Texas State University hosts Women of Welding camp

-

 Texas State University’s Department of Agricultural Sciences hosted its first Women of Welding Camp July 18-22, 2022. The camp was open to high school females going into their sophomore, junior, or senior year and interested in a career in the welding industry.

The students learned about bills of materials, blueprints, and metal processing and participated in numerous lecture and hands-on classes, including oxyacetylene, GMAW, SMAW, and FCAW. They also attended presentations by several industry experts, including Diane Nielsen, Voestalpine Bohler Welding USA; Stephanie Hajducek, a design lead/project engineer for The Chemours Co. and founder of This One’s for the Gals organization; Heather Roussere, lead instructor at Arclabs welding school; Brooke Williams, CWI, a welder, welding educator, and business owner; Stephanie Hoffman, owner of UnderGround Metal Works; and Courtney Noppe, CFO for R&N Mfg.

Collaborative robotic welding systems gain traction on the job shop floor

-
Image
Collaborative robot welding packages are a viable solution for small and medium-sized job shops. They are easy to implement and operate without prior robotic experience and require a lower overall investment. Lincoln Electric The demand for robotic welding systems on small to medium-sized shop floors grows steadily, reflecting the urgency of job shops to make their operations more efficient and competitive in the face of the notoriously tight market for manual welders. This is a relatively new phenomenon. Up until recently, the uptake of robotic welding had been more prevalent in heavy industries. The prevailing perceptions that robots are costly, inflexible, and difficult to program have deterred small-scale companies from investing in the technology. Another principal area of concern has been safety. Like any other piece of machinery, an industrial robot typically operates in an environment safeguarded by barriers, screens, and other protective measures to shield human workers from t...
