Automatic welding, for which the equipment requires little or no observation or manual adjustment, has enabled industry to dramatically accelerate output and increase quality. This conference covers new technologies in automatic controls, training and management innovations, and automation breakthroughs for the latest welding processes, including friction and thermal stir welding, hot-wire tungsten arc, laser/GMAW hybrid welding, as well as automation technologies for traditional processes, such as submerged arc.
May 13-14, 2008 New Orleans, Louisiana
