SAF (Société d’Applications du Soudage), part of Air Liquide Welding, is a renowned European brand. With deep expertise in submerged arc welding (SAW) systems and heavy-duty arc welding technology. SAF machines have many favourable qualities, like their robust construction. As well as precision control, and reliable long-run performance. They're utilised in structural steel, shipbuilding, tank fabrication, and pressure vessel production.
- Specialists in Submerged Arc Welding. SAF’s sub arc systems are engineered for high-deposition, high-integrity welding on thick materials. Ideal for automated welding of beams, vessels, tanks, and pipelines. Where strength and consistency are critical.
- High-Duty Cycle Industrial Machines. Built to operate in multi-shift production environments, SAF machines deliver stable arc control. As well as deep penetration, and efficient wire feed — even on long weld runs and demanding weld joints.
- Modular and Automation-Ready. SAF SAW power sources and heads easily integrate with welding tractors, column & booms, and seam welders. Allowing full automation for improved speed, accuracy, and reduced operator fatigue.
- European Engineering, Built to Last. With heavy-duty construction and reliable components, SAF systems are known for their durability. Combined with easy maintenance, and strong support across Europe and beyond.
- Ideal for Large-Scale Fabrication. SAF’s sub arc and multi-process equipment is trusted in a range of demanding industries. Such as oil & gas, shipbuilding, heavy steel fabrication, and wind energy. Excelling where consistent weld quality and high output are non-negotiable.
