If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Or in this case, if your products can’t withstand the heat, step aside as this is where Bishop-Wisecarver excels. Just ask our long-time customer, Mavrix Welding Automation of Wisconsin. Mavrix designs and builds standard and custom machines for special purpose welding and fabrication. Their customers include agriculture, oil & gas, recycling, and steel manufacturing industries that need robust and durable machines built to last.
These competitor products fail to perform to the same levels as DualVee®, and their product limitations not only hinder machine reliability, but also increase the total cost of ownership (TCO) for customers.
There are more adjectives to describe Bishop-Wisecarver’s DualVee Guide Wheel technology, but you get the point. The patented vee guide wheels were designed by founder Bud Wisecarver in 1968 and the company’s signature product has been helping customers with quiet, low friction motion in even the most extreme conditions for more than 50 years.
Applications in harsh and contaminated environments often exhibit low durability or premature failure which require frequent service or replacement. Either option means additional time and money spent, and often, a loss of revenue for machinery down time during the process. It causes multiple challenges for busy companies, which is why Bishop-Wisecarver has focused on manufacturing linear motion products that can withstand these extreme environments.

Not many people can track one of their most famous inventions to watching a football game, but Bud Wisecarver is clearly not like most people.
