Miller Electric is an arc welding and cutting equipment manufacturing company based in Appleton, WI. Miller Electric has grown from a one-man operation selling products in Northeast Wisconsin, to what is today one of the world's largest manufacturers of arc welding and cutting equipment.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allbusiness.com/manufacturing/miscellaneous-manufacturing/215489-1.html )〕 == Overview == In 1929,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.allbusiness.com/manufacturing/machinery-equipment-manufacturing-general/6235800-1.html )〕 Niels Miller designed a small arc welder for "stick welding" that could operate on the electricity supplies available in rural Wisconsin that was lighter and less expensive than the DC rotary units previously available. The first machine was built from recycled scrap steel and coil windings in his basement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.millerwelds.com/about/companyinfo.html )〕 In 1935, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. was incorporated. Al Mulder, Miller's sole engineer, invented the world's first high frequency-stabilized AC industrial welder, making AC welding practical for use in factories and construction. Miller Electric developed the Millermatic in 1971, combining the previously separate units of power source and wire feed into one unit, bringing MIG welding within reach of a wider market. In 1993, following the death of the company's heir, Miller Electric was purchased by Illinois Tool Works (ITW), a multi-national company based in Chicago. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miller Electric」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
