Precision Welding, Greater Productivity
How advanced welding technologies are benefiting parts large and small
BZI®’s R&D group, Innovatech®, recently developed a new technology for welders of heavy steel beams that is reported to optimize weld positioning (see the articles, New Beam Rotation System Reported to Optimize Weld Positioning, Improve Operator Safety, and Beam Rotator Enables Better Weld Positioning for Large Structural Parts). It’s just one of numerous advancements that are enabling welding teams to create more precise, reliable welds in challenging environments.
The BZI Beam Champ® 30 beam-rotating system reportedly improves welders’ access to all sides of the beam, reducing risks associated with beam handling and enabling safer, more efficient welding. Customers are said to have experienced a 20 percent improvement in productivity since they began using Beam Champ in their operation.
