APEX 2100 Orbital Controller System
The APEX® 2100 Controller is a fully integrated and synchronized system for controlling mechanical oscillation, torch height control (AVC) and wire and gas delivery. With the weld data delivered between the control and pendant instantly, the operator has immediate access to monitor, adjust and control weld parameters throughout the welding process. Simple menus for operation and intuitive controls allow the user to easily operate the system and produce consistent welds for a wide range of applications. The controller is designed to be quickly serviced in a production environment and to withstand harsh environmental factors.

Torchmate CNC Cutting System
The Torchmate® product line of automated plasma cutting tables encompasses a broad scope of machines: from our entry-level CNC machines—the Torchmate Growth Series™, to our industrial plasma cutting table—the TMX Pro, and everything in between. The bolt-together CNC kits use durable extruded aluminum framing to fit larger metal sheet sizes, resulting in increased metal part production. The Torchmate X table brings the weight and durability of a 5,800+ pound fabricated mild steel water table to fabrication shops that are ready for a commitment to in-house manufacturing. International businesses can capitalize on the low cost shipping of our gantry-kits, giving them the power to customize the dimensional length of their CNC machine.
Businesses rooted in agriculture, industrial manufacturing, architecture, and a host of other industries can all benefit from the value and profitability of a Torchmate branded CNC cutting table.

Robotic Welding System
If the welding industry has anything to learn from the past decade, it is that the stakes of doing business have permanently been raised. The 1990's were characterized by an enhanced emphasis on quality, reducing costs to compete in a global market, optimizing floor space for maximum output, training and maintaining a skilled workforce. As a result, the major question for the new millennium is not if any particular metal fabricator will adopt robotic welding technology, but rather when and how. Automation will be a matter of survival, not only for large shops creating a high volume of pieces, but for the small fabricator, for whom the ability to raise productivity while reducing costs will determine the actual viability of his business.

Virtual Welders
At the start of their arc welding training, students spend time practicing on one of the college’s VRTEX® 360 Virtual Reality Arc Welding Trainers from The Lincoln Electric Company. The VRTEX® is a computer-based training system that allows students to practice their welding technique in a simulated environment – all while reducing the material waste, scrap and energy consumption associated with traditional welding training.
