What do you do when you're a 4-man shop with a backlog of customer requests? Ask Funkhouser Race Cars.

Like many shops, they hit a wall when it came to hand TIG welding automotive components: slow speeds and a skilled labor shortage making production times a significant challenge.

Everything changed when their cobot welding station from THG hit the floor. By adding automation to their shop, their production skyrocketed.

The results? Game-changer:
⏱️ Production time for a rear-end housing dropped from 2 hours to 8 minutes!
👨‍🏭 TIG-like quality at MIG speeds
💰 Better parts out the door for less

Stop asking "How to we finish this order" and start asking "Where do we store extra parts?"

While it is one of the most precise welding processes out there, TIG's slow speed and difficulty to automate was a bottleneck for many shops.

That's why THG Automation built a cobot TIG welding system.

For those applications where TIG is a must-have, our flexible, high-precision solution features a full suite of features:
⚡️ AC/DC capabilities.
🛠️ TIG welding torch with push and push-pull wire feeds in addition to autogenous TIG.
👨‍💻 THG-buit UR Cap with fully-integrated advanced welding functions.

The result is a system capable of handling your most complex welding operations - from thin-gauge materials to complex aerospace applications.

Struggling to dial in your MIG welding process?

Often times, welding defects are a result of machine settings, not necessarily skill or the application. With so many variables, finding the right combination can be a lot of trial and error.

In our latest guide, we break down many of these factors and how to adjust settings for a wide range of applicaitons.

Covered topics include:
✅ MIG welding essentials - Speeds, feeds, voltage, gas and how they work together
✅ MIG welding processes - Short circuit, spray, pulsed, etc...? Make sure you pick the right one.
✅ Advanced MIG technologies - Go beyond voltage and wire feed speed control to optimize your process.

If your scratching your head about inconsistent MIG welding results, this quick read is well worth a few minutes:

Raise your hand if you've ever started a weld without a part in the fixture? 🙋‍♂️

It happens to the best of us…until now.

Part Check from THG Automation checks your fixtures for parts before arcing, elimitating wasted materials and costly damage to your equipment.

How Part Check works:
👨‍🏭 The operator sets the search points and range.
⚡️ The system uses the wire to detect a part, short circuiting upon contact with the material.
⏭️ If no part is detected, the system repeats for the next search point.

Have you ever baked a cake by tossing ingredients into a bowl and hoping for the best? 🎂

Spoiler alert - it's not pretty.

The same rules apply to automation. Building a cobot welding system piecemeal from mismatched components may initially save time and money, but unplanned downtime and incomplete integration can easily add to to costly expenses. 💸

Working with partners to build a production-ready solution is a recipe for success. Everything - from the hardware to the software - is baked into the system and delivering parts from day one.

One of the biggest advantages of using a fully-integrated system - seamless communication.

A proprietary UR CAP on THG systems saves you time and improves productivity by using pre-configured weld parameters directly from your UR teach pendant. Just a few clicks and you're ready to weld.

This means:
⏱️ Faster programming
⛓️‍💥 Fewer mistakes
🌟 Better results

The goal of automation is to make life easier, not adding more margin for error.

"I've got orders to fulfill, but I don't have the capacity to do it." 😖

Manufacturers all over the world are hitting the same wall: the availability of skilled labor.

West Coast Manufacturing found that empowering their workforce was the spark they needed. With cobots handing the daily grind, their skilled team was able to focus on the more challenging workpieces, boosting quality, productivity and morale all at once.

Automation isn't replacement, it's enhancement.
