“We haven’t had a wire reject in well over a year,” reports Shinn Mechanical pipefitter/welder Steve Sayers. The advanced MIG welding outputs of Miller’s PipeWorx™ Welding System — RMD™ and Pro-Pulse™ — enable Sayers to make code-quality root, fill and cap welds while completing them three to four times faster than TIG or Stick welding."

Shinn Mechanical has increased MIG weld quality to the point where operators can’t remember their last rejected weld, reduced grinding time by 30 percent and reduced process changeover time to “two seconds.”

Further, its operators complete joints three to four times faster than shops that rely solely on Stick and TIG technology by using the new PipeWorx™ Welding System, a pipe-specific multiprocess welding system from Miller Electric Mfg. Co. and recommended by Jim Hedberg, a representative from Pacific Welding Supply.
