Red-D-Arc helped a company save a lot of time and money with a welding project.

Red-D-Arc Welderentals is much more than a great supplier of welding equipment, generators, and related products. The company is also a valuable team of experts that works closely with customers to find the right solution to every issue. Red-D-Arc has a long history of success stories with client collaborations. For example, just last year, the company recommended a custom welding package for a client that needed to rebuild an electric motor shaft.

Only three hours to complete

This project required the customer to reconstruct the equipment by welding new fins onto a shaft with a diameter of seven inches. Part of the process involved preheating the shaft to a temperature higher than 200 degrees Celsius and welding it with a submerged-arc process, or SAW. The firm expected to have to outsource the project; it also predicted that the task would take about 40 hours to complete.

For the best possible solution, the company turned to the renowned Red-D-Arc expert team to assist them. Red-D-Arc representatives assessed the project and then suggested a custom welding package that included the Miller ProHeat 35 and Lincoln’s LT7 sub arc package.

ProHeat 35 is a versatile, liquid-cooled system that can be used in manual programming mode when the operator applies a power output to a part for a specified time or in a temperature-based programming mode if the part temperature is used to control power output. Designed for high-temperature preheating, stress relief, and hydrogen bake-out, this system can reach temperatures up to 788 degrees Celsius and be used with an optional digital recorder.

The LT7 is a self-propelled mechanized DC wire feeder for SAW welding, ideal for use in heavy fabrication industries that require long welds in flat and horizontal positions. This equipment can be used with or without an optional track.

The customer used this custom welding package, and the project took a mere three hours to complete. Not only could the company perform the project in-house, it also saved a substantial amount of money. The firm also now has a new service to offer its own clients.
