Questions:

We are thinking of purchasing a subharmonic weld conditioner from Meta-Lax. The machine hooks up to your weldment and basically looks at the resonance frequencies (they change while you weld). The computer analyzes the signal and adjusts the "vibrations" to "stress relieve while you weld."

Does anyone use the Meta-Lax weld conditioning set-up or the equivalent?

Does anyone know of any information that explains the technology? Google doesn't yield much.

What type of test would one run to verify the amount of stress relief?

jzanter-

That is fantastic - you are the only one I have found who is currently using this system.

I would really like to contact you to talk about this.

Would this be OK?
