Looks like you will have had a good time Matt, hope lots of business comes your way!! Did you do those good looking welds on site while you were there?

 

[F.J.]

Are there ever any shows like this in the UK? I can never seem to find any info about them

 

[matt1978]

Hi Gordon,

I am still here, come home on Thursday.

I am only here in a support role to do the demo welding, I am not responsible for the Middle East region so any business won't directly effect me.

It's been great experience so far though, some unbelievable sights............mainly women haha

Not many FJ. There used to be a 2 yearly exhibition called Weldex held at the NEC. For a long time time it was really great and well attended by exhibitors and visitors alike, but then like most things in the UK it became too expensive so manufacturers decided it wasn't worth the costs, they dwindled and then so did the visitors.

Recently (last 4 yrs) they have tried to revive it and tag it on to another event called MACH. However it's still quite cost prohibitive so based on the last 2 events it still does not represent value for money. The next one is planned for 2014, so maybe it might be better.

There is the worlds biggest oil and gas related exhibition in Aberdeen later this year, but not sure how many welding companies will be exhibiting there

Looks good Matt. Who is you main market at these sort of things..big fabricators..welding supply companies..?

Your welds are not as neat as mine, i think i need to go out there to show you how to do it, all expenses paid of course.

Are there many Lorch salesmen/demonstrators that can actually weld with them like you can? Your Dad's a welder by trade isnt he?

Enjoy your holiday

Looks a good show, first thing I thought of was how much power the exhibition hall would have to supply for a welding show, comes of being a sparky

Some really nice kit there, Matt. Job I knocked back in Saudi apparently offer their best student visits to such events to inspire them, I certainly see why!!

Lovely welds would be hard pushed to tell it wasn't tig

 

[matt1978]

Thanks MK.

Never ever be quite as good as Tig but near enough for some applications. And so much faster.

 

[Welderpaul]

Cheers Matt, nice. Can frequency, current change and current relationship be altered in twinpulse mode?

 

[matt1978]

Yes mate, go into he background menu, select the parameter you want to change and the use the + - Buttons to adjust, the Freq for example has a range of 0.5 Hz to 5 Hz
