Welding equipment and welding machines

Why choose professional CORMAK welding machines?

• High energy efficiency: The use of modern inverter systems and fibre sources in laser welding machines significantly reduces operating costs.
• Precision and repeatability: High-rigidity components used in manipulators and rotators ensure stable guidance of the arc or laser beam.
• Comprehensive safety: Integrated welding fume extraction systems and high-performance fume fans effectively remove harmful substances, including spark inhibition.
• System modularity: Easy integration of welding rotators with existing robotic or manual workstations.
• Intuitive control: Advanced controllers allow precise programming of welding parameters and workpiece movement paths.

Types of welding machines – characteristics and applications

The welding machinery category covers a wide range of equipment, differing in joining technology and level of process automation. A key distinction is made between power sources and auxiliary equipment supporting positioning and workplace protection.

• Laser welding machines (Fibre): State-of-the-art technology enabling aesthetic welds with minimal heat input. Ideal for thin sheets, stainless steel and aluminium where distortion must be avoided.
• Welding positioners and manipulators: Mechanical devices used to optimally position the workpiece relative to the operator or robot. Welding manipulators allow smooth height and tilt adjustment, essential for large-scale welding.
• Welding rotators: Specialised equipment for welding cylindrical components (pipes, tanks). They ensure constant rotational speed, resulting in uniform welds around the entire circumference.
• Filtration and ventilation systems: This group includes stationary and mobile welding fume extractors as well as dedicated manual plasma extraction systems, designed to capture fine metallic dust generated during thermal cutting.

How to select welding equipment for your production profile?

Choosing the right machine should be preceded by a technological process analysis. Consider not only the type of material being welded, but also the required productivity and workstation ergonomics.

Main selection criteria:

• Material thickness and type: For thin precision components (up to 4–5 mm), laser welding machines are the optimal solution. For heavy steel structures, power output and workpiece positioning capability are crucial.
• Load capacity and workpiece diameter: When selecting welding positioners, maximum torque and permissible centric and eccentric loads must be considered.
• Process intensity: Multi-shift operation requires a high-performance fume fan with high negative pressure and automatic filter cleaning.
• Level of automation: Processes requiring repeatability benefit from systems equipped with programmable PLC controllers.

Construction and key technical solutions

The design of CORMAK welding machines is based on rigid steel frames, eliminating vibration during operation of welding rotators. Laser welding machines utilise low-attenuation fibre optics and wobble heads, allowing dynamic adjustment of weld width. Systems such as manual plasma extraction systems are equipped with high-efficiency filter cartridges (H13 class or higher), ensuring clean air is returned to the production hall.

Industrial and B2B applications

Our solutions are used in the automotive industry (welding of body and frame components), shipbuilding, and pressure vessel manufacturing. Welding manipulators are essential in factories producing agricultural and construction machinery, where handling heavy components requires precise mechanical assistance. The HVAC sector most commonly relies on mobile extraction systems to maintain health and safety standards at assembly workstations.

Frequently asked technical questions (FAQ)

What is the advantage of laser welding compared to TIG/MIG technology?

Laser welding offers up to ten times higher welding speeds, a significantly smaller heat-affected zone (no distortion), and the ability to join materials of different thicknesses without extensive edge preparation.

What should be considered when selecting welding positioners?

Key factors include not only load capacity, but also table tilt range, smooth speed control and the presence of a through-hole in the table axis, facilitating shielding gas supply.

Is a fume fan required for every welding station?

According to health and safety regulations, extraction of harmful substances is required at every welding workstation. A high-performance fume fan protects operator health and prevents dust accumulation on other machines in the hall.

Can a manual plasma extraction system handle dust from laser cutting?

Yes. Although manual plasma extraction systems are optimised for plasma dust characteristics, their high filtration efficiency allows effective use across various thermal cutting processes.
