A company that manufactures metal items must have quality equipment that can make quick and easy work of any process. With a large number of welding machines on the market, it can be hard to determine which one will function as needed without costing an arm and a leg. Before a company rushes out and purchases a Welding Machine, it is important to research the various features of each model. While the following isn’t an all inclusive list, it is the top three things to consider while shopping. With a little knowledge, choosing quality equipment can be simple and affordable.
Type of Machine
While a standard metal welder is one of the most common, some companies find that they receive better results with a plasma cutting device. It produces a high-temperature weld, which can make it easier to complete projects. While they are more expensive, it can increase employee productivity and reduce the length of production time by as much as ten percent.
Fuel Source
The most common fuel source for a Welding Machine is propane. While it is a great option for mobile set ups, some larger manufacturing companies choose one that is powered by natural gas. This will allow a company to use a natural gas connection to provide power to the device, and prevent the need to maintain fuel levels in an exterior fuel tank. Consider both options and choose the one that is the most cost efficient to install and maintain.
Machine Size
These machines come in a wide array of sizes. Those designed for mobile applications can be carried over a shoulder with a built in strap. If mobility isn’t a requirement, then a larger unit that can be floor mounted will ensure quick work of any welding project, and a device that is securely stored in place. Make sure to consider how the device will be used before determine what size machine to purchase.
