03/03/2009 - Minister Peter Batchelor tips MIGfast for success
The successful commercialisation of the new MIGfast MIG welding tip has been launched by The Hon, Peter Batchelor, MP, Minister for Energy and Resources to an audience of automotive industry and metal fabrication businesses.
The MIGfast welding tip is an advanced design tip for use in MIG welding robots utilised extensively in the automotive, whitegoods and metal fabrication industries.
"These tips can weld 50% faster and last twice as long as current tips, use 30 per cent less energy and generate about 25 per cent less carbon dioxide. They also use less welding material for the weld, saving hundreds of meters of wire per robot per day," Mr Batchelor said.
"The MIGfast tip is only 3cm long but packs a powerful commercial and environmental punch" said Jan Dekker, Principal at Cleantech Ventures which manages the CEGT Fund.
