Koike releases welding packages for pipe welding, SAW

Koike Aronson Ransome offers two new welding packages—one for pipe welding and the other for SAW. The pipe welding package incorporates the new Cricket-I welding manipulator and the company’s standard Wel-Handy Multi Next and WU-3 weaver mounted on the end of the boom. This package is configured to use the 3- by 3-in. manual cross slide and built-in weaving functionality to automate pipe welding.

The SAW package includes a 6- by 6-ft. Cricket-II manipulator with powered lift and manual reach, self-standing base, and mast rotation. Mounted to the end of the boom is a manual 6- by 6-in. cross slide for torch adjustment. Flux hopper and mounting for positioner or turning roll controls and SAW feeder controls are located at the end of the boom.
