CRC-Evans introduces new P450 Automatic Welder

In Houston, CRC-Evans has rolled out a new automatic welder, the P450.

For certain kinds of applications, this welding machine is worth a look - it's an automatic welder that can do jobs previously only done with standard welders. Its range includes those jobs with less than 50km, the need to support GMAW and Pulsed GMAW, and diameters sixteen inches or less. It'll do CRA and other exotic stuff. I find it interesting that it will handle 2G & 5G welding. It's compact, and tandem welding or single torch abilities.

According to Oil Online, higher levels of productivity can be achieved because CRC-Evans designed the P450 with tandem welding capabilities – an innovation in which two welding wires are fed through a single head to increase deposition rates and welding speeds. Every technological aspect of this machine is newly designed, and includes full through the arc positioned based tracking (vertical and horizontal), positioned based parameter control, and PDA interface. The end result is that it can provide a wider productivity range and more project flexibility.

“With the ability to work faster and more flexibly,” says Brian Laing, president of CRC-Evans Automatic Welding, “the P-450 enables projects previously handled by standard machines to come in on time and on budget. Nothing could be more important in such a project arena.”
