General
The Power Industry is comprised of plants that utilize a fuel source such as natural gas or coal to heat water to create steam and generate power. Welded components used in the power generation industry are usually for high-pressure applications. The welds require consistency and integrity to ensure each component is able to withstand these environments.
We provide precision automated welding solutions for the manufacturing of boiler components and pressure gauges. Our user friendly interface and powerful controls combined with precision motion components ensure that we can provide a solution for virtually any application.

Case Studies
The Need
The majority of components in this industry are used in high pressure situations, so the integrity of the welds is essential. Consistency is necessary to maintain a high quality part. To achieve this level of consistency on an automated system, there must be precise velocity, positioning, and welding power supply control.
Solution
One of the greatest advantages to AMET systems is that we implement encoder-based servo motors on all of the critical axes of motion. These axes are programmable by velocity as well as position, so they are ideally suited for performing precise welds on a wide range of parts or for repetitious tasks where consistency and uniformity are crucial. Our controls also integrate directly with the welding power supply to program the welding parameters from the welding controller.
We offer complete lines of lathes, manipulators, positioners, seam welders, and weld heads to fulfill the requirements for virtually any application. Each weld fixture is built to provide robustness to increase consistency and longevity of the system.
Result
Our systems are proven. We have several welding systems currently being used to produce high quality components for this industry. These systems are utilized to create a wide range of parts.
Our systems are built for longevity. We produce all of our controls and software in- house, which allows us to provide years of service after the sale. Our ability to diagnose, repair, and service each system prevents obsolescence and provides a good return on investment.
One of our greatest strengths is our knowledgeable customer service department that will support each system expertly and courteously.
