Harris Products Group professionals assist with Skills USA brazing competition

-

 High school students attending the annual Skills USA national competition June 20-24, 2022, got a chance to hone their brazing skills and learn more about careers in numerous industries.

The competitions for each industry included a series of testing stations to assess skills. For the brazing competition, pros from The Harris Products Group, a manufacturer of cutting, welding, brazing, and soldering equipment, demonstrated proper brazing techniques, reviewed safety lessons, and tested students on their skills. Students were given one hour to complete a closed-loop system of copper-to-copper and copper-to-steel connections while nitrogen purging. Harris tested their connections with a pressure/leak test.

The overall first, second, and third place winners in each category were awarded cash and product prizes.

11th Edition of International Conference on Welding Technology https://welding-conferences.sciencefather.com/ Award Nomination - https://x-i.me/arunom Abstract Submission- https://x-i.me/arumem Welding of tracks for metro tunnel done Kanpur: The work of laying and welding of rail tracks in the ‘upline and ‘downline’ of the approximately 1260 metre-long underground tunnel between Bada Chauraha and Nayaganj Metro station was completed, and the work of casting the track slab started on Thursday. For track construction, the process of bringing down the railway tracks started from August 2. The FBW (Flash Butt Weld) plant was lowered to the ground to lay and weld 268 rail tracks, each 18 metre-long and weighing one tonne, near the under-construction Bada Chauraha Metro station. In less than a month, the process of welding and laying of rails in both the ‘upline’ and ‘downline’ tunnels has been completed, claimed the Metro authorities. After this, preparations for casting the slabs under th...

Collaborative robot welding packages are a viable solution for small and medium-sized job shops. They are easy to implement and operate without prior robotic experience and require a lower overall investment. Lincoln Electric The demand for robotic welding systems on small to medium-sized shop floors grows steadily, reflecting the urgency of job shops to make their operations more efficient and competitive in the face of the notoriously tight market for manual welders. This is a relatively new phenomenon. Up until recently, the uptake of robotic welding had been more prevalent in heavy industries. The prevailing perceptions that robots are costly, inflexible, and difficult to program have deterred small-scale companies from investing in the technology. Another principal area of concern has been safety. Like any other piece of machinery, an industrial robot typically operates in an environment safeguarded by barriers, screens, and other protective measures to shield human workers from t...

The welding industry has adopted robots to ensure consistent quality, maximize productivity, and facilitate cladding applications. With the constant evolution of technology and the development of construction and infrastructure, the global market for welding gear is expected to reach over £12 billion by 2026 (over $14.7 billion). Technological advancements in the welding industry can bring a wide range of benefits, transforming the way welding operations are performed. Among many other things, they can increase efficiency, reduce downtime, enhance safety, offer better precision, and improve the quality of welding processes overall. So what are the latest, most innovative tools that are driving the sector forward? Let’s take a look at some of the tech introductions that are already starting to shape the future of the welding industry. Robotics Over the years, more and more sectors have been using robots to facilitate their day-to-day operations. In more recent times, the welding indust...
