Weld overlay cladding specialist Arc Energy Resources has invested £500,000 in two new Rotating Head welding machines to increase productivity and extend the size and scope of work the company can handle. This follows success in winning several new contracts, prompting a review of the company’s capacity to handle orders for cladding large and/or complex components.

While workstations currently move components around a fixed welding torch, the new machines use automated controls to manipulate the welding torch around a fixed component, accurately positioning it to apply the overlay while working close to the component’s footprint. The machines are capable of handling components that would normally be considered difficult to weld clad. The investment expands and enhances Arc Energy’s ability to handle complicated component geometries for the full or partial cladding and fabrication of a huge range of component sizes weighing anywhere up to 15 tonnes.
