Welding equipment manufacturers provide free software upgrades

摘要

One of the benefits that leading welding equipment manufacturers offer to their customers is a guarantee that the welding unit they purchase will not become obsolete because of software upgrades. The manufacturers, such as Lincoln Electric Co., ESAB Welding & Cutting, and Miller Electric Manufacturing Co., accomplish that by providing free software upgrades for new equipment. The upgrades are available either as downloads from the manufacturers' Internet sites, or via email or computer disc. For example: Customers who purchase an ESAB (www.esab.com) Aristo welding system arc entitled to unlimited free updates for the operating system that is supplied with the unit. Those customers are entitled also to free updates for the synergic welding data that goes along with the systems.
