The reason for introducing the UP-10D

The machine they had been using previously was the UP-8S, the predecessor to the UP-10D. Due to its aging, they considered purchasing a new welding machine and gathered information online, but after considering the price and intended use, they found it difficult to find a model that met their requirements. Furthermore, many sign manufacturers in the area had already installed the UP-10D, so they ultimately felt this was the machine for them and purchased it.

The key specification requirement for the selection was whether it was possible to weld on diagonal or narrow parts. Letter signs often have irregular shapes, so a model with a flexible gun would be easier to use. Also, the design that makes it easy to weld on the edges of box-shaped structures was a major deciding factor in terms of workability.

Box-shaped objects and curved parts of letters can be strengthened by welding with a gun that is easy to operate.

Benefits of Introducing the UP-10D

①It is easy to operate and has become an essential tool for making signboards with letters.
②The work procedures are simple, so even new employees can quickly master them.

The UP-10D is used to make letter signs. It can spot weld two steel plates from one side, allowing for quick and easy welding in places that are difficult to reach with double-sided spot welding. It can also neatly finish thin plates that are prone to distortion with semi-automatic welding, and a major advantage is that the weld strength is not compromised even with plated galvanized steel plates.

The operation is simple and easy to use, so even new employees can use it immediately after training, which has been well received.

For these reasons, the UP-10D is an irreplaceable and essential machine for production.

Welding in progress

One unit will be installed in 2024, and another in 2025. During busy periods, they may use it all day.
