The Tube Welder

2009 November 4

I work at a company that has prospered in the oil and gas industry. One of our superior advantages over our competitors is our premium tube welder. We utilize orbital tube welding on all of our undertakings. Previously, we had relied on skilled welders to do these tasks manually. This would take an extremely long time, and we could not invariably guarantee success with the welding process.

With a majority of the workforce coming near retirement or demanding unbelievably high payment, my company had made the shift to something more practical. We had heard of the US government using an orbital welder with some of its projects. One such project involved nuclear science. Because of the trusted reports we obtained about the orbital welder, we decided to give it a chance.
This ended up being a good idea for our company. The welder would run automatically once the technician input some information. Unlike older orbital welders, this model did not require the user to learn how to program it. The non-user friendly process made it challenging for users to exercise the machine. Even the most experienced welders could not figure out the perfect torch rotation speed required for a project. These were things that welders did not need to know in the past.

As Luck Would Have It, the fresher models provided an automatic programming for each project. The user simply had to enter the material, diameter, and wall thickness of the pipe. The machine would yield the data necessary for the program to operate. This would make it exceedingly easy for anyone to execute the welding process. Our company took advantage of this and started to hire more novice workers to replace the seasoned ones. The novice employees were able to use the orbital tube welding equipment flawlessy, so it was a smooth process. By making this conversion, we were able to lower our overall costs.
