Fusion Welding Training Class

We will train you on-site or in our facility.


Arc Machines, Inc. has extensive experience in the training of welding personnel worldwide. Training classes are conducted at the customers' location or at our training facility at AMI headquarters located in Pacoima, California.

Our customers have enjoyed considerable success and profit in the use of our automatic orbital welding equipment. The training is designed to give the welding operator the knowledge, experience and skills that must be used in today's high-technology industries such as: Semiconductor, Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Aerospace, Nuclear, Power Generation, Food and Dairy, Brewery, Industrial, General Contractors and other critical industries.

It has been our experience that when welding problems arise, they can often be traced to operation of the equipment by untrained personnel. In order to prevent this occurrence, we strongly recommend to our customers that they receive factory-provided training.
