“Sudden Service” on Resistance Welders and Controls
ADVERTORIAL
With so many metalforming companies operating on a just-in-time basis with their customers, a resistance- welder breakdown can trigger missed deliveries and substantial penalties. So, when a breakdown occurs and time is of the essence, it’s important to know who to call for help.
T. J. Snow Company is unique among resistance-welder manufacturers because it has a service department on call to troubleshoot and repair most brands of resistance-weld- ing machines and controls. While some manufacturers will only work on their brand,T. J. Snow will tackle almost any type of machine. And, its inventory of new and used spare parts often can save the day. One of T. J. Snow’s experi- enced service techs can usually respond to a welder break- down quickly (two speedy corporate planes are available), and the company’s expertise and dedication to customer support is plainly superior.
