R
otating arc welding, also known as
SpinArc
TM
, is a newly emerging welding
technology. Utilising a unique welding
torch, the welding electrode rotates
in a circular motion at a high rate of speed.
Centrifugal force propels molten droplets across
the arc creating a consistent and sound weld
bead. This enables high deposition rate welding
for significant increases in productivity. Other
valuable benefits include enhanced quality and
safety.
