The ARC-05XP handles bore cladding and weld overlay on your largest components in a single repeatable pass — no re-fixturing, no operator babysitting the arc between segments. It applies corrosion-resistant overlay (CRO) alloys with the same positional control you’d expect on a small part, just at scale.
Many cladding applications do not require a massive system footprint. Discover how the ARC-05PL delivers high-precision GTAW automated overlays in a space-conscious package designed for day-to-day manufacturing.
In the challenging landscape of automated bore cladding, no two components are identical. Discover why a family of specialized systems is the only viable path to optimizing production efficiency.

At ARC Specialties we believe it’s important to share with those around us. That’s the purpose of our monthly First Friday event. It’s an opportunity to join us and share SMILES, KNOWLEDGE, FOOD, & MORE.
In this episode of The Roboticist Chronicles, Chris Tomlinson, columnist for the Houston Chronicle, stops by H.A.T. Studio to discuss journalism on this installment of Dan’s Business Secrets.
I have worked in manufacturing in Houston, Texas for the last 43 years. I can pick up the phone and get advice, equipment, and referrals if I’m ever in a jam. This cooperation is present even among competitors here in Houston. I love this country!
I have benefited from this open, supportive attitude for my entire career. So I always agree to host tours of ARC Specialties to show others how Dave Hebble conducts research in our lab. William Saxton and the other engineers design our machines. How John Tovar and the machinists make the parts. How Esteban Vazquez and the welders fabricate the machines. How Joe Lopez and the technicians assemble these machines. How Kevin Sevcik and the programmers write the code. And finally, how Nicholas Augustine, John Martin, and the other project managers put it all together.
Yesterday, the Greater Houston Manufacturers Association visited ARC Specialties for lunch and a facility tour. They saw robots working on drill ships, sand screen machines that make 100 welds per second, a mobile welding robot that goes and finds work, ultrasonic inspection robots, and additive manufacturing printing 50 pounds of steel per hour!
If you would like a tour, please contact me.
ARC Specialties thrives on problems. Send us yours.

In this episode of The Roboticist Chronicles, Barrett J. Gibson, of Colliers-International, stops by H.A.T. Studio to discuss the purchasing of commercial real estate on this installment of Dan’s Business Secrets.
In this episode of The Roboticist Chronicles, we take a trip to downtown Houston where we visit John S. Egbert of Egbert, McDaniel & Swartz to discuss the subject of patent law.
ARC Specialties hosts our First Friday Lunch the first Friday of the month, and if you are in town with extend an invitation to drop by and visit. This month’s event was lead with a presentation from one our programmers, Zachary Freeman, on our 7-axis GTA hot wire cladding system, ARC-5 Infinity.
