Operators can combine the APEX 30M with a HELIX® M85 orbital weld head and a Power Wave® S series welder or Vantage®/ Air Vantage® ArcLink® enabled engine driven welder/generator to create a completely versatile solution. On the job, this compact unit eliminates additional equipment, such as cranes, fixtures and platforms and simplifies cable management for easy portability. And, it requires minimal setup. “The APEX 30M mechanized controller, designed with the operator in mind, can be located up to 100 feet from the welding power source allowing the operator to focus on the weld, not the equipment,” states Carlos Richmond, Product Manager of Mechanized Automation. “The new system offers portability and versatility of use and greater efficiency for achieving superior orbital MIG welds.” 7 WN November 2016
