* MIG 3840/T inverter - the MIG 3840/T inverter MIG/MAG power source is rated 380A at 40% duty cycle and can be used with solid and cored welding wires.
It is designed for interfacing with most branded robots; in this case it will be demonstrated on a KUKA 'KR5 arc' specifically designed for arc welding.
It is a 6-axis robot with a 5kg payload and a 1412mm reach.
* Plasma PROF 164 HQC power source - the Plasma PROF 164 HQC power source is fully microprocessor controlled and is rated 120A at 100% duty cycle.
It has a HV18 ignition unit and a PGC-1/2 gas console, which is a synergic parameters settings console.
It will be interfaced with a SMS SmartPLASMA 2.7m x 1.7m plasma-arc cutting table designed for producing highly intricate designs.
It uses either three or four 'SmartMotors', two precision gearboxes and integrated arc voltage torch height control system.
It can make rapid reversals and direction changes at speeds of up to 200 in/min (5m/min).
Managing director at Wilkinson Star, Stephen Murray, said: "MACH 2008 is an excellent platform on which to launch the latest Welding Automation systems available from Cebora.
As a Company, we have extensive experience in selling high technology welding products and our welding team has the knowledge and experience required to continue taking us forward with welding automation.
Welding Automation opens up new industries and opportunities for Wilkinson Star and also Cebora, who we have represented in the UK for many years".
