Pro Spot Hosts 3-day Training Event for Collision Repair Equipment

Pro Spot hosts a three-day training at their Headquarters and Manufacturing facility in Carlsbad, CA.

Pro Spot hosted a three-day training on equipment, the industry, and more at their Headquarters and Manufacturing facility in Carlsbad, CA. The training included Spot Welders, Pulse MIG Welders, Aluminum Dent Repair, Steel Dent Repair, Plastic Welding, the big changes in Riveting and more. The event wrapped up with a themed Finish Line with a Winning Team reception.



Pro Spot distributors traveled in from across the nation to train, refresh, network, and work together to make sure the needs of the industry and customers are being taken care of.

Distributors were asked what they felt they are walking away with. John at Innovative Solutions in New Jersey explained, "More knowledge to convey to my customers. I got to see behind the scenes, meet with the engineers and see all of the work and thought that goes into making one of these units."

The goal of the training is explain the products from the ground up; from why the industry needs it, what went into the design process, why each feature exists to how it works, applications and support.

As a family business, Pro Spot also has many distributors that have many generations involved in the industry. "Of course, we all live and breathe Pro Spot, but I really loved seeing all of the new life coming in and getting inspired by the training," said Pro Spot team member, Valerie (Event Coordinator).

Pro Spot is proud of our trained distributors across the globe that are dedicated to continued training and providing their customers with the best products and best support.

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 ", allows us to dial up the amper
