THG Automation

The workhorse behind the THG Automation twin-wire system is the Fronius USA twin-drive CMT torch.

With this beast, you're not just feeding two wires through a single torch, you're combining two independently-driven wires through Fronius's advanced push-pull CMT drives to deliver more material to the workpiece without creating a nasty birdnest in the hose pack. In addition to working in perfect sync, you also have the flexibility to run as a single-wire system for your less demanding operations.

👨‍🏭👨‍🏭 Flexible operation: Run single or dual wires based on your individual application.
🥶🥶 Cool to the touch: Chilled coolant pumped through the gas nozzle keeps your system running longer for those more demanding operations.
💥💥 Higher deposition: Synced power sources and wire feed mechanisms deliver up to 55 lbs/h.

Heavy fabrication just got a whole lot lighter. Drop a comment or reach out to THG if you could use a setup like this in your shop.

Is there anything worse than a welding cell going down when you've got tight deadlines?

How about getting the runaround from your suppliers? Next thing you know, you're three phone calls deep and everyone's pointing their fingers at each other.

You just want the system to work. That's it. With THG Automation, there's no passing the buck. One call in and you've got a technician walking you through troubleshooting step by step. Real solutions require real partnerships.

We don't just drop a system off at your loading dock and wish you luck. We stand behind our systems and want you to get the most out of your equipment.

Let's hit MIG speeds on thin stainless welds.

That's a big ask for a Monday, but if you've got the right tools, it's not the uphill battle you think it is.

Laying down clean beads on thin stainless isn't something you can easily expect from a MIG setup. You really have to dial in the settings to maintain precise heat input and control.

Fronius USA CMT MIG technology gives you consistent TIG-like welds at MIG speeds without the worry of burn through or major part defects:

✅ Precision heat control
✅ Consistent, repeatable quality
✅ No more speed bottlenecks

Quickly stacking dimes requires spending dimes in the right places. Tag someone who needs to see what these systems are capable of doing.

Friday Food for Thought - You've got a top-tier team, but who do you actually put in charge of the new cobot cell.

The system is easy to operate, but you still need someone who can read prints, understands joint setups and can instantly spot the difference between a good weld and rework.

🦾 Cobot automation repeats what you tell it to do - it's not a replacement for your skilled team, it's enhancement. THG Automation offers training to help your team get their bearings so they can become self-sufficient in running and troubleshooting the cell.

That's where the real value comes in.

You got anything going on later this month, say the 21-23?

**flips calendar**

🚨 It's officially FABTECH month!🚨

📆 Oct. 21-23, 2026 | Doors open daily at 9:00 am
📍 Las Vegas Convention Center - booth | Las Vegas, NV

Las Vegas is calling and the THG Automation booth is going to be hot! This year, we aren't just bringing some new toys. We're launching our new:

🛠️🏃‍♂️ MobileRunner - A linear track system for the THG Mobile Platform.
🦾🏃‍♂️ CobotRunner - A new table- and floor-mounted linear rail system.
🦾👨‍💻 MegaCap - The newest, feature-rich version of THG's URCap software program.

and much more!

If you're ready to see the latest in welding and automation technology, consider this your warning. You'll want to make the THG booth a top visit. Click the link in the comments to register for the show and we'll see you in Vegas!

No need to sweat it.

You spend so much time perfecting a model, so it can be stressful watching it get welded for the first time.

Is there any better feeling than seeing the cobot drop a flawless bead right out of the box? How about when the customer comes back and says you nailed it and they want to drop another contract on your team.

That kind of confidence is infectious for a shop. Long days fly by. Everyone's got a little extra pep in their step. Everthing just runs smooth. Take Funkhouser Racecars for example - good parts right out of the box being shipped to happy customers.

When's the last time a new piece of tech worked for you on the first try? Drop a comment below.

s arc-on time your only bottleneck?

When management asks what's holding up production, the answer isn't a simple "weld faster." Spatter control, poor pe*******on and extensive secondary processes await you if you just bump up the speed.

Real throughput comes from examining your current processes from start to finish. Take West Coast Manufacturing for example. When demand spiked, they didn't just add to their system inventory. They asked themselves "How can we improve operations, not just speed up welding?" The result: their productivity soared by nearly 4x.

Automating is only part of the answer. Picking the right tool for the job is where you see productivity gains.

When's the last time you looked at cobot automation? Was Netflix still delivering DVD's?

If so, maybe it's time to refresh the chat.

Cobots provide a serious productivity boost without the space, capital and safety concerns of traditional robot automation. They're equipped to tackle everything from complex joints to simple, repetive work, acting as a force multipler and letting your team focus on cricital applications.

Automation isn't just for high-volume work anymore. Whether you're adding to your existing fleet or new to the automation game, it's time to give cobots a good look.

Let's start the week by taking the brakes off your production.

How much of a buzzkill is it when you get a new piece of tech on the shop floor only to wait for weeks for it to come online. 😣 It's like getting a new toy only to realize the second package got delayed.

Not only does it cool off the excitement of new equipment, but you know have more occupied floorspace doing nothing.

THG Automation systems are designed to be productive from the get-go. Connect some wires, tighten some bolts, have an experienced welder input parameters and you're off to the races. 🏎️ No delays. No excuses.

The best part...no complicated coding needed. Our user-friendly URCaps and teach pendant make it easy for your to pick up the tablet and program advanced welding features right there at the system. 👨‍🏭

Friday Food for Thought: You already know where the hidden bottlenecks are on your floor.

You've been in the business long enough to see what happens when efficiency is ignored - it makes your job infinately harder.

Smart management teams don't just drop a robot on the floor and walk away. They rely on their teams to identify legitimate solutions to support your engineering plans. Implementing that solution the right way gives your crew the exact backup they need to clear heavy backlogs without burning out the team.

While any investment is a gamble, a cafefully-planned move by leadership can help keep your shop running at peak effeciency.
