In the first quarter of 2023, a US tank manufacturer was experiencing long lead times with consumables for their current MIG welding guns and was seeking an American-made solution to avoid production delays. They decided to trial PowerBall® MIG Guns in a demanding application that required welding at 400 amps @ 100% duty cycle.
Throughout the trial, welders at the facility saw increased contact tip life over their previous consumables and the ergonomic handle design was more comfortable during operation. As an added benefit, downtime was reduced since tip changeout was less frequent. Satisfied with the results, the decision was made to convert their facility to PowerBall® MIG Guns after gaining confidence in the performance and fast lead times on the welding consumables. |
