Goff’s Welding Curtain Walls

Goff's welding curtain walls slide in and out of use easily to form a UV protected area. Goff's curtains are spark resistant. Goff's Weld curtains can help with the containment of welding fumes keeping them confined to that area until proper exhaust can occur. Curtain walls can act as a shield from harmful flying debris.

Welding Webcast Series

Join Us May 14,2008 for Balluff's Webcast:

Dramatically Increase Weld Cell Productivity.

Protect sensors and connectivity from heat, slag and impact! If your organization is spending a great deal of time on sensor and related connectivity change out in welding cells, there’s something definitely wrong. It doesn’t have to be that way! Unfortunately, hundreds of companies have accepted that sensing in welding environments automatically equates to high rates of machine down time, high maintenance costs, and high material costs. There are reasons how and why it’s gotten to that point and we will examine those in this webinar.
