MIG Welding Permits High Speed Production of Quality Parts at Ohio Laser
|
Plain City, Ohio, July 7, 2008 -- MIG stands for “metal inert gas.” The MIG welding process was first developed during World War Two to increase the productivity of manufacturing
lines making weapons and equipment for the war effort.
With automated MIG welding, a robotic welding arm controls the motion and placement of a contact tip holding a MIG “gun.”
This gun is fed a spool of solid-steel wire through a liner.
When activated, the contact tip on the gun is electrically charged, melts the wire and forms a weld puddle. At the same time,
inert gas flows out of the gun and keeps the weld puddle shielded from the atmosphere, allowing a weld to join two metal surfaces.
Companies are using advanced welding cells designed for
high speed, long production runs of high quality welded parts. This modern mig welding technology offers numerous advantages to companies in need of affordable precision welding.
Mig welding
cells such as the Lincoln Electric System10 at Ohio Laser feature:
- Fanuc ARC Mate 100 iB/6s robot with a 37" reach for precision welding in smaller spaces
- Dual fixed welding work station with automatic interlocked access doors permit simultaneous part loading and unloading while welding
- Complete metal surround flash barrier and bi-fold doors with interlocks
- 450 amp, 100% duty cycle STT welding technology power supply
- Minimal smoke, distortion, and splatter
- Specialized engineering, tooling and programming capabilities to enable cost effective welding
