding units, intuitive interface with 7inch/ 178mm colour TFT, dedicated accessories and many other features that enhance your capabilities when it comes to industrial welding. Both the Powertec i350S and the Powertec i500S were made to be user friendly without compromising on the diverse applications an industrial standard welder should be able to accomplish. With a digital display, whether it be changing the settings or changing the welding current, following the prompts on the display make for a more appreciative and enjoyable user experience.
