We review some common difficulties in vision and measurements, and insights into the improved quality and efficiencies gained from learning and using new methods and equipment. We also get an overview on I-CAR's Introduction to Welding Basics program, an insight into the importance of practicing welds, the common issues seen in welding, and the need for certification to ensure the safety of the weld. the business. and the customer.
