Welding Cable Applications Span the Globe

20th Mar 2019

Not much time or attention is paid to welding cable by most people unless they are in the industrial world. But in those industries which use not only welders, but also robotic welding equipment, cable is indispensable. Depending upon the type of application for the welding cable, the characteristics and engineering of the cable become extremely important.

Consistent Delivery
Welding cable comes in many designs and from many companies but what matters most to all users of welding cable are two things - longevity and power transmission. Many manufacturers of electrical wire and cable use lower-quality materials to save money. Electrical Wire and Cable Specialists (EWCS) doesn’t cut corners on base materials. Only the highest-quality copper is sourced to build EWCS cable. That’s important when consistent delivery is on the line.

Consistent Quality
Copper cable can be manufactured in different ways. Many times, manufacturers try to save money by extruding copper with less stringent surface consistency standards. This results in cracks and nicks along the length of the wire or cable. These cracks and nicks create electrical flow issues and can result in variances in transmission strength as well as wire usage longevity. No one wants to shut down a production line to replace a defective length of cable. The costs in time and money can be horrendous.

Welding Robots and Human Welders Need the Same Thing
Production lines, whether robotic or human, need welding cable that can produce quality results time after time, without failure. Replacing a welding cable may not be a particularly difficult task, but the interruption to production schedules and the cost of labor to replace the cable can affect the bottom line pretty quickly.

Flexibility is Key
When robots or humans move around to complete their welding tasks, the cable attached to the welder must have the ability to flex over time without wearing the copper wire or the sheathing to the point of breakage. These machine or man-made operations can flex a cable thousands and thousands of times. Many manufacturers use inferior grade materials to produce their welding cable. This can result in extended or numerous down-time situations. EWCS designs and engineers their welding cable to the strictest standards and specifications.

More Than Just the Welding Cable
As a manufacturer of wiring and cable, EWCS knows there are many ways to improve profitability on products. One way is to use lower-cost, lower-quality materials in the production of the products. That’s not the way EWCS does business. Only the best quality base materials are used to produce EWCS wire and cable and that includes welding cable. But there is more to it than just manufacturing quality wire and cable.

Value That Makes Sense
The customers who have been purchasing and using EWCS products for the last quarter century know there’s more than just wire and cable products for sale. There’s excellent customer service from any of the seven service centers across the USA. That adds value to every customer experience. EWCS also provides excellent delivery service with two day shipping. That adds value as well. Then there is the free shipping on all orders. There is even more value added to the transaction.

Made in the USA
One of the greatest values EWCS provides to their customers is the pride and knowledge their products are all made in the USA. Savvy and experienced buyers of electrical products know you can get pretty much anything you want from offshore resources in China or India and spend less money. But the delivery schedules, materials content, and other factors should weigh heavily in the decision and the value-creation equation. With EWCS there’s no cutting corners on materials to make more money.

Buying Factory Direct is Where EWCS Customers Get Ahead
When most wire and cable manufacturers make the decision to sell to local or regional distributors, they are spending their end user’s money by way of the markups those distributors add onto the products they sell. In some cases, those markups can be 40% to 50% or more. Rather than have their customer’s money going to a middleman, EWCS prefers their customers get the full value of their dollar and buying direct from the manufacturer is one of the ways EWCS provides its customers with added value.
