Pro-Tech Manufacturing Tour

Welding

We have (4) independent welding stations that preformed continuous welding of the workstation seams. Welding fixtures are utilized for common designs to increase throughput, reduce costs and improve quality. Automating spot-welding machines are used for some operations. Plans for robotic welding arms are in place for 2003.

All operations are controlled by computer.

Small items can be spot welded with a blowtorch and larger ones are welded with a machine that allows the operator to guide the product with both hands.

The metal is cut with tabs so that it fits together like a puzzle. This insures that nothing slips when it is being welded.
