  1. WichiTech Products Are Used By Many Industries!

    Comments Off on WichiTech Products Are Used By Many Industries!

    A truly practical product can be used across a variety of fields with great results. From marine applications to automotive production and repair to wind energy industries, Wichitech testing and repair products are regularly used, with resounding success across many industries.

    WichiTech Products Weld-X Spot Welder

    Thermocouple materials such as platinum and tungsten need a welder with specific tolerances and may often need to be attached to alloys such as aluminum and titanium. The wind energy industry is one field that needs a product like the Weld-X Spot Welder that can work with the specific lightweight materials the industry uses. In the wind energy industry, weight equals resistance, which can mean a loss of efficiency if the correct materials are not used.

    Composite Repair Systems

    Lighter, stronger, and more corrosion-resistant than the standards WichiTech Products k1585317-our-cust-pagesuch as steel and aluminum, composite materials that combine a high-performance fiber in a matrix material are becoming exceedingly popular in automotive manufacturing, as well as marine uses such as on off-shore oil rigs, submarines and submersibles. Many of the naval vessels of the future will utilize a great deal of composite materials, creating a lighter, faster, yet more durable and damage-resistant vessel. Repairing these systems requires advanced hot bonding systems, and our HB-1 and HB-2 Composite Repair Systems will do the job.

    RD3 Electronic Digital Tap Hammer

    Of course, before you can make repairs, you need to be able to find where the damage is. Whether you’re suspended out on tWichiTech Products wind-turbine- our-cust- pagehe blade of a turbine on a wind farm, working in the busy engine room of a boat, or in a crammed automotive shop, you need a portable testing unit. Our tap hammer is lightweight and reliable, meaning that you can tote it to the furthest reaches of the wind farm or deep into the bowels of dock infrastructures.

    Composite materials are poised to be a major part of industries and infrastructure well into the future. While they certainly have distinct advantages over standard materials, they are not infallible and will need testing and repairs over time. At Wichitech, we are ready to help you with your composite repair needs, whether you work in the marine, automotive, or wind energy industries or any other industries that are beginning to fall in love with the usefulness of composites.

  2. National Safety Month

    Comments Off on National Safety Month

    National Safety Month 2016

    Each year in June, the National Safety Council promotes National Safety Month. The goal of this event is to highlight the leading causes of injuries and death at work, on the roads, or even in our homes and communities. Many times these injuries and deaths can be avoided if the proper safety regulations or strategies are in place.

    National Safety Month 2016

    While promoting National Safety Month, the NSC makes available resources and promotional materials to help people understand the importance of safety. Areas covered by these materials include:

    • Compliance Training
    • Driver Safety
    • First Aid Training
    • Fleet and Specialty Vehicle Training
    • Workplace Safety

    Even though June is National Safety Month, it is important year round to make sure safety is a priority. In the workplace it is a good idea to routinely have meetings to go over safety policies and procedures, as well as holding regular safety training courses to ensure all employees are properly trained.

    At WichiTech Industries, Inc. we understand the importance of safety, and offer products that are important to ensure safety. Our hot bonder, portable composite repair system, is a great tool to repair metal, Kevlar, carbon, boron and fiberglass simply and safely. We also offer a thermocouple welder which can easily fuse all standard thermocouple materials, including platinum and tungsten. By using these products to make regular repairs and perform maintenance, larger accidents that could be dangerous can be avoided.

    Thermocouple Spot Welder

    If you’re looking for an accurate, efficient and portable wire welding unit, look no further than the Weld-X Thermocouple Spot Welder. Made for spot welding and welding repairs, the high arc temperatures generated by the Weld-X can easily fuse all standard thermocouple materials. The Weld-X’s straightforward and uncomplicated setup allow for anyone to quickly be adept at using it.

    The Weld-X has many advantages and features that make it an excellent choice for your spot welding and welding repair needs. Installation of it does not require skilled operators or prepared surfaces, and its size and weight make it one of the most conveniently sized units available in the market. It contains a rechargeable battery and integral charger which allows for numerous welds to be made without the need to connect to any outside power sources. Operation can also be powered from AC line voltage as well.

    All standard thermocouple materials including platinum and tungsten can be easily fused by the Weld-X. The strongest welded surface connections are usually made by ferrous materials, but very suitable direct attachments can also be made to aluminum, titanium, copper, and other alloys. Field, shop and lab use are some of the most relevant areas where the Weld-X is useful. The size, portability and ease of use make it a great tool in these environments.

    WichiTech Industries, Inc. designs and manufactures simple, safe, reliable and value packed composite repair systems. We offer an assortment of products on our website for a variety of industries. Be sure to connect with us on Twitter and LinkedIn for all company news and information.

  4. Student Training Kits

    Student Training Kits

    At WichiTech, we offer student training kits, which provide power and vacuum for four repair training stations. We have three different types of student training kits:

    1. Kits with vacuum inputs and RD-3 tap hammer,
    2. Kits with only vacuum inputs, and
    3. Kits without vacuum inputs.

    Each kit allows you to operate four different training repair stations off of one bonder. In other words, instead of purchasing four separate bonders, you’re able to operate four stations using the kit, which will save you money.

    With the student training kit, each student will have his or her own blanket and will be able to program off of one bonder. We offer training in training composites, and we sell these kits to technical colleges and universities. We have separate training institutions that buy them in training composites and any kind of private training institution. When training in composite repairs, you use a bonder and apply the heat to the repair. Ordinarily, you would use one bonder per repair, but now, training institutions can buy only one bonder that can operate up to four stations as opposed to just one.

    The alternative way to do this would be to purchase four bonders, since they are necessary to perform certain repairs. Normally, when this equipment is manufactured, it’s manufactured in an oven, which, of course, is a very large appliance, and then these pieces are all assembled. When they’re repaired, you can stick an aircraft back in an oven, and all you have to do is what we call a “spot repair” to the aircraft.

    We’ve received a lot of positive feedback from technical schools about our student training kits. Schools are very budget conscious, and lately with the advent of using more composites on aircrafts and even things like cars that are starting to use composites, more people will need to be trained to repair these materials. With the right training, a sheet metal mechanic will be able to do composite repairs. Having those combined skills of sheet metal work and composite training will be valuable in the years to come.
