Car-O-Liner releases new range
Welding Equipment: Special Feature
Car-O-Liner's new family of resistance and mig/mag welders offers increased performance and durability for modern day production body shops, and also meets specific requirements for vehicle manufacturers.
Car-O-Liner has two resistance welders, and both offer unique features in performance and power.
The CR 100 is a multi-functional, two-phase 32-amp resistance welder that produces a very powerful 8000 amps at the tips, and has four cables, two for the C-tong and two for the multi-function gun. The CR 100 has a unique C-tong designed for easy access and easy changing of the C-arm.
The CR 300 is a third-generation spot welder, a unique, multi-functional, three phase 32 amp and four cable resistance welder which produces a massive 9500 amps at the tips. The CR 300 has six easy-to-select welding programs with 10 power levels on each program and an LCD display that shows the elected program.
The CR 300 features the same unique C-tong, air-cooling, and multi-function as the CR 100.
Car-O-Liner also offers three compact, high performance mig/mag welders; the CM181, CM193 and CM 273.
All have a built-in mps control box which allows users to automatically spot and stitch weld. As an option, it is possible to have a remote torch to control mps.
CM181 is a 160 amp single-phase mig weld. It can hold 6-8mm wire and either 5-15kg reels. CM193 is a 180amp three-phase. It can hold 6-10mm wire and 5-15kg reels. CM 273 is a 250-amp three-phase mig and aluminium welder which can hold 6-12mm steel wire, and in aluminium 1mm.
Complimentary to the spot and mig welders, Car-O-Liner offers a spot weld drill, which comes complete in a moulded plastic case with 3 x 8mm drill bits and oil, as well as a 25,000 revolutions per minute, 2" flexible sander with quick twist pad replacement and the AP95 air-puller. Good for hail, small dents, panel shrinking and panels where access is nil or limited. It has a power lift and can be adapted to CR 100 and CR 300 as standard.

Heavy-duty pin welder
Australian Warehouse Distributors has released a new, heavy-duty, 240V pin welder with a low heat transformer especially designed for repairing today's lightweight, high strength steel vehicle body panels. The new model MS1000 welds moulding studs, draw pins, pull washers and claw pull wire and can be used for shrinking stressed material.
Burn-through associated with existing equipment is virtually eliminated with the new, low heat, powerful, lightweight transformer, which combines with the choice of pin, washer or claw pulls to result in reduced repair times.

Hirane spot welding systems
Hirane Company of Japan has been manufacturing spot welders since 1976. In 2002, Hirane is offering a complete new generation of spot welders, giving the customer even more facilities from one machine.
The Three Phase Model AS200 offers an output of 75KVA from a D.C. Full Wave Transformer. This model is the most powerful portable spot welder of its type, producing the closest possible factory type welds. Hirane's patented Three-Cable System for Single Sided Spot Welding uses a system of two Earth Shoes and one Electrode, which gives 20 per cent more current passing through the weld. The AS200 also has a patented Weld Through facility for use in welding coated and painted surfaces.
Hirane Autospotter utilises air cooled cables and transformer, which allow continuous welding for long periods. The Autospotter package includes manual and air operated double sided guns and a full range of accessories for dent pulling, stitch welding, copper shrinking, carbon shrinking and nut, stud and washer welding.

Size doesn't matter!
Smash repairers who require a full-size welder will benefit from Esab's Smashweld 185. Priced as an entry-level welder, the 185 is not a toy, says the company. Compact, robust and built tough, the welder features all-metal construction. Smashweld 185 works off mains power and easily welds steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Six voltage settings allow easy fine tuning and provides the essential welding control for small workshop use. Weighing only 65 kg, the welder measures 460 x 800 x 503mm.
The 185 comes with the PSF welding gun, a quality unit normally found in higher priced welders. Smashweld 185 easily takes the large 15kg 300mm spools, as well as the smaller 5kg 30mm spools normally associated with smaller welders. Wire sizes range from 0.6-0.8mm for steel and stainless steel, 0.8-1.0mm for aluminium and 0.8-0.9mm in cored wire.
The welder comes with a wheeling kit, with gas cylinder tray as standard. A rubber mat covered top is ideal for tool storage. A shielding gas regulator is available as an option.

Electra Beckum range
The Electra Beckum MIG/MAG series is focused on reliability and superior duty cycle times (ratio of welding time and resting time). Each of the three welders available comes with a workplace equipment set; visor, cables, torch, anti-spattering spray and wire brush. The copper coil transformers have a five-year warranty.
The MIG/MAG 170/30 TL has a maximum duty cycle of 30 per cent at 160 Amps, while the 210/40 ET has variable controls with a maximum duty cycle of 40 per cent at 210 Amps. The welder also features stepless adjustable feed rate and dual drive rollers for precise and constant wire feed. The top of the range 260/60 ET has a maximum duty cycle rate of 60 per cent at 260 Amps, as well as stepless adjustable feed rate and dual drive rollers.
