The Pride of the Pipeline

By changing welding processes, this oil and gas production equipment manufacturer cut more than 200 man-hours out of each product to thrive during the shale gas boom.

Field of Dreams

Take a look at how this Wisconsin fabricator uses the portable all-in-one Multimatic 200 multiprocess power source from Miller Electric to gain versatility and increase their welding productivity by 25 to 30 percent on field repair and fabrication jobs.

MOTOMAN INTERFACE FOR LINCOLN ELECTRIC POWER WAVE POWER SOURCES

Users can now program weld parameters as work point/trim or amps/volts, along with up to four “Wave Controls” with allowable limits displayed from the process library in the Lincoln power source. Users can also program Lincoln’s Production Monitoring™ process limits and define alarm and fault conditions from the robot’s touch screen pendant display.

Field of Dreams

Take a look at how Wisconsin fabricator High Tech Welding uses a portable all-in-one multiprocess power source to gain versatility and increase their welding productivity by 25 to 30 percent on field repair and fabrication jobs.

Power Sources

A welding power supply provides an electric current for welding. A constant current (CC) machine varies output voltage to maintain a steady current, while a constant voltage (CV) machine fluctuates output current to maintain a set voltage. Shielded metal arc…

Estimating Total Welding Costs

Keeping your welding costs low goes far beyond buying the lowest priced wire available. You must analyze how welding processes that increase deposition rate and increase productivity will reduce the largest component of welding costs – your labor and overhead. Here’s how to do it.
