Houston, TX ... CRC-Evans Automatic Welding is pleased to announce the introduction of its new P450 Automatic Welding Machine. The P450 gives higher productivity on projects previously limited to standard welding machines. Such projects include those less than 50 km, with the necessity of supporting both GMAW and Pulsed-GMAW, and diameters less than 16 inches, CRA, and other exotic materials, and with the flexibility of handling both 2G and 5G welding. It is a compact high-performance machine with tandem welding and single torch capability, and completely new engineering and computerized electronics.

Higher levels of productivity can be achieved because CRC-Evans designed the P450 with tandem welding capabilities – an innovation in which two welding wires are fed through a single head to increase deposition rates and welding speeds. Every technological aspect of this machine is newly designed, and includes full through the arc positioned based tracking (vertical and horizontal), positioned based parameter control, and PDA interface. The end result is that it can provide a wider productivity range and more project flexibility.

“With the ability to work faster and more flexibly,” says Brian Laing, president of CRC-Evans Automatic Welding, “the P-450 enables projects previously handled by standard machines to come in on time and on budget. Nothing could be more important in such a project arena.”
