autoborewelding vs.

hand welding
Climax AutoBoreWelding Systems provide you with higher quality welds, as well as substancial time & cost savings over hand welding methods.
Our automated welding systems are designed to attach directly to several of Climax boring machine mounting fixtures, allowing a single setup for both welding and machining operations. These automated welders offer high-quality, affordable welding performance for bore, flange and valve repair. Improved Safety & Productivity Remote pendant controls minimize welder's exposure to harmful fumes, heat, and flash. Eliminates tedious, repetitive motion leading to welder fatigue and injury. Welds in areas that are difficult or impossible to reach. Welder can be freed up to work on other jobs while automated welding is taking place, significantly improving productivity. Arc time is increased 100% vs. hand welding methods. Uses far less consumables vs. hand welding.
