    Our new car body repair spot welder is a Tecna 3664 DC current welding station with inverter technology. It's considered the most advanced on the market. The machine is fully automatic when in smart plus mode. The welding control is able to automatically recognize the type and thickness of the sheets to be welded, from sensors in the gun. This eliminates operator error as the software automatically sets specific welding parameters to ensure the best quality welds, without having to rely on a specific skill set. By means of a flash drive, it's also possible to upload OEM specific welding programs.

    If a fault is detected, the machine will compensate for this fault, or if it's not possible to perform a welding procedure, information is displayed explaing the fault.

    Pretty cool machine! I love how technology makes it so an idiot can weld, repair a plane, for fix a boat, and do your robotic surgery. I own the same antique Hunter tire machine in the backround. You need to get a new shiny one to complement that awesome spot welder.

    I really like that it takes the special skill set out of the process. We have to know the welds will be perfect every single time with no room for error.

    Sema show later this month Hunter always has huge show only discounts, I have my eyes on a new machine with a 2nd helper arm.

    Yes a good person welding is the best. But the best are mostly gone. The young person who pines after being the best are very few and many young are unwilling to put in their time for the experience it takes to be the best. These new welding machines can alter the weldment in real time using real science to make the ideal weld.
