    ESAB's RobustFeed Wins Red Dot Award for Product Design

    Annapolis Junction, Md. – ESAB Welding & Cutting Products announced that its RobustFeed wire feeder has received the highly coveted Red Dot Award: Product Design 2021. The RobustFeed was designed for portability, durability, and productivity and is the only portable feeder with an IP44 protection class rating, which means it is protected against water splashes from all directions. A completely-sealed wire feed compartment protects the wire from dust, an optional heater drives off moisture to preserve wire integrity and its double-wall design has special zones to provide impact and abrasion resistance. The controls, power and gas cable connections are protected inside the housing, and a reliable strain relief removes cable stress. This is the second Red Dot award ESAB has won for product design. The brand won in 2018 for the Renegade TIG power source.

    “We are proud that our RobustFeed earned the prestigious Red Dot Award, a tremendous honor in our longstanding history of leading product innovation in welding and cutting equipment and consumables for over a century,” said Olivier Biebuyck, President, EMEAR, Equipment and Digital Solutions. “A special thanks to Red Dot’s expert jury for recognizing our continuous pursuit to meet the needs of the customers we serve all over the world.”

    For more than 50 years, the “Red Dot” award has established itself internationally as one of the most sought-after seals of quality for good design. For this year’s competition, designers and manufacturers submitted more than 18,000 objects to the competition and a jury comprising roughly 50 members assessed the products. The strict judging criteria, which include the level of innovation, functionality, formal quality, ergonomics, and durability, provide a frame of reference which the jurors then complement with their own expertise.

    “I believe RobustFeed won this esteemed award because customer insights and real-life scenarios shaped its form and functions,” said Jarkko Havia, ESAB’s Global Industrial Design Manager. “We never intended to compete with existing feeders — we wanted to redefine the category, and RobustFeed achieves that goal.”

    More Key Elements to RobustFeed’s Award-winning Design

    ESAB designed RobustFeed for improved ergonomics when carrying. When carried by the middle handle, it rests comfortably against the side of the operator’s body when walking longer distances. Closer to the point of welding, additional front and rear handle make it easy to carry up a ladder, maneuver through confined spaces or pass the unit from one person to another.

    For greater mobility, the wire feeder has an optional wheel kit that mounts on either the bottom or side of the feeder. It also features ESAB’s new PreciDrive wire drive system that combines high precision, power, and reliability to feed solid wires up to 5/64-in. and cored wires up to 3/32-in. RobustFeed automatically connects to ESAB’s Warrior and Aristo inverter-based power sources, and a connection kit enables using the unit with competitive inverters. Users include those in the ship, boat, trailer, construction, steel fabrication, pressure vessel, tank, pipe, wind tower, off-highway machinery, maintenance, and repair industries. Equipped with an optional push-pull torch, it also works well for welding aluminum. For more information visit the RobustFeed product page.
