We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "MIG Welding",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release One unit controls robot and welding from
ICS Robotics and Automation, which we summarised at the time by saying "Embedded arc control technology used in robotic welding eliminates the need for three separate control systems and combines control of the robot, welder and servo wire feeder
into a single unit".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release MIG welding torches operate up to 500A from
Tregaskiss Welding Products: "Self-shielded MIG welding torch, designed for use with self-shielded flux-cored wire and operating at up to 500A, lowers costs in demanding welding environments".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Cloos Schweisstechnik
concerning its Robotic welding systems at Niesky
- take a look at 60m robot system welds aluminium rolling stock
which says: "Robotic welding systems on a 60m long overhead track are reducing fabrication costs and shortening construction times in building railway rolling stock, writes Walter Lutz".
Take a look also at the news release from Lincoln Electric Company, The, Wire aids MIG welding on aluminum,
as well as Standard MIG/MAG welders are heavy duty from Wilkinson Star,
and MIG welding controller has 255 memories from ESAB.
