Optimisation of welding to maximise profits: the calibration of stud welding generators, a profitable investment
In the stud welding sector, whether for steel studs, stainless steel studs or welded studs, profitability is a key factor. The quality and conformity of the welds are essential to avoid additional costs. The calibration of welding generators, such as stud welding machines used for SIG®, ARC, DEC, ATC processes, is a strategic investment for optimising operations and increasing profitability. C2G, an expert in stud welding solutions, generators and consumables, supports companies in this process by offering a rigorous calibration service tailored to their needs.
The financial advantages of calibration: cost control, improved productivity
- Regular calibration of stud welding generators offers numerous financial advantages:
- Reduction in maintenance costs: Well-maintained and calibrated equipment operates optimally, reducing the risk of breakdowns and costly repairs.
- Reduction in rejects and reworking: Precise and compliant welding from the first attempt limits the need for reworking, a source of wasted time and materials.
- Optimisation of productivity: High-performance and reliable equipment enables faster and more efficient welding, which increases production capacity.
- Extension of equipment life: Regular maintenance and preventive calibration help to extend the life of welding generators, thus reducing investment expenditure.
- Improvement of product quality: Welds of consistent quality help to satisfy customers, build customer loyalty and stand out from the competition.
- Compliance with standards and regulations: Calibrated equipment enables compliance with current requirements, avoids financial penalties and reinforces the brand image.
The C2G calibration service: A rigorous and transparent process
C2G offers a stud welding generator calibration service that stands out for its methodical and rigorous approach. It includes a precise control and calibration process, carried out by welding and calibration experts. The calibration includes the following steps:
C2G propose un service d'étalonnage de générateurs de soudage de goujons qui se distingue par son approche méthodique et rigoureuse. Il comprend un processus de contrôle et de calibration précis, réalisé par des experts en soudage et en étalonnage. L'étalonnage comprend les étapes suivantes :- Preventive action: cleaning and checking the various components of the generator (stud welder, cables, connections, etc.).
- Precise calibration: adjustments on a test bench to optimise the performance of the generator and guarantee the accuracy of the measurements (welding current, welding time, etc.).
- A detailed report: a test report (TR) is drawn up including the readings and discrepancies observed during calibration.
Why calibrate stud welding generators?
Calibrating stud welding generators is essential to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of welds. Poorly calibrated equipment can lead to defects, compromise compliance with standards (DIN EN ISO 17662) and affect the safety of operations.
Regular calibration maintains the quality of welds, avoids non-conformities and reduces the risk of accidents. It ensures the repeatability of welding processes and contributes to customer satisfaction.
Furthermore, the use of non-calibrated welding equipment can present risks to the safety of operators and installations. Breakdowns, malfunctions or unexpected variations in welding parameters can lead to accidents or material damage.
The summer period: an opportune moment for the calibration of welding generators
Summer, a slow period for many companies, offers an ideal opportunity for the calibration of welding generators. This preventive maintenance makes it possible to anticipate the resumption of activity and to ensure the optimal performance of the equipment. Planning calibration during the summer optimises maintenance and servicing schedules.
The flexible and available C2G teams adapt to the constraints of companies to minimise the impact of the intervention on production. By entrusting C2G with calibration during the summer, companies ensure a smooth resumption of activity. High-performance and compliant equipment avoids production interruptions and guarantees quality welding.
