It's that time of year again- the 2024 Manufacturers' Expo is coming! Join us on November 7th, 2024 at the York Expo Center- see the latest and greatest in manufacturing tech from all the exhibitors, with equipment demos and breakout sessions, plus plenty of time to make supplier connections, and do some networking!

We’re bringing along two cutting-edge technologies that both take first place for our current welding tech favorites- Theo from MaxPhotonics & the MOD-WELD by ATP! Theo is a laser welding system that's both affordable and easy to use- swing by to see just how quick it is to set up and program. The MOD-WELD is a welding cobot that has the ability to run off either Miller or Fronius power sources, giving you options- come see the robotic arm in action and check out the user friendly program mode firsthand.

Stop by for the equipment and sick around to chat with us about how we can help you elevate your welding operations! Can't wait to see you there!

This past weekend, Earlbeck Gases & Technologies had the honor of sponsoring the second annual Crusher Run, an event that brought together folks from all walks of life to Martin Marietta's Texas Quarry for two great causes! The participants and volunteers made this event a resounding success, raising $30,000 for two incredible charities: Construction Angels, Inc. and the Baltimore Hunger Project.

Construction Angels provides crucial support to families of construction employees who have tragically lost their lives on the job, offering financial and other assistance during their most challenging times. While the Baltimore Hunger Project is dedicated to combating childhood hunger by providing food packages to food-insecure children and fostering awareness through community partnerships.

Baltimore has been our company's home for over a century so we feel deeply invested in supporting our community and are proud to contribute to such meaningful causes. Events like the Crusher Run demonstrate the power of community and industry coming together to make a real difference. We extend our gratitude to all the organizers, participants, volunteers, and fellow sponsors who made this event possible and look forward to participating in opportunities like this in the future!

One of our favorite things about Fronius is that they are always striving for advancements in welding technology that benefit the end user. Whether it be the ability to fine tune settings for experienced welders or give a helping hand to novice ones, they are always optimizing based on user feedback. 

The DynamicWire is a great example of this and represents a significant leap in TIG cold wire welding technology! This system intelligently adjusts the wire speed of the filler metal automatically to match the welding conditions, enhancing quality and efficiency with every weld. The  DynamicWire's capacity to adapt to varying conditions means that it not only improves weld quality but also makes the welding process more forgiving for those less familiar with the nuances of TIG welding.

Integrating DynamicWire into existing setups is designed to be straightforward. Existing Fronius iWave system users can activate the DynamicWire functionality with a simple software update, avoiding the need for extensive new equipment. This ease of upgrade is not to be understated- you don't need to buy all new equipment to be able to get the benefits of this new tech. Easy upgrade transitions like this ensure that your businesses can stay up-to-date with the latest in welding technology without significant downtime or investment!

This hands-on attempt underscores a powerful message: with practice and determination, anyone can spark a career in welding. We find that individuals with a strong work ethic, who are visual learners, and seek a career outside the confines of a traditional office, make great candidates for a rewarding and fulfilling career in welding! It’s a profession for those who desire to build and create, to see tangible results from their efforts, and to take pride in their workmanship.

We thank Fox43 News for the unique opportunity to spotlight the coming critical need for welders in south-central PA and across the country. We are passionate about educating the next generation of welders, offering them the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to pursue a career in this essential and rewarding field.

Last week we had the pleasure of welcoming experts from APT Manufacturing Solutions to our Baltimore location for an insightful two-day event filled with tons of hands-on cobot testing. Technology Day was a real showcase of innovation and practical learning!
