From concept to reality, the PIPEFAB™ welding system was developed for one purpose – to deliver the ideal setup for pipe and vessel fabrication. From machine design to arc performance, no detail was overlooked in delivering a complete, customer-driven system that lets your shop focus on what matters most – making high-quality root-to-cap welds, faster and easier.
Our patented STT® (Surface Tension Transfer®) process was the original open-root MIG (modified short-circuit) solution to hit the market. After decades of leading the industry, we’ve taken the performance of this iconic process to the next level – making it better than ever.
Breakthrough travel speeds.
Industry-leading arc stability.
No sense lead.
Smart Pulse™ - Pulse Tailored For Pipe
Smart Pulse™ delivers an innovative solution for pulse welding simplicity and performance. Utilizing Waveform Control Technology®, Smart Pulse™ monitors your machine settings and automatically tailors the pulse to deliver the ideal arc for your pipe welding needs.
Set a low WFS for out-of-position pipe welding – Smart Pulse™ auto-adjusts for a narrow, focused arc.
Set a high WFS for 1G pipe welding – Smart Pulse™ auto-adjusts for a wide, soft arc.
Less time adjusting means more time welding.
