The world's largest website on MIG - Flux Cored - TIG Welding


Advanced TIP TIG Welding
TIP TIG Welding is always better quality than TIG and 100 to 500% faster with superior quality than TIG - MIG - FCAW.

When an individual has the ability to consistently control the weld quality on a blind, stupid robot or with any automated weld equipment, that person should with a few skills control any weld..


In the 1990s, during his position as the Corporate Weld Manager for the ABB Robot Div in the USA, Ed established the first global training programs on Robot MIG Weld Best Practices and Process Controls.

The value of data
to a weld professional.

Remember, if you have to ask for the weld data and you play around with any weld controls, how can you call yourself a weld professional?


 

GTAW - TIG welding


For those interested in the highest weld quality at the lowest costs, for the majority of weld applications the regular TIG process should have been made redundant by a process called TiP TiG.

Bad welds or is it bad weld management?
















As the robot and manual MIG - Resistance welds are typically out of control in many auto - truck plants, this global industy has to have it's own bad weld section.
Note I had to stop the bad weld input after two years because the bad welds seem to be endless.

TIP TIG Welding

TIP TIG is the world's best weld process for all code quality and alloy welds. Ed and Tom OMalley bought this process to North and South America and Australia. Extensive info at www.tiptigusa.com
