Welder Improvements Target Productivity and Safety

摘要

Recent innovations within the welding segment have centered around safety and productivity, according to manufacturers. Improved products and add-ons help keep costs down on site, and technology makes skilled worker tasks more intuitive. Using remote tools and hybrid machines, for example, improve the way welders perform. According to Miller Electric, a typical welder or ironworker makes adjustments to their weld parameters about four times a day on average. To do this, they must walk from the welding area to the power source-a trip that could take as long as 10 to 15 minutes. The revenue lost during that time totals to about $11,250 per welder per year, the company says.
