Applications and Experiments for the SMAW Welding Machine
The machine is used to teach manual metal arc welding from the first arc strike to finished joints. It suits practical sessions in the ITI Welder trade, diploma and B.Tech workshop practice, and TVET welding and fabrication modules, where trainees weld mild steel plate and pipe under an instructor.
- ITI Welder trade: striking and maintaining an arc, running straight beads and making butt and fillet joints.
- Diploma and B.Tech workshop practice: the arc welding exercise in manufacturing processes courses.
- TVET welding and fabrication modules: stick welding of plate in flat, horizontal and vertical positions, and of pipe lined up in a Pipe Welding Clamp.
Have a qualified electrician connect the 440 V three-phase input. Arc welding gives off ultraviolet light, spatter and fumes, so trainees should weld only under supervision in a ventilated bay, with a shield, gloves and a Leather Welding Jacket, and chip slag wearing Grinding Goggles.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Shielded Metal ARC Welding Machine is supplied as a single unit as described above; any optional accessories are listed on the quotation. Electrodes are a consumable and are quoted separately. If you need welding cables, an electrode holder or an earth clamp, list them on your enquiry and the quotation will show what is offered.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can ask for a quotation for one machine or for every bay of a welding workshop, and each quotation from Science Lab Supplies states the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Protective gear from this range can go on the same TVET workshop equipment quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Welding instructors can request the SMAW machine on the contact page or enquiry cart; tenders go via the lab tender page.
