Bob White Sr. Receives the Elihu Thomson Award
Congratulations to Bob White Sr.
Winner of the:RWMA - Elihu Thomson Resistance Welding Award 2008
Mr. White established Janda Company in 1960. During that time, nearly a half century, he has designed over 3,000 Special resistance welders for the U.S. Government, aerospace industry, building industry , wire products industry and sheet metal industry. These machines include ammo box lines with quad head seam welders, landing matt multi-heads, missile fin, mesh welders, corner mesh, truss machines, floor panels, elevators, wire baskets, shelves, racks, shopping cart lines, cabinets, drawers, office furniture, TV, dishwasher, and oven chassis's, slot machines, transformer plate welders, seat frames, brake shoe welders, truck frames, concrete cage welders, solar panel welders, dimple welders, fully automated and complete lines including loading stations, welding stations with weld fixtures, unloaders, and automated stacking stations.
The majority of these specials were a first in the industry, and Mr. White designed every aspect of every machine down to the tiniest details, usually in two to three days, complete automated lines in three to four weeks maximum.
Mr. White has designed the largest and most complete line of standard welders, 26 types available. Many of these standards were a first in the industry.
Through out the years, Mr. White has also assisted the United States Government and Aerospace industries in research and development of highly sophisticated, never before accomplished resistance welding processes and equipment to meet the highest Government Mil. Spec. requirements. Mr. White was recently honored with an award from Lockheed Martin for his "dedication and significant contribution to program of Great National Importance."
After dedicating almost 50 years of his life to the processes of resistance welding, Mr. White is known through out the industry as the number one leading authority in the art of resistance welding and is consulted by engineers through out the world (including his competitors) for his knowledge and expertise.
