News: Flexible & Portable Weld Manipulator

IRCO’s PortaWelder™ is a portable Column & Boom Weld Manipulator
designed to bring the weld head to the joint. The wheeled-base supports
a small, self-contained welding system; including power supply, and accessories like water coolers, flux equipment, and gas bottles. A
handlebar allows an operator to easily push the machine around the shop.
The vertical mast and telescoping boom enable precise placement of the
weld head over the weldment.

Multiple Welding Options

The PortaWelder™ is available in a variety of configurations including:

• Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)
• Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)
• Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)

Left to Right Welding Configurations: SAW, GMAW, GTAW

The PortaWelder™ is an economical option when compared to traditional Column and Boom Manipulators. Its ability to adapt to different welding requirements makes the PortaWelder™ a great option for busy
shops where floor space or crane time is at a premium. The PortaWelder™ features added reach & height when compared to other portable
manipulators and can weld pipe up to 8’ in diameter.
