"The machines were cutting out thermally in summer at lower duty cycles than expected." Duty cycle is rated at 40°C ambient—the same temperatures many Queensland workshops see in summer. Thermal margin determines whether a machine keeps running through a shift. Learn more!

"The induction was excellent. The equipment maintenance was absent. The extraction unit hadn't moved in months." The paper system looked fine. The actual system didn't exist. Welding safety is an operational system — not a compliance record. 📋 #WeldandSafety #WeldingSafety #AustralianWelding

Reliable workshops aren't just lucky. They have inspection schedules, asset registers, pre-use checks, and a service partner who knows welding equipment — not just electrical testing. The difference shows up in production consistency, deadline reliability, and compliance standing.

AS 4839 doesn't just cover how you use oxy/fuel equipment. It covers how you maintain it. That means regular inspections, leak testing, documented service history, and arrestors that are actually fit for purpose. Our latest article breaks it all down in plain workshop language.

When your welder starts playing up — unstable output, intermittent faults, inconsistent performance — it's usually not random. Something has been building for weeks. The workshops that stay ahead of breakdowns don't have better luck. They have better systems. Inspection routines. Equipment tracking.

Workshop cabinets aren’t just storage. The real difference is whether your consumables are manually managed, supplier-managed, or tracked through vending systems. #workshopcabinets #workshopstoragecabinets #industrialstoragesystems #workshopinventorymanagement

Not all welding supplies are sourced the same way. The right supplier can mean fewer delays, better consistency, and safer operations. Start with quality welding supplies. #qualityweldingsupplies #weldingtools #weldingconsumables #workshopefficiency #weldingprofessionals #metalfabrication

If you're evaluating a switch, focus less on features and more on what affects your workflow daily—visibility consistency, fatigue, and how often you need to adjust mid-weld.

Tweco 4 became widely adopted not through heavy marketing, but through compatibility, availability, and consistent use across workshops. Over time, these factors aligned manufacturers, suppliers, and users around a common system.

Workshops don’t lose time welding—they lose it on inconsistency. Here’s why many are standardising on Tweco 4 to reduce downtime and improve workflow. #Tweco #Tweco4 #WeldinginAustralia #Qualityweldingsupplies #Weldingsafety
