What is MIG Welding?
Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding is a gas metal arc welding process common in shops and factories across the country. Robotic MIG welding uses a continuous solid wire electrode, which is fed through the machine using a liner, then out of an electrically charged contact tip. When the tip is heated, the solid wire electrode melts to create the weld and join the two base materials.
MIG welding gets its name because it uses inert gas to protect the weld puddle and the electrode from airborne contaminants, which mitigates the risk of bubbling in the weld pool to create stronger and cleaner welds.
Our MIG Welding Process at Clairon Metals
At Clairon Metals, we use innovative robotic MIG welders that can achieve very precise welds to nearly any project specification. Our skilled MIG welders use these robotic weld cells along with custom-designed, pneumatic clamping weld fixtures to guide a weld bead exactly in place every time to the proper width, length and depth of penetration. To ensure the welds are always good we also have the capability to perform Macro Etching on site. Macro etching is an advanced method of verifying weld penetration to the substrate. The part is cut at the weld joint, polished and etched then viewed in a microscope to see the penetration of the weld into the base metal. ​Robotic Welding vs. Manual Welding.
MIG welding processes may be performed using either robotic or manual techniques. While MIG welding has traditionally been performed by hand, innovations in robotics now offer comprehensive robotic welding solutions. When deciding between a robotic weld vs. a manual weld, consider the following factors:
- Accuracy. Any manual process always runs the risk of human error. Robotic MIG welding mitigates this risk, increases accuracy, and offers more reliable weld repeatability between parts in the same production run.
- Quality. Quality levels in a manual weld may vary, but an automated MIG welding process ensures the weld quality through the use of electronic weld process controllers and quality management software.
- Speed. Speed is perhaps one of the largest benefits of automated MIG welding. Robotic welders can achieve precision welds at a faster pace, which facilitates higher production volumes with shorter lead times.
- Waste. The amount of wasted material in a manual process may differ from weld to weld. A robotic welder uses the same amount of weld material in each process, ensuring less waste and predictable costs.
