As far as welding tasks are concerned, the right equipment decides the outcome of the project. For welding works that require precision and clean welds, TIG welding is the most chosen method. Although purchasing is the preferred method to access the best machines, not all projects need such a long-term commitment.

 In such instances, renting becomes the most preferred choice. This blog discusses the key advantages of renting a TIG welding machine and how it benefits businesses. 

How TIG Welding Works

TIG welding is a fabrication process used to create strong and precise welds. The two non-consumable electrodes generate an electric arc that melts the base metal. Whether the current is DC or AC depends on the metal that is being welded. Since TIG welding is sensitive to contamination, an inert gas shielding is used to protect the weld area. 

Compatible with a wide range of metals such as aluminum, stainless steel, nickel alloys and other thin materials, TIG welding is the most preferred welding process across industries such as automotive, medical, food and pharmaceutical, nuclear and architecture. 

Advantages of Renting TIG Welding Machine

  • Cost-effective Solution

One of the prime advantages of renting a TIG welding machine is that businesses will get access to advanced welding machines without any upfront cost. For businesses that require welding machines for intermittent welding needs or short-term projects, renting TIG welding machines will reduce the overall operational cost. They just need to pay the rent and needn’t bother about maintenance and repair, as it will be taken care of by the suppliers. 

  • Convenience

Renting a TIG welding machine gives operators the convenience of using the latest machine with ease. Since it’s renting, they needn’t bother about long-term storage or maintenance, as discussed earlier. With the right supplier by your side, things will be a lot easier. 

  • Access to High-quality  Machinery

By renting, you get access to advanced welding machines available on the market without a high upfront cost. This way businesses can use the latest and high-performing equipment to get high-quality welds without having to manage or maintain the equipment.    

  • No Downtime Risk

Renting a welding machine comes with the added benefit of the suppliers taking care of the repairs, maintenance, calibration and breakdowns. This ensures that the machine is in good shape and delivers consistent results all the time. 

Conclusion

Buying and renting are two distinctive approaches, each serving a different purpose. Although we have so far discussed the advantages of renting, in reality, there is no single best option. One is not above the other. It entirely depends on the project and various other operational needs. When it comes to continuous and long-term projects, purchase is the best option. But for short-term and project-based welding needs, buying a machine is the right choice.  

By choosing to rent, businesses opt for flexible and cost-effective access to advanced TIG welding machines. At RedRock Automation, we ensure that you get the best welding machines that will deliver high-quality welds throughout the work cycle. Whether it’s purchase or rent, we will help you choose the best machines tailored to your project requirements.
