According to an article in the current issue of FABRICATING AND MANUFACTURING magazine, RealWeld Systems offers a game-changing step forward in professional welding training. The RealWeld Trainer, developed by EWI, provides data-driven live feedback to welders, making it an ideal tool for training, retraining, and skills evaluation in large welding shops. […]
Read MoreHere’s a test to see if you’re a Common Man… If I asked you (95% of the people reading this blog) to describe what welding is, I’m guessing you would describe one of two things: Arcs and/or Sparks. When I started here at EWI as CFO, I pictured either a guy flipping down his welding […]
Read MoreMore and more, robotic welding is becoming a viable option for use in heavy fabrication. The sophistication and capacity of modern robot systems is suitable for large structures which require multi-pass welds. Processes used for heavy fabrication such as preheating, gas metal arc welding (GMAW), flux cored arc welding (FCAW), tandem gas metal arc welding […]
Read MoreI just heard that EWI was listed on COLUMBUS BUSINESS FIRST’s prestigious “Central Ohio Innovators” list in 2012. While this may not be a surprise to EWI associates and partners, its great recognition for the leading-edge work – including nine patents between 2006 and 2010 – developed by our small corps of engineers. COLUMBUS BUSINESS […]
Read MoreGot a tough combination of molded components? Normally we weld, but sometimes the two materials are welding incompatible or the welding conditions are too extreme in temperature or time for the size of the part or complexity of the design. In that case, the option is to bond the materials. Bonding thermoplastics is a little tricky […]
