Best Welder Reach

The best welder in the workshop.

Reach: mobile welding boom

Reach is a versatile, easily moved welding boom for mechanised welding of straight and rotating workpieces. It is suitable for MIG/MAG, TIG and plasma welding.

 

Reach can be used for straight longitudinal welds, or together with a welding positioner and welding rotators. With welding rotators you can weld long pipes, tanks and other cylindrical workpieces, for example.
Fast, precise positioning
The boom and torch are brought close to the weld with fast manual quick-release movements. Precise positioning and movements during welding are made with the remote control in all three directions: X, Y and Z.

Standard equipment

  • Motorised longitudinal travel
  • Infinitely adjustable welding travel speed
  • Travel speed display in mm/min
  • 150 mm electric up/down movement
  • 150 mm electric left/right movement
  • Remote control of X, Y and Z movements
  • Fast manual quick-release movements
  • Wheeled base, easy to move by hand
  • Adjustable torch mount

Working range

  • Total longitudinal reach: 2,550 mm (2,950 mm)
  • Motorised travel length: 2,190 mm (2,590 mm)
  • Maximum height of the horizontal boom underside: 2,900 mm
  • Electric vertical fine adjustment: 150 mm
  • Electric lateral fine adjustment: 150 mm

Accessories

  • AVC height tracking
  • Two-axis tactile seam tracking
  • Torch oscillation
  • PipeMaster control panel
  • Welding positioner or welding rotators
  • Application-specific torch holders

Tactile seam tracking follows the joint mechanically and steers the torch both left/right and up/down. AVC adjusts the torch height based on the arc voltage.

Oscillation produces a programmed side-to-side weaving motion during welding. Oscillation width, speed and edge dwell times can be adjusted to suit the application.

PipeMaster control panel as an option

Reach can be fitted with the same control panel as PipeMaster. The panel controls the welding boom movements, the rotator and the EWM welding machine as a single system.

Settings can be saved as named recipes for similar jobs in the future. The control system requires a compatible rotator and EWM welding machine.

The machine is a clear benefit in production. There are practically no comparable products on the market. The quick-release movements speed up positioning, because the boom can be released and moved by hand. A good machine!
