Italian welding equipment supplier Commersald Impianti (www.commersald.com/it) is launching numerical controlled automation for glass mould repair. This task had previously remained dependent on the manual application of spray-fused canisters and powder products long after other aspects of the manufacturing process had been automated. The company believes its Robo series of workstations can perform all the necessary functions of repairing moulds and other glass accessories. The welding equipment, complete with torches and power supplies compatible with various movements, planned and constructed by Commersald, can be selected according to need. It is available in various configurations and with power ranging from 200-400 A. All these work centres are managed by numerical control (NC), with dedicated software for management of movements and for welding parameters. Programming is ISO standard, the same as normal NC machines for removing shavings. The company also supply Plasma Transferred Arc equipment. It also places emphasis in the assistance it provides, often external, for customers. This includes customising machines for specific requirements.
