Airgas to Feature Advanced Fabrication Innovations at FABTECH 2023

Airgas, an Air Liquide company, will showcase its comprehensive offer for the welding and fabricating industries at this year’s FABTECH Expo, held September 11 through September 14, 2023, at Chicago’s McCormick Place, Exhibit #B20020.

The Airgas exhibit will include a series of short talks, from Airgas team members on challenges in advanced fabrication, including 3D printing, what you need to know about implementing automation, sizing your laser gas system and more.

To help customers find efficiencies in their processes and learn more about new technologies, the Airgas exhibit will showcase a wide range of products and services, including:

Certified Low-Carbon Bulk Gases:

• ECO ORIGIN™ certified low-carbon bulk liquid argon, nitrogen and oxygen gases, that offers customers the opportunity to reduce their Scope 3 emissions by providing a complete product cycle offsetting with net zero emissions.

Welding:

• ARCAL™: ARCAL gas cylinders come equipped with SMARTOP™ or EXELTOP™ valve technology to help improve productivity and create a safer work environment. The ARCAL line includes five ready-to-weld pure argon and argon gas mixtures, and provides welders with high quality shielding gas that allows them to produce better welds.
• Unlocking the Hidden Cost of Welding™ (UHCW) Program: Customers can sign up for the UHCW program to help their welding operations stay competitive through continuous improvement. Digital Welding Efficiency Analysis™ (DWEA™), a monitoring solution that gives customers visibility into how they are performing in comparison to their goals and against their peers, will also be on display with live dashboards in the FABTECH booth.

Hardgoods and Safety:

• Women’s PPE Collection on Airgas.com: Airgas continues to build momentum around PPE products designed to fit women better and allow them to work safely, productively and confidently. Flame-resistant shirts and pants, footwear, welding helmets, gloves and more will be on display in the booth along with other safety products and PPE.
• A wide selection of products from leading manufacturers — including RADNOR™ brand — that help support safety and productivity in the workplace will be available for hands-on review, including: welding safety supplies and PPE, plus welding consumables like wire, gas equipment, laser, MRO, grinders, abrasives, and more.

Matt Williams, Vice President Advanced Fabrication Markets – Business Development, commented: “We are excited to showcase a range of smart and user-friendly innovations that will help customers advance in their daily welding and fabrication processes. From cobotic welding and laser cutting to optimizing traditional welding, we are always looking to help our customers find ways to improve productivity, create efficiencies, work safely and create a better way to build the future.”
