Storage Box Manufacturer Reduces Gas Waste by 63%

A Texas  manufacturer of truck storage boxes welded 236 doors with their standard gas delivery hose and one cylinder of shielding gas.  By simply installing our Gas Saver System  and a new cylinder they welded 632 doors before it was empty!  That is 2.7 times more parts.  DETAILS

These savings were accomplished with the same gas flow rate and without altering the pressures so automatic flow compensation was maintained .  WHY  HIGH PRESSURE IS A "GOOD THING."

6 Foot Delivery Hose Can Still Save 25 to 40+% Shielding Gas

 

A manufacturer using robot welders fabricating automotive exhausts, measured 25 to 40+% shielding gas savings with only a 6 foot  Gas Saver System.

The controlled amount of shielding gas provided at the weld start by the Gas Saver System can eliminate the need for preflow.  It also maintains gas delivery pressure and therefore automatic flow compensation, critical to Robotic Welding.   Details

 

PURCHASING AGENTS--Tired of rising shielding gas prices?

Here is an approach to cut your use and improve quality:

F..See above for documentation of typical gas waste.

F..See this page to estimate waste in your shop.

F..Typical calculations for shielding gas use are based on a false assumption--See Why.

F..Has your shop tried devices to reduce waste that were not successful?  We're not surprised.  See Why in This Production Example.
