Lincoln Apex 30M
Apex 30M mechanized controller is shown with a Helix M85 weld head and Power Wave S500.
The trademarked Apex 30M mechanized controller for orbital welding from Lincoln Electric “offers digital control and wire feeding packaged as a single unit,” says a news release from the manufacturer.
Portable and lightweight, the Apex 30M can be positioned up to 100 feet from the power source “while still giving the operator full system access through the pendant,” the release said.
That allows the operator “to focus on the weld, not the equipment,” the release quoted Carlos Richmond, Lincoln’s product manager of mechanized automation.
The controller is a “versatile solution” for applications in the field and shop. Those applications include power generation, process piping, and construction as well as maritime and structural applications.
“The new system offers portability and versatility of use and greater efficiency for achieving superior orbital MIG welds,” Richmond said.
For example, the Apex 30M can be combined with a trademarked Helix M85 orbital weld head and trademarked Power Wave S series welder.
“On the job, this compact unit eliminates additional equipment, such as cranes, fixtures and platforms and simplifies cable management for easy portability,” the release said of the Apex 30M. “And, it requires minimal setup.
