Light Automation

From manual welding to automated efficiency – engineered to maximize arc time and improve consistency.

Reduce your welding time - boost your productivity

We deliver light automation welding solutions designed to increase productivity, consistency, and weld quality across demanding industrial applications. Our portfolio ranges from orbital pipeline welding systems to wheeled and track‑based welding carriages, providing flexible, fully mechanized solutions for both circumferential and longitudinal weld seams.
 
Optimized for large tanks, beams, frames, and shipyard applications, our systems combine robust mechanized runners for example with flux‑cored wire welding in vertical up position, ensuring high deposition rates and repeatable results – even in challenging welding positions. This approach enables exceptional efficiency and quality and reduces your welding time.
