New Automated Welder Improves Manufacturer's Weld Quality

Marlin Steel recently purchased a Versaweld CSR102-1230-3-MFDC NC Jig Welding System from IDEAL Welding Systems. According to the company, this new, medium frequency automated welder from IDEAL is one of five in the world, and the only one outside of Germany.

"Where most standard welding machines can only operate along a flat plane, the IDEAL medium frequency welder supports welding in three dimensions," said a company spokesperson. "This welder also has rotating heads that can weld along curved or irregular shapes, not just the typical right angles to which older welding machines are restricted. The time it takes the robotic welder to complete a weld operation is 2/1,000 of a second, which is 30 times faster than the 60/1,000 of a second weld speed typical of most welders. With a welding table of 10 feet X 4 feet, this machine is also equipped to handle larger jobs than most automated welders, which are limited to a smaller 4 feet X 4 feet table.

"Upgrading to this new technology will improve the speed at which Marlin Steel can process welding jobs. Larger, more complicated parts will be able to be welded without having to resort to manual welding support. This will expand the list of welding operations Marlin Steel can handle while adhering to the motto 'quality engineered quick'."

Marlin Steel is a manufacturing company that specializes in creating custom wire and sheet metal forms. Marlin Steel serves clients in industries that include aerospace, automotive, pharmaceutical, medical and industrial. "Since adopting automated manufacturing equipment and techniques, Marlin Steel has consistently doubled revenue in five years and increased well paying manufacturing jobs year after year," said the spokesperson.
