In cooperation with Valk Welding, Börger has integrated a new automation solution into production. The new welding robot significantly optimises manufacturing and production processes.
Börger GmbH is a company with more than 380 employees worldwide, and more than 40 years of experience in mechanical engineering. At its headquarters in Borken-Weseke Germany, Börger develops, manufactures and sells pumps, shredding technology, separation technology, stainless steel containers and much more. A key component of the company is the patented rotary lobe pump, which is used for pumping low to highly viscous and abrasive substances.
In cooperation with Valk Welding, Börger has integrated a new automation solution into production. The new welding robot significantly optimises manufacturing and production processes.
“By using welding robots, we can better meet the increasing demands for quality and flexibility and expand our capacities in the existing environment”
With the use of a new welding robot and an innovative extraction torch, The VWPR Fume Extraction Atmoflow, Börger pursues the goal of increasing the quality of welds, optimising work processes and making the workplace safer and more attractive. The robot delivers precise and consistent welding performance, which increases efficiency in series production and reduces the error rate. The robot provides valuable support, especially in the production of conveyor screws, an important product for Börger.
‘By using welding robots, we can better meet the increasing demands for quality and flexibility and expand our capacities in the existing environment,’ explains Jens Nünning, head of metal construction at Börger. ‘The extraction torch from Valk Welding also enables us to make the welding process not only more efficient, but also more environmentally friendly.’ The integrated extraction torch is specially designed for capturing and extracting welding fumes. The torch helps improve air quality in the workplace and reduces exposure of the production environment to harmful particles.
In addition, the welding consumables supplied by Valk Welding are optimally tailored to the specific requirements of Börger GmbH. They not only guarantee outstanding welding quality, but also a high level of process reliability. Thanks to the close cooperation in the selection and customisation of the welding consumables, Börger was able to further increase the efficiency of its production processes.
In addition to the welding robot, Valk Welding also provides user-friendly control software that enables Börger GmbH’s employees to operate the robot quickly and efficiently, reducing the changeover time to a minimum.
The successful implementation of the welding robot and the use of the welding consumables mark the beginning of a long-term cooperation between Börger GmbH and Valk Welding.
‘We see Valk Welding as a reliable partner who understands our requirements and supports us in the further development of our production processes, and the project was completed exactly according to plan,’ Jens Nünning emphasises in conclusion.
The investment in modern welding technology and high-quality welding consumables underlines Börger GmbH’s commitment to the highest production quality. The automation solution from Valk Welding is a further step into the future for the Borken-Weseke-based company.
Engmar and Valk Welding have combined their expertise to offer a solution that not only protects the health of welders, but also improves the efficiency of the welding process. The VWPR Fume Extraction Atmoflow, extracts and filters welding fumes directly at the source, minimising exposure to harmful particles. The system is efficient, filters up to 98% of harmful particles and requires less shielding gas, saving costs.
The system has a reusable filter and a bag-in/bag-out system, meaning operators do not have to touch the harmful particles during maintenance. This contributes to a safer working environment and reduces the risk of exposure to hazardous particles. Retrofit on the MIGII torch is possible.
We like to think along with you in finding solutions for your (welding) automation, welding wires and welding accessories. We are looking for the connection and prefer to be a partner rather than a supplier.
