In modern industry, automation improves the efficiency and quality of manufacturing processes.
An example of this is the welding helmets, an essential industrial part that has undergone significant improvements thanks to automation and the use of high-quality technical materials.
Automation has revolutionized the manufacture of the welding helmet, providing not only technical advantages but also an excellent aesthetic finish that meets the demands of the industry.
Automation and its benefits in welding helmet manufacturing
Automation in the manufacture of welding helmets has led to several key improvements that have transformed the way this crucial piece of worker protection is produced. Some of the most notable benefits include:
- Optimized manufacturing time and labour: greater efficiency has been achieved in the production of welding helmets, benefiting both manufacturers and customers.
- Less handling: processes that previously required manual handling have been minimized or eliminated altogether. This prevents parts from being soiled or damaged.
- Reduced lead time: faster delivery. Meets industry demands for tight production lead times.
- Cost savings: enables more efficient use of materials and reduces associated costs.
- Stability of the manufacturing process ensures consistency. This means that all parts meet the required quality standards, avoiding unwanted deviations in the final product.
Glass-fibre reinforced thermoplastic material: The key to success.
The use of a glass-fibre reinforced thermoplastic material has been fundamental to the success of the welding helmets.
This material offers an exceptional combination of design and ease of processing, together with outstanding mechanical properties that ensure optimum performance even under extreme conditions.
The outstanding characteristics of the glass-fibre reinforced thermoplastic material include:
- Outstanding mechanical properties: wear resistance and a low coefficient of friction, making it durable and suitable for prolonged use in demanding industrial environments.
- High melting point: The thermal stability of the material ensures it can withstand high temperatures without deformation, which is essential in welding and cutting applications.
- Impact and fatigue resistance: it can withstand shocks and impacts without losing its structural integrity, which improves user safety.
- Chemical resistance and toughness: The material is highly resistant to corrosion and various chemicals, which prolongs service life and makes it suitable for a wide variety of applications.
- Electrical insulation: The material's ability to provide good electrical insulation is vital to ensure worker safety in welding environments.
The welding helmets is the result of a successful combination of automation and the use of advanced technical materials.
This industrial-grade part has proven to be highly efficient, cost-effective and safe for workers, meeting the highest standards of quality and aesthetic finish.
