VertaSlag is a welding process that allows quick and easy welding (FULL PEN) of heavy plates (Stiffeners & Base Plates) using high quality, narrow gap, improved ELECTRO-SLAG welding.
VertaSlag eliminates extensive set-up prior to welding. Each VertaSlag system consists of a "Basic Component Group" and "Welding Fixtures

VERTASLAG WELDING SYSTEM

To date, Arcmatic has the only integrated welding system specifically designed to produce NGI-ESW welds. This newly developed integrated system incorporates tested and qualified welding programs that incorporate all of the variables necessary to make perfect welds. Existing programs can be recalled from the computer’s memory by selecting the thickness of the plate to be welded. Fabricators can develop their own programs and assign a number to the program so that it can easily be recalled when needed. For special applications, Arcmatic can develop custom programs for our customers and transfer these programs to our customer’s computer via modem.

The capability of connecting Arcmatic’s computers to our customer’s computer via modem also allows us to troubleshoot problems from our shop in Vallejo, California. If one of our electrical modules is defective, a replacement module can be shipped via air (overnight), and the defective module can be replaced in a matter of minutes – resulting in a minimum of downtime, without the need for our customers to employ expensive computer technicians. Before any computer-controlled turnkey system leaves our shop, it is thoroughly weld-tested to insure its performance upon arrival at the customer’s destination.
