Our company's sales team participated in the 28th Beijing Essen Welding & Cutting Fair

June 18-20, 2025, Shanghai, 28th Beijing・The Essen Welding & Cutting Exhibition is in full swing. This welding industry event brings together top companies, cutting-edge technologies and innovative products from all over the world. Our sales team actively participates in it with a desire for the latest industry trends and a spirit of exploration of professional technology, focusing on the application and development trends of welding equipment, welding robots, laser welding and welding materials in the shipbuilding industry and offshore platforms.

Insight into the new trend of welding equipment

At the exhibition site, a wide variety of welding equipment is dazzling. From traditional arc welding equipment to advanced TIG, MIG/MAG welding machines, each equipment demonstrates its unique performance advantages and technological innovations. Sales team members shuttled between booths, carefully observed the demonstration operation of the equipment, and had in-depth exchanges with exhibitors to understand its actual application cases in the welding of ship structures and the connection of key components of offshore platforms. The outstanding performance of the new welding equipment in improving welding efficiency, reducing welding deformation, and improving weld quality provides us with a new perspective when choosing more suitable equipment for ship and offshore customers, which helps to further optimize customers' production processes and improve the overall manufacturing level.

Explore the intelligent application of welding robots

With the advancement of intelligent manufacturing, welding robots have become the focus of the industry. At the exhibition, many welding robot manufacturers demonstrated their advanced robot welding systems, including six-axis articulated robots, collaborative robots, etc., equipped with precise welding guns, flexible positioners and intelligent control systems, to achieve accurate tracking of complex welding paths and efficient welding operations. The sales team focused on the application potential of these robots in ship segment welding and modular construction of offshore platforms. Through communication with technical personnel, we learned that welding robots can not only stabilize welding quality and reduce manual intervention, but also cope with harsh working environments. This is of great significance to improving the automation and intelligence of ship and offshore platform construction. We have also keenly captured the important opportunity to promote it to relevant customer groups and help them achieve industrial upgrading.

Focus on laser welding technology breakthrough

The laser welding area is undoubtedly one of the highlights of this exhibition. It has attracted a lot of attention with its high energy density, high speed and high quality welding characteristics. In the shipbuilding industry, laser welding can be used for the connection of thin plate structures and high-strength alloy materials of the hull. It can effectively increase the welding speed, reduce heat input, reduce material deformation, and ensure the performance of the weld. Laser welding also shows unique advantages for the welding of pipes and structural parts of offshore platforms. The sales team has an in-depth understanding of the power range, spot size adjustment, automation integration and other technical details of the laser welding equipment, and analyzes its applicability under different materials, thicknesses, and structural forms, so as to accurately recommend laser welding solutions for ship and offshore customers with high-precision and high-efficiency welding needs, and promote the industry's welding technology to develop in a more efficient and high-quality direction.

In-depth study of the adaptation trend of welding materials in the field of shipbuilding and offshore engineering

As a key consumable in the welding process, the performance of welding materials directly affects the quality and service life of welded joints. At the exhibition, many welding material manufacturers displayed new welding materials developed for special working conditions of ships and offshore platforms, including corrosion-resistant welding materials, high-strength welding materials, low-temperature toughness welding materials, etc. The sales team and welding material experts discussed in depth the chemical composition, mechanical properties, welding process performance and matching with the parent material of welding materials. With the shipbuilding industry's pursuit of large-scale, deep-sea and extreme environment resistance, and the extremely high requirements of offshore platforms for safety and reliability, the development and application trend of suitable welding materials has become increasingly obvious. Through this survey, we can provide customers with more targeted and higher-quality welding material selection suggestions, ensure welding quality from the source, and escort the safe operation of ships and offshore platforms.

This time, our sales team visited the 28th Beijing・The Essen Welding and Cutting Exhibition was a great success. Through exchanges and interactions with many leading companies in the industry, we have a clearer and deeper understanding of the application status and development trends of welding equipment, welding robots, laser welding and welding materials in the field of ships and offshore platforms. In the future, we will make full use of this valuable information, combine it with the actual needs of customers, actively promote advanced welding technology and products, help the ship and offshore platform industry improve welding technology, optimize production and manufacturing processes, enhance market competitiveness, and contribute our strength to promoting high-quality development of the industry.

At the same time, we also look forward to cooperating and communicating with more colleagues in the industry to jointly explore new blue oceans for the application of welding technology in the field of shipbuilding and offshore engineering and write a new chapter in the development of the industry.
