THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE UNIQUE MIG PROCESS TRAINING RESOURCES?

  • A LACK OF PROCESS EXPERTISE. Too frequently welders and supervisors use skills to compensate for their lake of "MIG weld process expertise". Playing around with welding controls will results in unacceptable welding inconsistencies for both weld quality and productivity.

  • IS0 STANDARDS & PRODUCT LIABILITY. ISO standards require in-house process training. Product liability consequences demands it. Why not provide your workers with training resources that actually provide quality / productivity results.

  • WELDER SHORTAGE. A universal shortage of skilled MIG welders requires that manufacturing companies have to place more emphasis and resources on providing effective in-house MIG welder training.

  • SHORTER WELD PROCESS TRAINING TIME. This resource dramatically reduces the training time required for weld personnel to OPTIMIZE the MIG process.

  • ROBOT PROCESS CONTROL REQUIREMENTS. For the last five years, the growth of MIG welding robots has averaged over 20 % annually. Few robot operators or programmers are aware, or have been trained in the unique, robot MIG weld process requirements. These training resources provides all the process control training necessary to attain optimum robot weld productivity and quality with minimum robot downtime.

  • UNDERSTAND SPRAY - SHORT CIRCUIT - PULSED. The most popular MIG power sources sold today are pulsed. Few supervisors or operators of pulsed equipment are aware of the fundamental differences found between the key modes of weld metal transfer.
    [a] When they should or should not use the more expensive, less durable pulsed process.
    [b] How to fully control optimize pulsed welding parameters.
    [c] How to optimize short circuit / spray.
    [d] The requirements for optimum weld quality on applications > 6 mm.
    [e] The requirements to minimizeweld burnthrough potential on thin gage applications.
    [f] The requirements for high speed welds.
    [g] The requirements to eliminate robot down time due to contact tip issues, wire burn backs, weld start - stop issues and much more.

    ELIMINATE SALES HYPE. In an industry that attains too much of its welding data from sales sources, there exists too many weld process myths and too much weld product sales bias. This course is without product bias, it simply deals with welding reality.

  • ALL WELD. ENGINEERING PERSONNEL. This valuable self teaching or classroom resource is designed or anyone who wants to manage and control the gas metal arc-welding process. Engineers, designers, welders, operators, trainers, supervisors, managers, quality control personnel and all robot personnel.

    Ed Craig the author is senior welding application engineer with thirty-five years MIG process and application expertise. In 2004, Ed developed the robot process control training program for Magna robot personnel, with over 200 plants and 15 billion dollars in annual sales, Magna is one of the worlds largest auto / truck part suppliers. Ed has provided MIG process training and application expertise to approximately 10,000 welders at 1000 manufacturing companies in 10 different countries. This is Ed's third MIG process control book. For 18 years Ed has written a monthly welding Q&A column in Welding Design and Fabrication Magazine, he also rewrote the welding section in the 25 edition of the Machinery Handbook and assisted in writing the AWS MIG gas specifications.

    The MIG process control training book and video are unique resources in that they combine to simplify a complex process and then provide all the process controls necessary for manual / robot optimum welds on all carbon steel and stainless applications.
