ARC Specialties always strives to break new ground in technology. Below are some of ARC Specialties' newest technologies.
ARC integrates Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in every 3D design of an ARC machine.
FEA visualizations ensure proper design by eliminating unnecessary costs and weight in a machine,
while maximizing the structural strength of each of the machine’s components. Using FEA methods,
ARC’s mechanical design team can simulate torque, stress, and strain to verify how they are distributed
amongst a part.
ARC’s FEA capability is the latest example of ARC’s dedication to designing and building
robust automated systems.

Allows fabricators to cut openings to fit imperfect tubes & structural shapes.
Cut-to-FitTM Technology uses Robotic Through-the-
Torch Sensing to measure the geometry of any
imperfect tube or structural shape. The system then
automatically generates and verifies a modified torch
path to fit the measured geometry.
Within just a few minutes the robot can cut a custom
fitted opening in a base plate with a plasma torch,
switch to a pulsed GMAW torch at a tool changing
station, then perform a full penetration, two-sided
weld custom fitted to the geometry of the structural
shape.
Oxygen assisted cutting immediately provides an
optimum “ready to weld” surface. Through-the-Arc
TrackingTM allows the torch to manipulate the weld
groove to follow an inconsistent centerline. Adaptive
Fill compensates for groove width variation.
Cut-to-FitTM Technology creates perfect welds on less
than perfect, “real world” parts!

Tri-PulseTM is a specially designed waveform and the
latest technology in pulsed power. Developed by ARC
Specialties and made possible by Lincoln Electric’s
innovative Power Wave STT, Tri-PulseTM is one of the
major keys to KLADARC’s revolutionary cladding
capability. Good things happen when welding experts
partner up!

Simple real-time acquisition & analysis of complex weld process variables.
Total Process Analyzer (TPA) connects to any automated welding system to provide real-time
evaluations and data logging for all welding parameters. TPA combines the in depth analysis of an oscilloscope
with the ease of Windows-based software, and the accuracy of modern digital signal analysis. TPA is a “must have”
package that is perfect for calibration, certification, and data logging often required by critical projects. TPA
also calculates true RMS values for all parameters plus deposition rate and heat input.

The ideal solution for crude oil storage tank facilities. Vapor Recovery Analysis
offers a quick, detailed analysis of vapor emissions from storage tanks.
Vapor Recovery Analysis service offers a “Win-Win” scenario by verifying EPA compliance
if emissions are low or determining the feasibility of a Vapor Recovery Unit (VRU) if emissions are high.
Vapor flow has proven difficult to measure by current systems, and most systems including the EPA
software are not accurate for low pressure storage tanks. ARC’s Vapor Recovery Analysis service is the first to accurately
log temperature in addition to vapor flow, providing an accurate analysis for storage tanks with low pressure levels.
