Show assumptions & calculation
- Electrodes/year = welders × electrodes/day × working days
- Manual grinding time: 96 sec./electrode double-sided or 48 sec./electrode single-sided (from field measurements, single-sided taken as half the value from experience)
- XGrind time required = electrodes/year × 12 sec. loading/unloading time (the grinding process itself runs automatically without tying up staff — independent of single- or double-sided grinding)
- Saving = hours freed up × hourly cost
All values in this calculation are deliberately conservative — the benefits below come on top and are not included here.
All figures are guide values based on our practical time measurements and serve as a first orientation. Individual results may vary depending on the operation.
Further benefits — deliberately not included in the calculation
- ✓Only 1 operator needed — all other welders are completely freed from grinding work
- ✓Reproducible grinding angle for a more stable arc
- ✓Less rework on the weld seam
- ✓Lower electrode consumption thanks to defined material removal
- ✓Reduced dust exposure for your staff
- ✓Automatic grinding wheel feed — no manual readjustment
