Machine category 08

Welding & cutting

MIG, TIG and plasma — the joint is where the part either holds or fails, and the machine decides which.

Welding is the step most often blamed for a failure and least often invested in. A stable arc and a machine matched to the material do more for weld quality than any amount of grinding afterwards.

Sakkary supplies the equipment, the consumables that keep it running, and training for the operators who will decide the result.

What it is for

Structural steel fabrication and frames
Stainless food and pharmaceutical equipment
Aluminium bodywork and fabrication
Pipe and vessel welding
Profile cutting where a laser is not warranted

How to choose

01

MIG for speed, TIG for control

MIG lays metal fast and suits structural work and production. TIG gives control and a clean bead, and is what stainless and aluminium need when the joint is visible or has to pass inspection.

02

Duty cycle is the specification that bites

A machine rated for short bursts will drop out mid-seam in production use. Match the duty cycle to how your shop actually works, not to the peak amperage on the label.

03

Plasma against the alternatives

Plasma cuts thick plate quickly and cheaply. Where the edge feeds straight into welding or paint, a fiber laser removes the dressing step — worth comparing before assuming plasma is cheaper overall.

04

Consumables decide running cost

Tips, nozzles, wire and gas are the ongoing spend. Buying equipment whose consumables are stocked locally is worth more than a small saving on the machine.

Questions we are asked

Do you supply welding consumables?

Yes — wire, tips, nozzles and gas equipment are stocked alongside the machines, which is the point of buying both from one supplier.
