CASE STUDY
| 1.2mm wire | Tip speed (m/min) |
Wire feed speed(m/min) |
Arc on time (sec) |
Current | Voltage |
| Standard | 0.60 | 6 | 202 | 220 | 21 |
| MIGfast | 1.80 | 7.98 | 158 | 220 | 21 |
| Delta | +33% | +33% | -22% |
The above table are results of a case study done by a company comparing a standard welding tip with the MIGfast tip. The study was conducted on a robotic weld cell using the same amperage and voltage. As can be seen, the MIGfast tips reduced arc time by 44 seconds per cycle resulting in an extra 8 units a day, a 15% increase in output.
The reduction in spatter allowed the units to go straight to paint without the need for manual cleaning or sandblasting.
Other industry results show extended tip life of approximately 5 times over conventional tips and deposit rate increases on average of 25%. Weld quality is also noticeably improved.
