ESAB transitions HKS weld monitoring equipment to ESAB name, colors
- January 14, 2022
- News Release
- Arc Welding
ESAB Welding & Cutting Products, Annapolis Junction, Md., has announced that all HKS brand equipment, which includes the flagship WeldQAS Quality Assurance System for real-time monitoring and recording of arc characteristics, have been rebranded as ESAB products. The company acquired HKS in 2017.
The monitoring systems operate independent of welding equipment brand and process, so anyone can use them. In robotic and automated welding, production of critical components, and high-volume/high-speed operations, an immediate alert or automated system that can stop the process without operator intervention can save thousands of dollars in rework or scrap, the company states.
“Products such as WeldQAS and WeldScanner can automate a tedious and costly process that is also prone to human error,” said Robert Träger, global product manager for welding analytics. He explained that the need for documentation and traceability is growing, especially in the power, wind tower, offshore, pressure vessel, shipbuilding, energy, and petrochemical market segments that ESAB serves with its integrated welding and cutting systems.
