ESAB company, one of the leaders in the production of equipment and consumables for welding and cutting, took part in the international exhibition of metallurgy, metalworking and welding – UzMetalMashExpo 2023. It was possible to get acquainted with high-tech solutions at the stand of the official distributor of ESAB in Uzbekistan - General Welders company.
Today, innovative development is becoming the most important element of the development of the countries and regions of Central Asia. In particular, every year in Uzbekistan more and more attention is paid to the modernization of production, the use of innovations and modern equipment at industrial enterprises, as well as the introduction of robotic and automated solutions. In response to the market demand for high-tech solutions, ESAB has introduced a full range of welding equipment that covers the key needs of the Central Asian region.
Thus, the Aristo 500ix multiprocessor welding machine with an integrated QSet ™ intelligent welding system was presented at the stand. The system allows you to adjust the ratio of arc time and short circuit time, resulting in a warmer arc, while the short circuit frequency remains unchanged. Among other advantages of the equipment are up to 250 pre—programmed synergistic lines (with the U82 Plus panel), as well as protection according to the IP23 standard, which allows the device to be used outdoors, in severe weather conditions. In addition, the company's specialists demonstrated the Rebel EMP 205 AC/DC CE semi-automatic machine, the Renegade ET300iP EU inverter, the LHN 140i and LHN 160i inverters and the already legendary Rogue ET 200iP Pro welding machine.
A carriage for mechanized welding Miggytrac B5001 was presented among the auxiliary equipment. With its help, you can easily automate the process of semi-automatic welding, maintain a constant welding speed without loss of productivity. In terms of mechanized solutions, the specialists demonstrated Railtrac B42V, a modular welding system that is equipped with a transverse oscillation unit for mechanization of welding, surfacing and cutting processes. Also, visitors were able to get acquainted with the Robust Feed AVS universal wire feed unit with a flow meter. The solution is perfect for working in conditions that require mobility and reliability.
In addition, welding electrodes of the OK 53.70, OK 48P, OK 74.70 brands, welding wires SV-08G2C, Aristorod 12.50, 12.51, OK PRO 51C, PRO71 and filler rods OK Tigrod 12.64, 308 LSi, 316 LSi were presented at the General Welders stand. As well as welding torches PSF, SR.
While working with welding equipment, personal protective equipment is the forefront of occupational safety and health of employees. Therefore, along with the technological approach, ESAB expands the range of personal protective equipment. At the exhibition, the company presented a SAVAGE A40 9-13 mask with automatic dimming, providing high image clarity and natural color reproduction, as well as a PAPR forced air supply unit, leggings and clothing for welders.
"Uzbekistan has always been a strategically important and promising market for ESAB, where in recent years we have seen an active growth of industry and the introduction of digital and robotic solutions into production processes. Last year alone, Uzbekistan rose by 4 positions at once and took the third place in terms of innovative development among the countries of Central and South Asia, second only to India and Iran. Therefore, without any doubt, it is important for us to remain in the center of business activity and directly build relationships with our potential and existing customers, who, like us, are looking towards development and modernization. All this becomes possible thanks to a well-developed dealer network. General Welders is the official distributor and an important strategic partner of ESAB, which represents our interests in Uzbekistan at a high level," said Ekaterina Tatarinova, Sales Director of ESAB, Central Asia region.
"General Welders has been successfully operating in the welding equipment market for more than 10 years and over the years we have established ourselves as a reliable supplier and partner of ESAB equipment in Uzbekistan. Among our customers are the largest manufacturers from the oil and gas, construction and other industries. It is important to note that we, as well as ESAB, are supporters of an integrated approach and offer not just welding equipment, but also help our customers choose the optimal solution based on the tasks, as well as provide service support at all stages. Participation in the exhibition gave us the opportunity to hold many meetings and negotiations with existing partners, present the possibilities of ESAB equipment and consumables and establish new business ties. During the event, we noted the high interest of local publications in ESAB products. Journalists actively asked questions, inspected the stand and interviewed our employees. And, of course, such an interest of the industry market in the company's high-tech solutions cannot but please!", - added Shavkat Ismailov, Director of General Welders LLC.
