Lincoln Electric has announced that its new Pantheon mechanised welding system fills the need for automated, repetitive welding operations for submerged and open arc processes in such industries as heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, power generation, construction and pressure vessel manufacturing.

Serving as a step between manual and automated welding, the Pantheon mechanised welding system delivers a standardised solution for mechanised automation by increasing productivity and speed to market.

Available in two sizes, 8’x8’ and 11’x11’, this mechanised welding solution integrates with other automation systems, including ingoing and outgoing material handling, to enhance workflow.

The new system comes in a standard configuration that includes Lincoln Electric’s Power Wave AC/DC 1000 SD Welder, MAXsa Controller and adjusters and slides. This complete solution can be customised through the addition of component parts including seam-tracking systems, welding positioners, jaw chucks, motorised slides, pipe-support stands, turning and idle rolls and other accessories. Key accessories include fume extraction options, flux recovery and a travel car.

US-based Lincoln Electric is the world leader in the design, development and manufacture of arc welding products, robotic arc welding systems and plasma and oxy-fuel cutting equipment. It enjoys a leading global position in the brazing and soldering alloys market.
