AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY NIGHT

Wednesday 17 August at 6:00pm (AEDT)

The event will be an opportunity to see the latest welding automation technology. It will highlight a broad range of applications to improve welding ergonomics, and increase productivity and quality. It will also cover various cost saving application and can easily double your production rate by increasing the arc time and reducing labour, gas and filler metal costs (P/m, P/f) compared to manual welding.

Held on-site at the TAFE SA Regency Campus, the presentation will demonstrate AristoMig 4004i Pulse welding machine with RobustFeed U6 and Pulse using the RailTrac B42, MiggyTrac B501 and MiggyTrac B5001 welding tractors.

AS 1796 2022: OVERVIEW FOR USERS Thursday 18 August at 10:00am (AEDT)

AS 1796 is the Australian Standard relating to the qualification of welders, welding supervisors and welding inspectors for pressure equipment.

WINNING BUSINESS CASE STUDY

Tuesday 30 August at 6:00pm (AEDT)

Welder certification is a crucial component to ensuring your business and team are in the best position to secure future work. As we emerge into the new normal, your welder’s capability to create welds to what the market is requiring is paramount. In this online session, using the Glencore model—The Glencore GCAA Welder Qualification Scheme—you will get insight into what is being required and what will set you up for success in securing future work. Also, the session will use case studies to illustrate the value and on why Glencore have implemented the scheme. The session will be presented by Gary Horner, who has worked in the coal industry all his life, including at the CSIRO, The Electricity Commission of NSW, Shell Service and Shell corporate and Glencore Coal Assets Australia.
