MIG/MAG Welder

You read the assembly drawing, position and tack the parts on the jig, then weld fillet and butt joints in steel from 3 to 12 mm with a MIG or MAG torch. You set the wire speed, the voltage and the gas flow yourself and adjust them to the joint. Each assembly is checked for straightness with a square and a tape before it leaves the bench, and visible defects are ground out and rewelded. Grinding, deburring and marking are part of the post. The shift is 07:00-16:00 from Monday to Thursday and 07:00-12:00 on Friday.

A welder who passes the qualification on stainless steel and takes on TIG work moves to the assembly bench, where the workshop prices the hour higher and the drawings are more demanding.

The workshop is a covered hall with welding booths, mechanical fume extraction at each bench and an overhead crane for the heavy frames. A welding helmet, leather gloves, an apron and safety shoes are mandatory.
