In the ever-evolving world of welding automation, partnerships between industry leaders can spark innovation and deliver superior solutions to customers. One such collaboration that’s making waves is the partnership between CLOOS, a renowned welding automation company, and NS ARC, a specialist in welding consumables. We recently had the opportunity to dive deep into this alliance with Adam Moore, Business Development Manager at CLOOS North America, to understand how this partnership is reshaping the welding landscape.
The CLOOS Advantage: Vertical Integration in Welding Automation
With over 25 years in the welding industry, Adam Moore brings a wealth of experience to his role at CLOOS. He emphasized that CLOOS stands out in the market due to its vertical integration approach. Unlike many competitors, CLOOS produces not just the welding power supply, but also the robot and everything in between. This comprehensive control allows CLOOS to:
- Make rapid adjustments to their systems
- Avoid integration issues with third-party equipment
- Take full responsibility for the entire welding solution
This vertical integration enables CLOOS to push boundaries in welding automation, such as mounting robots on positioners to achieve optimal welding angles for large, complex parts.
Tailored Solutions for Challenging Applications
CLOOS has built its reputation by tackling some of the most challenging welding applications in industries like agriculture, construction, and mining. Their expertise lies in:
- Handling very large components
- Optimizing high-deposition welding processes
- Improving cycle times and consistency
While historically focused on large manufacturers, CLOOS is now leveraging this experience to serve smaller manufacturers as well, offering consulting services to help improve welding efficiency across the board.
The CLOOS-NS ARC Partnership: A Perfect Blend of Expertise
The partnership between CLOOS and NS ARC brings together two companies with complementary strengths:
- Agility: Both companies are nimble enough to respond quickly to customer needs.
- Customer focus: Their size allows for more personalized attention and consulting.
- Filler material optimization: NS ARC’s expertise in welding consumables complements CLOOS’s automation prowess.
Adam Moore highlighted how this collaboration allows CLOOS to have more control over the entire welding process, including the critical element of filler material. This partnership enables them to offer comprehensive solutions, especially for challenging applications that require expertise in both automation and materials.
Looking to the Future: Collaborative Innovation
The CLOOS-NS ARC partnership is poised to drive innovation in the welding industry. By combining CLOOS’s automation expertise with NS ARC’s material knowledge, they can:
- Develop tailored solutions for first-time robotic welding users
- Address complex welding challenges that require both automation and material expertise
- Provide faster, more comprehensive consulting services to customers
As the welding industry continues to evolve, partnerships like this one between CLOOS and NS ARC are set to play a crucial role in delivering cutting-edge solutions that meet the diverse needs of manufacturers across various sectors.
For businesses looking to optimize their welding processes or explore automation options, the CLOOS-NS ARC partnership offers a unique blend of expertise that could be the key to unlocking new levels of efficiency and quality in welding operations.
