Built For Automation: Robotic Cooperation

Whether you are deploying standard industrial robots or collaborative cobots, the APT Forge Pulse Series is engineered to operate in perfect harmony with automated arms, ensuring high-speed data exchange and flawless execution.

Seamless Network Integration
Gone are the days of complex, proprietary setups. The Forge Pulse Series features a next-generation communication interface that plugs directly into high-density industrial networks via standard Ethernet. By communicating natively with your central PLC or robot controller, the machine allows for real-time monitoring, instant parameter adjustments, and absolute process control.

Supported Automation Protocols
To ensure a frictionless integration into your existing workplace, the Forge Pulse interface natively supports the industry’s leading industrial communication programs:

  • EtherNet/IP & ProfiNet: For high-speed, deterministic data exchange with mainstream industrial PLCs.
  • Modbus TCP: For versatile, open-architecture networking across diverse factory layouts.
  • EtherCAT: For ultra-low latency, real-time synchronization required in high-precision, high-speed robotic paths.

Additional Features

Built from the ground up for rugged industrial environments, our premium hardware additions provide the mechanical reliability, component protection, and ergonomic support needed to handle demanding production schedules with ease.

APT FP4 Wire Feeder

Fitted to the FP 400 and FP 500 Machines, the APT FP4 Wire Feeder Unit is a heavy-duty, separate wire feeding powerhouse, engineered for demanding industrial fabrication environments. Featuring a robust 4-roll wire drive assembly that ensures positive, slip-free feeding and perfect consistency even when utilising extended interconnecting cable packages. Optimised for advanced digital synchronisation, effortlessly communicating with the main power source to manage the ultra-high-speed 25,000 pulses-per-second wire control loop, facilitating advanced processes like Deep, Root, and Twin-Pulse with flawless arc stability.

APT Water Cooler Unit

Parweld APT FP500

High-Performance, modular cooling system engineered specifically as an option for the Forge Pulse FP 353, FP 400 and FP500 power source models. Designed to handle the extreme thermal demands of high-amperage spray transfer and prolonged pulse welding, the unit delivers consistent torch cooling to protect consumables and maintain arc stability during heavy-duty production cycles.
For maximum efficiency, rather than running continuously at full capacity, the power source actively monitors internal temperatures and torch usage to cycle the water cooler's pump and fan only when required.

APT Trolley Assembly

Parweld APT FP353C

The heavy-duty workshop trolley, fitted as standard to the FP 353, FP 400 and FP 500 models, is engineered to turn these industrial power sources into highly mobile, self-contained welding stations. Built to withstand the harsh environments of busy fabrication shops and manufacturing facilities, the trolley features a rugged, reinforced steel chassis that easily supports the combined weight of the power source, an optional water cooling unit, and a full wire feeder package.
