Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) is a welding method developed in the early 1900s, known for its safety and consistency. In an automated SAW process, a CNC program rotates the part at a specific speed while controlling the heat and speed of the weld to ensure quality and consistency. This allows large amounts of metal to be deposited quickly, making it suitable for welding heavy equipment.

SAW offers advantages in productivity, efficiency, and operator comfort across various industries. It is particularly beneficial for the rail industry due to its capacity for large-scale welding. The high deposition rate achievable with SAW significantly impacts productivity and efficiency. The process is typically automated, ensuring consistent quality welds while providing operator comfort and safety due to low fumes and no open arc.

At Allis Roller, computerized equipment operated by skilled technicians is used extensively in machining and manufacturing processes, including SAW. "Allis Roller’s engineers are experts at innovating and upgrading SAW methods for the benefit of our customers," states the company. Each project is reviewed carefully to select the best machines for accurate and cost-efficient production.

The company emphasizes that "the quality of our welding work at Allis Roller speaks for itself," which has led manufacturers to rely on their services consistently. SAW is one among many capabilities offered by Allis Roller.
