Productivity Improvements

Can advanced welding equipment from Miller provide fast payback through productivity improvements? Yes, and faster than you think! Here's why:

  • Labor accounts for approximately 85 percent of welding costs.
  • Even a small improvement in travel speed, clean-up time, pre- and post-heating, operator comfort or cycle time delivers a lightning fast payback.
  • Rapid advances in power source technology mean today's machines now have capabilities not possible just a few years ago.

If you haven't experienced new welding, cutting and heating technology from Miller, you owe it to yourself (and your bottom line) to check it out. Learn how companies like yours have discovered productivity improvements

UNCOVERING THE BENEFITS OF DYNASTY AC TIG INVERTERS: WELD THE UNWELDABLE, OR 13 WEEKS TO PAYBACK
The Advanced Squarewave Technology in Miller\'s Dynasty AC/DC TIG inverter makes welding aluminum almost like welding steel. A plane manufacturer describes the results on thin materials, while an aluminum railing builder increased productivity by 25%.

PIPELINE WELDING GOES MECHANIZED WITH THE XMT; ALSO USES PIPEPRO DIESELS FOR STICK, FLUX CORED WELDING
The Alliance Pipeline heralded the first large-scale use of mechanized welding in the U.S. It also featured several other technology firsts, including wire welding, induction heating and inverter technology…all employed to great [and profitable] success.

FASTEST TO THE FIELD - HVAC/R FIRM CUTS AND COPES WITH PORTABLE SPECTRUM PLASMA CUTTER
Forget the snips and saws. This contractor uses a new 43 lb. plasma cutter with a built-in air compressor to speed work in the field and in the shop.

MAXSTAR DC TIG INVERTERS IMPROVE RELIABILITY AND QUALITY FOR STAINLESS STEEL PROCESS FLOW SYSTEMS PROVIDER
When stainless steel grinding dust caused reliability problems with its conventional TIG units, this mechanical contractor switched to DC TIG inverters with Wind Tunnel Technology. They also exchanged their heavy units for field work and replaced them with a 10 lb. inverter.

FABRICATOR TAMES EXOTIC METALS WITH DYNASTY TIG INVERTER TECHNOLOGY
Unable to weld bike frames with older TIG technology and facing QC concerns with its MIG welds on aerospace components, this fabricator upgraded to TIG and MIG inverters to control weld bead profile and reduce rejection rate.

MULTI-PROCESS, MULTI-ARC XMT, BIG BLUE WELDING MACHINES KEEP FAST TRACK CONSTRUCTION ON SCHEDULE
This construction company\'s unique organization, equipment management skills and new types of welding equipment help them beat the clock.

XR WIRE FEED SYSTEMS IMPROVE ALUMINUM MIG AT OSHKOSH TRUCK
Tired of destroying a dozen contact tips per day because your aluminum wire burned back to the contact tip? One truck manufacturer solved that problem and others by switching from the push-only feeders used for steel to a revolutionary new push-pull wire feed system.

POWER IN THE PIT: K.S. MECHANICAL AND MILLER ENGINE DRIVES FORM A WINNING TEAM IN THE SAND AND GRAVEL BUSINESS

CONTRACTOR CUTS DOWNTIME ON BOILER REPAIR WITH PORTABLE, MULTI-OPERATOR XMT RACK
Need to concentrate a lot of arcs in one area for a big project? This contractor saved thousands of dollars by switching from systems that weigh 2 tons to new \"inverter racks\" that fit in an elevator.

HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC, WELDED STEEL MOMENT FRAMES GIVE NEW FOUR SEASONS PROPERTY SEISMIC STRENGTH

WYOMING FABRICATOR OVERCOMES POWER LIMITATIONS, EXPAND OPERATIONS WITH EFFICIENT XMT INVERTERS

PLASMA CUTTING IMPROVES PRODUCTIVITY BY 25 PERCENT

DO I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE BENCH? AUTOMATED TIG WELDING SYSTEM REDUCES DOWNTIME, KEEPS DUCT WORK ROLLING THROUGH THE SHOP

INDUCTION HEATING REDUCES PIPELINE WELDING REPAIR TIME BY 50 TO 66 PERCENT

WELDING & HEATING CHROMIUM MOLYBDENUM (P91) PIPE

TEAM INDUSTRIES CASHES IN ON ENERGY EFFICIENT INVERTER TECHNOLOGY

NEW INVERTERS IMPROVE UPTIME BY 10%, EARNS $47,781 FOR WOODS EQUIPMENT

Miller Technology Exclusives:

Auto-Line™
Automatically "links" the machine to any primary input voltage from 208 to 575 volts, single- or three-phase, 50 or 60 Hz. Also adjusts for voltage spikes within the entire range.

Auto-Link ®
Automatically links the power source to the primary input voltage being applied (115V or 230V) or (230V or 460V), without the need for manually linking primary voltage terminals.

Gun-On-Demand™
Allows you to use either a standard gun or a Spoolmatic® gun without flipping a switch. The machine senses which gun you are using when you pull the trigger.
