the standard I'm referring to is ANSI/AWS D8.8-97, ASE HSJ1196 Specification for Automotive and Light Truck Components Weld Quality. We have been welding these same type of components for 20+ years, but unfortunatly we are behind the times as far as our documentation is concerned. Our machines are hard automation, so the operators are not technically "welders" but more like Machine operators (load and unload parts, tool changes, minor adjustments, visual inspection). Now, we have some very promising business opportuities and are very interested in "stepping into the 90's".
