The Wel-Handy Multi Next redefines the industry standard of portable welding automation by merging lightweight design with rugged durability, all while eliminating the need of setting up cumbersome and time-consuming tracks or rails, making for a perfect companion to work in extremely confined spaces and on inclined surfaces. This innovative trackless fillet welding carriage thrives even in the most challenging environments, standing as the premier choice for shipyards, airfields, and pipelines by enabling seamless execution of multiple welding processes, including intricate fillet welds, with the precision and consistency to that of robotic welding. The Wel-Handy Multi Next's advanced digital controls and programmable features offer greater precision and customization for complex welding tasks, including fillet, butt, stitch, vertical, horizontal, overhead, contour, dual-pass, overhang, and sub-arc (with use of compatible sub-arc kit or large torch holder). These welding processes stand out for being particularly useful in shipbuilding, where precise welds are crucial for structural integrity.
