This discussion focuses on the selection, descriptions, and applications of welding timers, contractors, and accessories. Packed with a punch, Don Sorenson drives home understanding energy that creates a weld, H=I2rt, that is unforgettable. Learn how this invaluable formula is used in every resistance welding application–every day–every cycle–all the time!

Resistance Spot and Projection Weld Standards and Quality
A unique session designed to make you think about the quality standards associated with two common forms of resistance welding, spot and projection. After hearing Don’s presentation, it is very possible that you will never look or think about a weld the same again.
Donald Maatz, Welding Engineer, RE Automated

Initial Machine Set-Up
Mike takes the mystery out of weld program setup by guiding attendees through the steps required to select proper welding schedules. He will also introduce preventive maintenance programs designed to make resistance welding operations more profitable. Hands-on demonstrations peak this presentation.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance
We have been using this Weld Schedule for two years! Why are my weld failing? If your weld schedule hasn't changed, maybe it's not the problem. Mike Prokop will guide you through the process of determining where the problem may be and how to correct it.
