If you’re buying a power source for construction & fabrication, heavy equipment, shipbuilding, or field welding, you’re putting it to work under harsh conditions. In the reliability lab, the XMT® 400 ArcReach is cycled constantly under extreme loads for months—the goal is failure. The problem is, it just won’t. XMT 400 ArcReach keeps running out the clock—chasing nearly 65,000 hours in the lab. It just refuses to quit.
What you'll see:
How life tests run “until failure” in the reliability lab
What “extreme loads” and constant cycling look like over months of testing
Why the lab tries to make newly designed machines fail before customers ever see them
What it means when a machine won’t quit—nearly 65,000 hours and still going
How reliability testing helps identify and resolve issues early
Who it's for: This is for welding leaders and technical decision-makers who care about uptime and want proof that a power source can hold up under extreme loads and constant cycling before it ever reaches the field or shop floor.
