6 Ways That Automating Your Cutting and Welding Applications With BUG-O Can Save You Money
1. By automating your welding and cutting applications you immediately increase production. The moment you take the gun out of an operators hand and mount it on a BUG-O SYSTEMS machine, your production will increase. BUG-O machines don't stop to take a break or reposition themselves. The machine will move the torch continuously - without stopping - hour after hour.


2. Automating your welding and cutting applications reduces operator fatigue.
The operator no longer has to worry about continually repositioning himself or maintaining a constant torch-to-work relationship.
3. Grinding and touch-up can be greatly reduced or eliminated. When a BUG-O machine carries the torch, the machine moves the torch in a precise path at a governed rate of speed. This process produces a smooth uniform weld or cut which requires little or no touch-up.

4. Distortion can be greatly reduced. Since an operator must constantly start and stop a weld or cut longer than 14-16 inches, the work is heated differently from one place to the next. This results in distortion, requiring heat treating and straightening procedures to get the work back to its original shape. When a BUG-O machine carries a torch, it provides uniform heat input and puts the right amount of weld in the right place.


5. Reduce material handling by taking the machine to the workpiece.
BUG-O SYSTEMS equipment is lightweight and portable. It can easily be carried anywhere in your facility. Powerful magnets or vacuum cups hold the machine in virtually any position.
6. The quality of your product will be greatly improved. Because the variables of a hand held weld or cut are eliminated, the quality of your work will improve. Starts and stops will be eliminated. Your cuts will be smooth and accurate and the welds will be uniform and smooth. Not only does the quality go up with BUG-O equipment, but your production does as well, which means you can save more money on each project you work on!
