Miller teamed up with J.F. Ahern’s Pipe Fabrication shop to get them premium Arc ArmorweldingPPE that they had never tried before. The Miller team came in and personally matched up each of the welding operators with the correct welding protection for their application. They were given PAPRs (Powered Air Purifying Respirators) to keep from breathing in smoke and harmful fumes, WeldX and Classic Cloth Jackets, Titanium 9400i welding helmets with integrated grinding shields, gloves and more. After a week of use, the Miller team came back and got these testimonials from the guys and we couldn’t have asked for better feedback.
FABTECH is always the perfect time to introduce new welding products, and this year Miller has quite a few. See below for a number of videos highlighting some of the latest and greatest technologies from Miller.
MillerWelding Automation is showcasing its industry leading automated welding solutions at FABTECH 2011 (booth 5954).
In these videos, MillerWelding Automation’s Brian Doyle discusses some of the highlights of the products displayed at the show. For more information on MillerWelding Automation, visit: MillerWelds.com/Automation
Heat stress relief, especially in welding environments where temperatures regularly exceed triple digits, is extremely important for the well-being, satisfaction and productivity of your welders. We recently spent some time with Valmont Industries in Tulsa to discuss their welding operation and to discuss their use of Miller’s CoolBand helmet-integrated cooling system for heat stress relief. Here’s an excerpt with a video of the interview that follows:
Valmont Industries—a worldwide leader in the fabrication of structural and transmission towers used by municipalities, utilities, communication companies and irrigation professionals—has 95 facilities worldwide, including in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Outside temperatures in the summer regularly reach triple digits in Tulsa, and temperatures inside the plant can reach as high as 110 degrees. Noting the effects that heat stress was having on his crew of 100 welding operators, Valmont Operations Director, Tony Schuler, worked with Bobby Goodman of Best Welders Supply to identify a solution to keep the staff cool.
The company decided to test trial Miller Electric Mfg. Co.’s exclusive new CoolBand™ headgear-integrated cooling system coupled with its Performance™ Series line of welding helmets. The result: cooler, more comfortable welders who are able to get more work done in the same amount of time because there is substantially less fatigue and they spend less time wiping sweat and de-fogging glasses and lenses.
Did you miss Miller’s webinar on Responsible and Sustainable Fume Management co-sponsored with ISHN? You can still Here’s a description:
Welding fumes and fume regulations have become an ever increasing area of concern for welding facilities and safety personnel. While there has been a great deal of communication, there are still many questions among occupational health and safety managers as to the most appropriate courses of action in identifying the best suited and sustainable solutions for reducing the possible risks associated with weld fume exposure.
In this webinar, Miller Electric Mfg Co Product Manager Al Hilbert and Product Specialist Eric Sommers along with Hobart Brothers Welding Engineer, Aaron Bischoff will join Peter Lemke, president of The WORCS, and Industrial Hygienist, Bert Schiller to discuss the most relevant regulations and sustainable practices that any weld shops needs to be aware of when deploying a fume control program and choosing the proper controls. This webinar is a must-attend for any company that has welding in their operations.
What you will learn:
How regulations can impact your welding operations
Sustainable & best management practices for weld fume control
What to look for in engineering, administrative and PPE fume solutions
