ESAB increases investment in hybrid laser arc welding

The MPC is a patented real-time control system for managing the laser, MIG/MAG welding equipment and the motion system that carries the laser and MIG/MAG welding heads. ESAB has been working with ATS for more than six years to develop this adaptive welding control system for hybrid laser arc welding.

ESAB is committed to the HLAW process and has put in place an infrastructure so that it can manufacture, market, sell and support this process. In addition, the company will continue developing the process to create state-of-the-art hybrid laser arc welding systems that will help customers maximise productivity and maintain exceptional quality.

Brendan Colgan, CEO of ESAB Holdings, is excited about the acquisition which confirms the company’s ability to continuously develop innovative welding solutions to assist current and future customers. He says: “ESAB has demonstrated that new standards can be set that will provide the end user with improved productivity and quality. The company is clearly establishing itself as the welding authority, second to none, in delivering innovative technology to local and global markets.”
