The engineering manager for a large Tier I supplier summed it up best when comparing us to a competitor, "your hardware is better, your software is better, your support is better." We prefer to exhibit humility when promoting our company, but we've worked too hard and too long to keep it a secret. Below are just a few of the reasons why we believe you should source your weld monitoring needs from IMPACT. Primary Business
Our primary business is the design, development, sales, and support of arc weld monitoring solutions. Our entire organization is focused on providing and maintaining industry leading arc weld monitoring technology. With no concern for selling power supplies, robots, or weld integration services, our customer’s arc weld monitoring needs are first and foremost.
Technology Leader
IMPACT is the recognized technology leader in arc weld monitoring solutions. Our software is replete with functionality yet user-friendly. Our weld detection algorithms have been empirically proven as the most effective in the industry. Our hardware is time tested and rugged. Our patented Part Tracking® technology produces effective implementations in even the most complicated welding cells.
Dedicated Support
With a single focus on arc weld monitoring, our support staff is dedicated to assisting customers towards the effective utilization and exploitation of arc weld monitoring information.
Universal Solution
Our ARCAgent™ arc weld monitoring product line is welding power supply and robot controller independent. Our solutions can integrate with any of the major welding suppliers. Our solution negates the need to learn and maintain various custom solutions on different weld cells.
Proven Reliability
We have a significant number of systems in the field with early systems implemented in 1997. The ARCAgents™ are rugged and reliable with nearly 100% uptime.
Scalable
Our robust product line serves manual, semi-automatic, and robotic solutions. All systems utilize the same PC interface. Solutions are customizable due to our scalable software and hardware.
Robust PC Utilization
The ARCAgent™ arc weld monitor is a standalone solution which does not require a PC to detect welding faults. However, a PC with ARClient® software is necessary to configure the ARCAgent™ for proper operation. Our solutions utilize the PC for HMI (human-machine interface), data collection, analysis, and setup. The reliability and real-time operation of the PC in the manufacturing environment is not an issue as a result of our distributed architecture. Our intelligent design protects the customer from the excessive downtime and constant maintenance associated with PCs running hard disks with operating systems at the welding cell.
