Advanced Mig Welding Technology Offered By Ohio Laser

By:


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.

In the case of the System10 MIG welding cell, an automated robotic welding arm moves a "gun" fixed on a contact tip into place to make welds. At the end of the contact tip a solid-steel wire is fed through a liner.

When the MIG welding cell is turned on, electricity charges the contact tip on the gun, melts the wire, producing a weld puddle. Inert gas simultaneously pours out of the tip of the gun, shielding the weld puddle from air in the atmosphere, permitting the weld to fix two metal pieces together.

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 to accommodate precision welding in tight 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

Lower splatter, distortion, and smoke compared to other systems

Specialized engineering, tooling and programming capabilities to enable cost effective welding

Automated arc welding is one of many advanced industrial fabrication services offered by Ohio Laser. Ohio Laser is a leading laser cutter of flat sheets, tubes and pipes, is proficient with PPAP Level I to Level IV, provides high accuracy bending, engineers parts using 2D, 3D CAD/CAM software, and offers welding processes GMAW, FCAW, and GTAW.

In addition the company does heat treating and finishing, water jet cutting, sanding and grinding services, assembly and packaging, and machining of various alloys.

Ohio Laser serves many manufacturing industries in the United States and Canada including food equipment, point of display, automobile, heavy industrial equipment, retail, and medical devices.
