Presentation Title Leveraging Advanced Processes to Benefit Welders of All Skill Levels
Author(s) Zach MacMullen, Jason Blubaugh
On-Site Speaker (Planned) Zach MacMullen
Abstract Scope The latest welding technology gives operations the ability to simplify welding processes for welders of all skill levels. Today’s machines make it easier to create high-quality welds more quickly thanks to advanced processes like Versa-Pulse™, Accu-PulseŽ, High-Deposition (HD) MIG and Regulated Metal Deposition (RMDŽ). These processes also help to increase confidence and job satisfaction, especially among welders newer to the workforce. This presentation will share how one fabrication shop has been able to leverage advanced processes to generate a 30% gain in throughput savings amid hiring challenges, reduce setup time from half a day to 15 minutes on some jobs, and more. Plus, we’ll share details about the other ways advanced processes can be used to benefit welders, welding operations and the bottom line.
