A “Column & Boom” Welding system consists of a base, a vertical column or boom, and a horizontal boom. The base of the column & boom provides stability and support for the rest of the machine, while the vertical column or boom extends upwards to support the horizontal boom. The horizontal boom can be adjusted to position the welding torch at the desired location.

When welding, column & boom can be very helpful in increasing the efficiency, precision, and safety of the welding process. They are commonly used in industries like shipbuilding, heavy machinery, and pipelines. They can also be used to weld in hard-to-reach places, or in situations where it would be unsafe or impractical for a human welder to work.

Each PEMA welding column & boom is designed in-house and manufactured with high-quality components at our factory in Loimaa, Finland. The powerful efficiency of PEMA welding manipulators is based on the innovative integration with PEMA handling equipment. Every PEMA Column & booms product is controlled with either PEMA WeldControl 100 – or WeldControl 500 -control system. These unique systems have all the necessary controls like welding process, control of columns & booms, and control of roller beds, in just one panel. They also have a welding parameter library (WPS), production data register, and remote access through which PEMA Service support has direct access to the customer’s site.

Thanks to their modular construction, PEMA Column & booms are easy to adapt for all the needs that the customer’s welding work may require, depending on the welding process in question, used material and the geometry of manufactured products. Possible processes for PEMA column & boom welding manipulators include:

• TIG
• GMAW
• SAW (single, twin, tandem, and multi-arc)
• Cladding with wire or strip
