A strategic collaboration between ESAB, a leading provider of welding solutions, and Linde Gas & Equipment has made it possible for U.S. fabricators to access cutting-edge welding technology that can significantly improve performance and profitability in their operations. As part of this partnership, Linde will be selling welding technology from German manufacturer EWM exclusively in North America. This move is expected to provide a boost to the metal fabrication industry, enabling manufacturers to produce high-quality products with greater efficiency and accuracy.
The partnership between ESAB and Linde marks an exciting development for the U.S. fabricators who will have access to EWM's advanced welding systems. These systems are designed to tackle common challenges faced by production fabricators, such as reducing spatter, increasing travel speed, and achieving good penetration on narrow bevels on thick plate.
EWM technology offers a range of solutions for fabrication problems, including the use of EWM React, forceArc puls, Positionweld, rootArc puls, coldArc puls, wiredArc puls, and superPuls. These processes can help fabricators to overcome issues such as over-penetration, bridging gaps on root passes, welding vertical up, fume emission, and controlling heat input on thin materials or heat-sensitive alloys.
The partnership between ESAB and Linde will showcase three EWM welding systems at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026 in booth S63335, South Hall, Level 1. These systems are the Titan XQ 500 puls, Titan XQ 400 puls, and Phoenix XQ 505 puls multiprocess/pulsing welding systems.
The EWM welding systems on display at CONEXPO will feature EWM's proprietary waveforms, which have been engineered to address common pain points in production fabrication. These waveforms are designed to provide improved performance, increased efficiency, and enhanced product quality.
Linde's metal fabrication specialists will be on hand at the CONEXPO event to demonstrate how the EWM welding systems can be applied to various applications. They will showcase the benefits of using these systems for specific use cases, such as welding vertical up or working with thin materials.
The collaboration between ESAB and Linde is a significant development in the North American market, providing fabricators with access to advanced welding technology that was previously unavailable. This move is likely to have a positive impact on the industry, enabling manufacturers to produce high-quality products with greater efficiency and accuracy.
As the metal fabrication industry continues to evolve, it's clear that access to cutting-edge technology will be increasingly important for success. The partnership between ESAB and Linde marks an exciting step forward in this regard, providing U.S. fabricators with the tools they need to stay competitive.
With the introduction of these advanced welding systems, fabricators can expect to see improvements in productivity, quality, and overall efficiency. This is likely to have a positive impact on the bottom line for manufacturers, enabling them to produce high-quality products at lower costs.
