A basic orbital welding system is comprised of a gas delivery system, a power source or arc machine, and a weld head. The gas delivery system feeds gas to the weld head that contains a tungsten electrode. The electrode transmits electricity through a channel of conductive gas that is surrounded by field gas in order [...]

Whereas for many industrial welding applications a welder may manually control gas flow to achieve satisfactory results, process welding in the clean room environment requires greater precision – precision that can only be achieved with the use of reliable and sophisticated gas delivery systems. Automatic gas cabinets play an essential role in creating efficiency and [...]

Since its introduction in aerospace manufacturing during the 1960′s, orbital welding has allowed for the advancement of efficiency in even the most complex and demanding manufacturing processes. In no manufacturing process is this as evident than in the process for manufacturing semiconductors and solid state components, wherein welds must be smaller and more precise than [...]

A reality of manufacturing chips or wafers of any kind is that some kind of inventory of dangerous gas must be kept on-hand and that the economics of employing all of it at once in an automatic gas cabinet are not that compelling. Consequently, gas that is either extremely flammable or otherwise corrosive and lethal [...]

For manufacturers of semiconductors, there is no margin of error when it comes to safety. The volatile and hazardous gasses used in production requires great caution in handling and storage. Cylinder cabinets should therefore be utilized at all times. In fact, at no point from delivery through purging should a cylinder ever leave a cabinet. [...]

As a technology in the production of semiconductors, gas cabinets have allowed manufacturers to produce smaller, higher-quality chips more quickly, safely, and efficiently. This all translates into better technology for consumers, as the materials and chips that power solar panels, mobile devices, computers and more became cheaper for manufacturers to produce. But gas cabinets are [...]

One of the most crucial processes in the manufacturing of semiconductor technologies is the dispensation of various hazardous and volatile gasses. As technologies have advanced to require new methods of manufacturing, so have the tools of the trade. Automatic gas cabinets revolutionized operating efficiency and safety by combining gas storage, gas panels, and software to [...]

Much of this blog has extolled the virtues of the modern-day gas cabinet. But the gas cabinet itself is little more than a locker on steroids: added security and safety features ensure that the gas within is well-guarded and well-monitored. The real brawn behind the operations of today’s gas cabinets are the gas panels that [...]
