From 21st to 25th October 2014 the sheet metal working industry meets in Hanover on the occasion of the EuroBLECH, the worldwide biggest exhibition of this industry. In hall 13, booth D 25 Carl Cloos Schweisstechnik GmbH will present a wide range of innovative welding technology. As a full liner CLOOS offers welding technologies from entry to high-tech and from manual machines to automated welding systems.

New generation of manual welding machines
The focus of the 200 m² exhibition booth is on the new product line of manual welding machines. In co-operation with Shenzhen Riland Industry CLOOS develops a completely new generation of welding machines which cannot yet be found in the high-tech portfolio of CLOOS nor in the RILAND program. CLOOS will present the new inverter welding machines at the EuroBLECH 2014 for the first time. During live-demonstrations of manual welding trade visitors can experience the wide model range of the CLOOS welding machines from entry to premium.

Automated solutions for all industries
The new 6kg QRH-280 welding robot is also one of the top highlights of the exhibition. This small, light and highly dynamic robot is perfectly suitable for the CLOOS cell solutions. The compact design saves production area and guarantees a very good accessibility to fixtures. This is particularly advantageous for customers in the automotive and electrical industry and medical engineering because they often dispose of a limited production area. Thanks to the lower mass and smaller lever arm the robot achieves higher speed and thus a better positioning accuracy. Another highlight is the new fully automated current tip and gas nozzle changer SpareMatic which allows non-stop welding with operative components. When the welding robot needs new nozzles, the automatic current tip and gas nozzle changer comes into play. The changer takes the torch consumables and replaces them for new ones. This process runs automatically and does not require an operator. The integrated torch cleaner and measurement module guarantee perfect welding results with shorter production times. Due to its compact, modular design, the SpareMatic can be integrated into both new and existing systems.

Innovative processes for perfect welding results
The CLOOS process competence is at the forefront in welding materials and components. The welding specialists will present the new Tandem Weld generation for process-safe and very quick and comfortable welding. In the case of Tandem Weld two separate welding wires are fed and melted simultaneously in one molten pool. The advantages of the Tandem Weld process are a high deposition rate, a high welding speed and thus a low heat input. Since 1996 CLOOS has been the global market leader in Tandem Welding and has continuously developed this process. They offer new process combinations for the most different requirements in thin and thick plate welding.

The MIG/MAG Narrow gap technology offers a particular economic efficiency for welding thick-walled component parts. The basis of the narrow gap technology is the rectangular narrow gap blade with a length of up to 400 mm which guides the wire electrode, the shielding gas and the cooling water. Due to the very small opening angle there is no extensive weld preparation and the quantity of filler material and shielded gas can be reduced. The relatively low energy supply during narrow gap welding provides special advantages even for steel and for high-strength fine grained structural steel.
