How to Determine if Tactile Seam Tracking is Right for You Since the 1960’s, seam tracking systems have been used in many types of welding applications from GMAW, FCAW and SAW. This technology has advanced greatly in the past few decades to align with modern...
Aluminum has gained popularity over the years for manufacturing parts both large and small. It’s lightweight, strong, highly corrosion resistant, has good electrical and thermal conductivity and is reflective to both heat and light. While aluminum is a common material...
Finding the Right Tool for the Job – Welding Automation Types   On the fence about whether welding automation can actually work—AND be profitable—for your business and project applications? We realize how imperative it is to get answers upfront to all your automation...
In automated welding, torches are often overlooked, and are a hugely important part of a system. There are more variables than you’d think. One of the most important is the type of cooling. Water-cooled torches are widely used in high-amperage applications for their...
The metal fabrication industry is experiencing an unprecedented transformation as more manufacturers turn to automation as a solution to persistent challenges and ensure their future. Labor shortages, fluctuating customer demands, and need for consistent high-quality...
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...
