ESAB Canada announced last week that it has created an awards program to help high schools with their equipment needs. ESAB Group Canada, Inc. established this award to further support students who choose a career in welding/welding technology and the schools who help them achieve their goals by offering welding/welding technology courses as part of their curriculum.

CWB Group has announced that it has moved its head office to a bigger facility in Milton, ON. The move creates an opportunity for the organization to expand its services to the welding industry. 

Do you think your shop is too small for a robotic welding system? Do your calculations show that you are not producing enough parts to consider automation? Do you think you would never be able to justify the cost of a system to top management? If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, you may be surprised to note that shops who may have never considered automation before, are now turning to robotic systems in record numbers. There are a number of reasons for this.
