Hi Lawrence, appreciate the reply.
While I've never purchased Ed Craig's products, I've looked at his website several times and see a lot of sense in what he says, after weeding through all the egotistical BS.
I agree that he definately knows his stuff and has probly forgotten more about welding than I'll ever know.
I made the mistake of asking my boss once if I could buy some of Ed's training materials concerning Robotics. That's when I received a 30 minute lecture about the reason why our sister company still uses short circuit transfer, in semi structural applications, and has a huge spatter problem, is a result of hiring Ed Craig as a consultant.
While I understand that a company that does not have pulse capable machines doesn't have to run out and buy them to make product, I don't think that means that a company that is pulse capable shouldn't use it...
So, anyway, The words Ed and Craig used together in my office is a dirty word...
I saw some dual wire robotics for the first time this year at Fabtech. That really looks like the way to go, and I would push for it if we were buying new equipment. Right now I'm trying to get the most use out of what we have.
Thanks for the input,
Tim
