All of the indicators that I watch are pointing towards a strong year-end and a great 2022. Our backlog is up 5X, we are hiring, and as you can see from the photos below, the ARC Specialties First Friday Lunch is BACK in a big way. Today we had 15 guests from all over the industry, spirits were high, and the conversation was positive.
Yesterday we had the honor of hosting Bob Roth the President of the American Welding Society (AWS) and past President JOHN BRAY on a tour of ARC Specialties. It is volunteers like Bob & John that make the American Welding Society work.
ARC Specialties has built automatic hotwire tig cladding systems for 30 years. These machines apply a welded coating to the inside of valves, fittings, and pipes
Because they deal primarily with physical products, anyone in manufacturing knows that the industry as a whole has taken a hit from the effects of the pandemic.
Steam boiler explosions in the 1800s claimed many lives. In response to these accidents, ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers) created a system of voluntary welding codes and specifications to ensure pressure vessel weld integrity.
Over the last 15 plus years, John Stoll has brought together an array of speakers with immense knowledge in the welding industry. On March 23rd, he looks forward to showcasing his 2nd Virtual Welding Symposium with ARC Specialties.
Another weld video from our archives. In your car engine, the bearings are made with inexpensive heat-treated carburized steel riding on Babbitt bearings made mostly of tin.
At ARC Specialties we are big advocates for video monitoring of the welding process. We add cameras to most of our systems. The late Don Alexander once told me that he could see 100 different things in the leading edge of the weld puddle. I’m only up to 86 😉 but I agree that much can be learned by watching the weld.
We also thrive on being a full-service integrator that will be there every step of the way to help streamline your automation project. We offer on-site and off-site training, welding procedure qualifications, installation, remote diagnostics, process development, and automation assessments.
Right now is a great time to consider starting a robotics company with the market offering a range of resources such as open-source code, a competent workforce, and more affordable components than ever before.
