Train the Trainer: SP MIG Series Course



That's A Wrap! Take a look back at our 

Train the Trainer: SP Pulse MIG Welder Course

"It was an excellent training. Thanks again
Pro Spot for taking the time to host this class."
- Randy (Red) Peterson, Straight & Square Distributing
Pro Spot Distributors from across the US and Canada gathered to learn more about the Pro Spot SP Pulse MIG Welders in order to better serve their customers.

Attendees learned about Theory and Techniques of Aluminum, Silicon Bronze and Steel MIG Welding as well as Programming and Specialty Functions to produce make working easy while still producing strong, quality welds. 

Hands-On Destructive Testing & Weld Analysis taught attendees how to spot potential structural issues with a weld and how to combat them. The Hands-On Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Servicing prepared the trainees with the knowledge and tips on how to better serve their loyal customers. 


"If you're out servicing equipment, I really don't know
how you could do it without coming to this training."
- Mike Hiemenz, Owner of Straight & Square Distributing
The event took place at Pro Spot's new Training Center at the Headquarters & Manufacturing Facility in Carlsbad, CA. Class size is limited to 15 people, which allows each student to have plenty of one-on-one time with their instructor(s). 

Pro Spot and their experienced team of Distributors throughout the US, Canada, and Internationally are dedicated to continued education and staying ahead of the curve to better assist our customers. 

"I highly recommend this training class. I learned a lot
about what I do know, don't know and need to learn."
-Steve Friar, Collision Correction Equipment

TECH TIP: SP MIG 'Hot Start': The Why & How!

SP MIG 'Hot Start': The Why & How! The Benefits & Programming of the SP Pulse MIG Welder's Hot Start Function. Quick Overview It's no secret that welding aluminum is different than steel. One of the biggest differences is how heat is dissipated on aluminum. Steel: Heat stays confined to the area where the heat is applied. Aluminum: Heat rapidly transfers throughout the material.  This causes what is known as a " Cold Start ";  the beginning of the weld bead is weak due to not enough heat at the start causing poor penetration. To counter this we have two options:  Tail-In Method -   You start the weld outside and move in toward the weld join so that the material is pre-heated allowing proper penetration.  Hot Start function  - The cleanest way to program it and avoid the cold start. (See VIDEO below) Solution :  The SP series MIG welder's " Hot Start Function ",...

Still Using Bucking Bars to Apply Rivets? Image shows the EXT-25 Extender and the Solid Rivet Dies Head and Forming sides.  Apply Solid Rivets with One Button!  For faster, easier application of Solid Rivets:  U se the Solid Rivet dies with the Pro Spot PR-5 Rivet Gun. The dies easily screw onto the Rivet Gun and is ready to work right away.  Photo Credit:  Bettmann/  Bettmann Archive To improve the application of Solid Rivets,  Pro Spot has designed new Solid Rivet Dies in an effort to help shops save time and hassle .  No longer will you need to "make something work", using a loud air hammer with a bucking bar, or use flattening dies which can be dangerous. Installing solid rivets is now as easy as installing an SPR!  WHAT :  NEW SOLID RIVET DIES- Solid Rivet Die Head Side (PRR-40) and Forming Side (PRR-41). WHERE : Easily screw on threads to PR-5 Rivet Gun. WHEN :  Are...

TECH TIP: How to Save Your Aluminum Wire

Image
Proper storage for aluminum wire when not in use is KEY to making it last longer and for producing quality welds!  Aluminum  oxidizes rapidly , and this can cause issues with weld quality and overall strength of repair.  When oxidation forms on the aluminum wire it will disrupt the arc and will be nearly impossible to maintain a proper arc. ALUMINUM WIRE WILL GO BAD IF NOT STORED PROPERLY  NO MATTER HOW LITTLE IT IS USED   Although Aluminum is becoming more abundant during production, depending on the shop, Aluminum welding may not be a regular occurrence like steel is. Proper wire storage is very important when not in use, as the aluminum  oxidizes rapidly  and this can cause issues with weld quality and overall strength of repair. This is something that is often an after thought or overlooked in the shop, and blame gets placed on welder instead of looking at the wire. When Aluminum welding wire is not in us...
