Like all manufacturers, fabricators know that they must change when the marketplace requires it. Some of them even welcome the chance to do different things, or at least do them differently. One such fabricator is Last Arrow Manufacturing (LAM), based in Orrville, OH.
For more than a decade, LAM only offered manual welding as a complement to its core competencies of CNC machining, laser cutting and metal forming. That all changed last year when president and co-founder Matt Bowling realized that the company needed an automated welding robot to handle simple and repetitive tasks, so its skilled welders were available to tackle jobs that required more expertise.
