It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 5th Annual Canadian Welding Association CanWeld Conference and First IIW Congress. “Welding in the Arctic” is our theme and will focus on products and services that are applicable to sub-zero work environments. Over the last number of decades, there has been a tremendous amount of technical research and industrial developments which address issues and challenges when working in such low temperatures. The welding industry is providing solutions to these new opportunities through creativity and innovation.

Topics will focus on several areas of interest to our industry including: Shipbuilding, Construction, Mining, Research, Pipelines, Education, NDE, Safety, and Energy. You will also have the opportunity to participate in an exciting tour of Seaspan Shipyards followed by a top-notch dinner cruise through the beautiful Vancouver Harbour.

One of the key goals for the Congress is that as a result, more countries in the region will work together on projects and find solutions to the identified challenges. It is also my hope that we will discover a host for next year’s Welding in the Arctic IIW Congress.

I thank you for your support and commitment to attending this year’s conference. Thank you also to our generous sponsors for their significant contribution to the success of this event.

DIRECTOR OF THE CWA

It is not every day that you have the pleasure of discovering a new region of the world! Yet, this is the feeling I have as we present this first International Institute of Welding

International (IIW) Congress being held in the beautiful and fascinating Arctic Region. The idea for this Congress was to combine the success of the annual Canadian Welding Association CanWeld event with that of the IIW. The unique geographic characteristics

of Arctic Canada led to the development of a congress that would address a specific challenge – welding in extreme conditions.

I am thrilled that so many experts world-wide have committed to being a part of this experience and to enthusiastically share their knowledge on a variety of related topics. It is fulfilling to know that as a result of this Congress, important information can then

be shared with other countries facing similar challenges. I believe this Congress will be a key reference and starting point for a new welders’ community inside the IIW, one that will work together to solve problems and challenges faced in our industry world-wide. I

encourage all those who perform welds in these fragile and extreme conditions to share their achievements for the benefit of all. I look forward to welcoming each and

every one and hope that you enjoy the Congress experience.

The International Institute of Welding (IIW) was founded in 1948 by the welding institutes/societies of 13 countries who considered it crucial to make more rapid

scientific and technical progress possible on a global level. Their vision was for the IIW to be the international vehicle by which innovation and best joining practices

could be promoted, while providing an international platform for the exchange and dissemination of evolving welding technologies and applications.

IIWINTERNATIONALCONGRESS

CEO OF IIW

The International Institute of Welding’s (IIW) Technical Working Units provide forums for open discussion of ideas which often lead to the development of the world’s best practices in design and structural integrity, joining processes and human-related factors. These Best Practice documents are in great demand by industries the world over, who view the IIW logo as a symbol of quality and of scientific and engineering excellence. Such documents also serve as key starting points for new international standards and research fields. As a socially-conscious and responsible player on the global scene, the IIW continues to do its utmost to ensure that official IIW-supported events, such as IIW International Congresses, serve as key platforms for developing cooperation on topics of regional interest and concern. This IIW International Congress in Vancouver places a bright spotlight on the Arctic, a region which has been experiencing rapid and conflicting developments. Global warming continues to affect the Arctic areas more dramatically than in any other part of the world. New transportation routes have been opened, energy and mineral resources are increasingly being exploited and tourism is on the rise. These factors make it essential to focus on actions which mitigate further climate change, while simultaneously paying increased attention to technologies and plans which lead to sustainable development of the region. The choice of such a novel, yet pertinent theme for this IIW International Congress, Welding in the Arctic, has demonstrated exceptional foresight on the part of the IIW’s Canadian Member. This pioneering effort has prompted the IIW to emphasize and promote the significance of this region and to consider a whole range of new activities. It is my heartfelt desire that the 2014 edition of the IIW International Congress in Vancouver, Canada, will be a tremendous success on a national level, but most especially, regionally. As an extremely highly-valued, respected and long-standing IIW Member Society, I truly and sincerely hope for the continued prosperity and activity of the Canadian Council of the IIW. Thank you for all of your efforts on behalf of the IIW’s global family.

Paper title: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF WELDING AUTOMATION IN HIGH-MIX LOW-VOLUME MANUFACTURING OPERATIONS

With consideration of growing global competition and persistent skilled labour demands, implementation of modern manufacturing technologies is essential to the competitiveness of manufacturing firms in Canada. Weldco Companies has progressively integrated advanced welding processes, automation, and robotic operations into our engineering designs and manufacturing operations over several decades. Weldco’s high-mix low-volume product lines can create challenges to achieving a timely return-on-investment for welding automation. Innovation and leadership, throughout the organization, are vital drivers to successful automation integration and further ensure Weldco’s long-term global competitiveness.

This paper provides an overview of the successes and lessons-learned during the integration of welding automation and robotics in high-mix low-volume heavy metal manufacturing. Successful implementation is built upon communication, mutual understanding of expectations and proactive coordination between manufacturing trades and engineering teams. Key challenges that must be explored include automation cell design limitations, robust implementation strategies, and understanding how shop culture must change. Additionally, considerations for improved training and coordination between industry and academia will also be discussed.

The Robert J. Jacobson Memorial Award was established to honour an individual “who has made an outstanding contribution to the CWA Chapter operations.” This annual award consists of a plaque and a $500 cash prize.

Harvey has been a member of the Edmonton CWA and forerunner Chapter for over 30 years, primarily overseeing Education. He has been a welding instructor at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) for 27 years and currently, while retired, maintains a consultancy involved in welder and welding inspector instruction.

Harvey began with the predecessor to the CWA Edmonton Chapter, the Welding Institute of Canada (WIC). He served on the WIC Edmonton Chapter overseeing the Education portfolio and assisted the chapter to plan dinner meetings, and seminars. He also acted as the WIC module exam supervisor, offering a quarterly exam writing schedule for candidates in the self-study program during the 1990’s. Aside from welding instruction, Harvey also served upon the Panel of Examiners with the the Association of Science and Engineering Technology Professionals of Alberta (ASET) reviewing applicants for Certified Engineering Technology status. The Edmonton chapter had a rather rocky history of growth and demise over the 1990’s and early 2000’s as WIC evolved to the Canadian Welding Society, and in time, into the present CWA. It was a small core of believers like Harvey who kept the Chapter alive in Edmonton in the belief that the Chapter had value and offered an important voice to the Edmonton welding industry. Without their perseverance, the Edmonton Chapter would not be the present viable entity.

In 1986, the Lincoln Electric Company of Canada Limited established a trust fund for the purpose of funding the Michael N. Vuchnich Award, ($2,500 and a plaque) to be administered by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Welding Institute of Canada and now its successor organization, the Canadian Welding Association. The Michael N. Vuchnich Award is presented annually to an individual who, in the opinion of the CWA Awards Committee, has “done the most to advance the science, technology and application of arc welding in Canada in their career.”

Gerry has demonstrated a passion for the advancement of welding in Canada, primarily through instruction of others. Gerry began his welding career in 1967 in Quebec as a welder and welding technician. He

worked throughout Ontario in the early 1970’s and moved to Alberta in 1973. He worked at the Syncrude facility, and it was there he became an unofficial teacher. He worked with less experienced welders on the various processes and welding techniques specified at the worksite.

Gerry also taught part-time at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) in 1978 on GTAW welding. By 1983, Gerry formed GRB Enterprises Ltd, which grew from the initial pipe stand and tent fabricator to encompass welder training and qualification, welding procedure development and Alberta’s only licensed private school for welding: GRB College of Welding. The school offers a Pre-Employment program training students to meet the Alberta Welding First Period standard. Students successfully completing the program are eligible to be registered as First Year welding apprentices. The school also offers Journeyman upgrades, Alberta “B” Pressure training, and other practical courses on GTAW, GMAW, and FCAW training for ASME and CSA Code applications.

Gerry is keen on ergonomic factors. He observes welders on how they position and brace themselves, and offers firm no-nonsense advice on simple corrections. All the push for greater technology in welding productivity becomes at odds when in the hands of a poorly positioned welder. Gerry also shares more work experiences not consistently taught, such as the proper use of angle grinders and grinding techniques. Thousands of welders have been personally trained by Gerry, and many credit Gerry for their first big break into the welding industry.

Gerry represents the advancement of “application” of welding. The work of the past Vuchnich recipients relies on trained welders for successful and consistent results.

The 2014 Productivity Award is presented to a company that has made an investment and aconscious effort to increase efficiencies and productivity of its operations. The investment may be in automation, process or procedure improvement. The nominations must be supported by documentation. The selection of the recipient is made by the CWA Awards Committee. The award consists of a CWA medal, plaque and a $5,000 cash prize.

Roll Form Group introduced the Samson strong floor section in 2008 and has since evolved. The Samson strong floor sections were originally introduced at 0.120”, 0.135” & 0.150”. Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) was the selected welding process, (efficient, simple and safe).

Due to the tremendous success of this profile, lighter gauges were desired and 14ga section was introduced. Increased orders required increased efficiencies.

The problems with SAW process are excess burn through on lighter gauges which causes excess scrap, material handling, storage and labor. In addition the process was spread over 3 different machines (roll forming mill, SAW welding station and saw back cutting).

RFG invested over $200,000 to convert Mill #16 to a welding ready Mill (in-line welding), which meant designing and installing a fully automated GMAW welding system complete with fume extraction unit, that had to fit between Mill 16 tooling. Extra tooling also had to be designed and installed to close the joint gap at the welding guns. Extensive effort, talent and hard work were required to coordinate and synchronize the different components of Mill 16 in order for them to “talk to each other”. A one button operation was created.

The results achieved by implementing this system are as follows:• Productivity - increased by 56%• Speed - 1500 > 685 machine hours• Better yield - Scrap down as much as 15%• Lower cost - $755 /hr. > $345 /hr.• Spreading - Applied the same technology to Mill #6 new sill manufacturing process, another success.
