Today began my internship at this company called Arcmatic Welding Systems. They're a small company which is located in the San Francisco area that specializes in making welding systems, as you can tell by their name. Basically Arcmatic was founded by a gentleman named William L Bong who has been perfecting the VertaSlag® and the HD-SubArc+MP® Welding Methods since 1973; his company focuses on developing welding systems that drastically improve the efficiency of the welding process.
The machine above is called a " boom manipulator welding system ". I'm not too familiar with the technical details of how it works but from what I observed it uses the AC/DC currents to melt copper wires onto steel plates which forms a weld. The copper wires are held in the two white bins on the back of the machine, they run from the back to the front through the blue tubes which are suspended by a pulley system to ensure that they are aligned. There's a little black box above the vertical orange tubes in the front of the machine that deposits the flux onto the molten copper during the weld to ensure that no oxygen enters the weld. I'm fairly new to this line of work so to get a better picture of how this machine actually works heres a link:
