Flux can be essential in welding. In processes like submerged arc welding (SAW), shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW), it ensures clean, strong welds by shielding the weld pool from contamination. However, managing flux comes with...

When considering the purchase of a robotic welding system, the decision often boils down to price. While it might be tempting to opt for an in-the-box robotic welding system from a catalog, there are compelling reasons to invest in a solution from a specialized...

Safety when welding is of utmost importance. Not only does it protect the welder from harmful UV light and sparks, but it also ensures others in the vicinity do not come into contact with harmful elements like UV light, sparks or debris that can pose dangerous...

One of the most frustrating results of any job can be when costs exceed estimates without obvious explanation. This often stems from failing to properly account for all cost factors—direct and indirect. Unanticipated welding operations often create unexpected...

As industry-leading builders of automated welding equipment, we understand the significant role each component plays in successful welding operations. Tungsten electrodes are important as final conductors to ignite a weld—therefore, proper selection and maintenance...
