Efficiency Redefined: nexAir’s Hercules Welding System and the Future of Fabrication

The welding industry is evolving rapidly, thanks to new technologies that are redefining efficiency. nexAir is at the forefront with their revolutionary Hercules Welding System. This innovative MIG setup is set to transform welding and fabrication through several key enhancements.

Hercules Contact Tip Copper .052

One critical component is nexAir’s Hercules Contact Tip Copper .052. This removable nozzle attaches to the end of the MIG torch and delivers the wire electrode to the weld. The Hercules contact tip incorporates advanced sensors to monitor arc voltage and amperage in real time. It makes constant precision adjustments to maintain the optimal arc length and temperature. 

This automated contact tip eliminates the need for welders to stop welding and manually check gauges to adjust settings. The contact tip self-regulates the voltage and wire feed speed, optimizing the arc parameters. Thus, welders can focus entirely on technique rather than monitoring equipment. This results in higher quality, more consistent welds with less rework.

The automated contact tip improves MIG welding efficiency by over 30% compared to traditional setups. The sensors and programming built into the contact tip deliver unmatched arc performance. This removes human error and variation from the welding process.

Hercules’ specialized gas shielded metal core wire

This is a metal-cored wire with fewer silicon islands than other metal-cored wires. When used on clean material, weld bead toe lines are almost completely free of silicon deposits. Thus, the weld bead face is virtually free from silicon island deposits. Together with exceptional low spatter rates, this will save time and money spent cleaning prior to painting, coating, or plating. The recommended shielding gas is a mixture of argon and carbon dioxide, with a minimum of 75% argon and a maximum of 95% argon. Arc characteristics improve with richer argon gases while spatter and fume levels decrease.

The Hercules metal-cored wire provides excellent gap bridging with minimal burn through. It assists in creating smooth, uniform weld beads faster than solid wire. It is ideal for robotic and automatic welding, increasing productivity and deposition rates. It excels on heavy equipment, transportation, mining, and agriculture applications. The metal-cored wire welds quickly on non-alloyed and fine grain steels. Its exceptional arc characteristics, wetting, and fusion properties make Hercules metal-cored wire the premier choice for automated, high-speed welding.

Forging forward with Hercules Welding Products

For fabrication shops, Hercules welding products mean higher productivity and lower labor costs. Welders can complete more welds per day thanks to the time savings from the automated contact tip. There is no need to stop welding to manually check gauges and adjust parameters. The Hercules delivers optimal, consistent welds much faster.

nexAir even offers specialized training programs to get welders up to speed quickly on the Hercules system. This allows fabricators to boost productivity right away and improve profit margins. 

Looking ahead, Hercules products were designed to be compatible with fabrication automation. The responsive contact tip and steady wire feed integrate seamlessly with automated welding rigs and robotic welding cells. This allows fabricators to implement lights-out manufacturing and 24/7 production.

The Hercules represents the future of welding technology. Automated contact tips and optimized wire will soon be the norm, rather than the exception. nexAir has gained a competitive edge by embracing this innovation. Our Hercules Welding System promises to revolutionize fabrication through enhanced efficiency, quality and consistency. The future of welding has arrived!
