Column and Boom Welding Manipulators & Structural Steel Beam Welding Gantry Systems: MIG, Subarc & CMT

LJ engineers and manufactures column and boom manipulators with weld boom stiffness and welding head stability, operator controls, and ease of use as key driving factors. Automatic welding heads (typically submerged arc) are designed to be mounted on a stiff and nearly vibrationless boom, and moved to desired height with powered column. The welding head can then be positioned as required for automated welding of large vessels or other workpieces.
