ARC-05HVTe Horizontal, Vertical, and Tilt Cladding System

With 6500lb capacity, the ARC-05HVTe is an automated system that has the capability to weld in the horizontal and vertical position, or and any angle between the 0 and 90 degree positions on the ID and OD of cylindrical parts. The ability to position part improves bead shape, weld chemistry and improves overall ease of operation and usability of welding process at high deposition. Two more hot wire T.I.G. machines with load capacities of 15,00lbs 70” of vertical welding height and 70” diameter.

Stress Relieve Furnaces

Our largest oven has a operational size of 122" long X 69" wide and 53" high. Smaller pipes can be feed through an access door making almost any length doable. Our two smaller ovens can both handle a maximum load size of 66"long X 66" wide X 53" high.
