APS Welding designs, manufactures and services the complete welding and cutting chain — from the IGBT inverter power board to the positioner that turns your workpiece. Because every machine is engineered in-house at our Valsad, Gujarat facility, overseas buyers deal directly with the team that built it.
For over two decades we have supplied MIG, TIG, Stick, Submerged Arc, gouging and plasma cutting equipment, plus welding automation, to fabricators in heavy engineering, pressure vessels, shipbuilding, pipelines, power plants and railways. Our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality system covers design, production and final load testing, so the performance you specify is the performance you receive.
Choose by process, material and duty requirement. Every APS power source uses IGBT inverter technology for stable arc control, lower power consumption and a lighter footprint than transformer-based machines.

Explore MIG Machines →Precise heat input for stainless steel, alloy and critical root passes, with full pulse cycle control and programmable job memories.
Explore TIG Machines →Rugged inverter stick welders with easy striking and hot-start, built for construction sites, maintenance crews and cross-country pipelines.
Explore Stick Welders →Deep penetration and very high deposition for thick plate, long seams, pressure vessels, wind towers and beam fabrication.
Explore SAW Machines →One central power source feeding several welders at once — fewer machines on the floor and simpler power distribution in large bays and shipyards.
Explore Multi-Operator →High-current sources for back-gouging, defect removal and joint preparation on heavy sections, keeping repair time to a minimum.
Explore Gouging →Rhino Cut air plasma range from portable 40A units to heavy-duty 200A systems for clean, fast cuts with minimal dross.
Explore Plasma Cutters →Monitor arc-on time, machine utilisation and welding parameters across your fleet to quantify productivity and support quality traceability.
Explore WeldVisor →Four proven platforms that fabricators most often shortlist when replacing imported equipment.
Positioning the workpiece correctly is the fastest way to raise deposition and weld consistency. APS automation is engineered to pair with APS SAW, MIG and TIG sources as a single-vendor package — one supplier, one point of accountability.
Capacities from 50 kg to 10,000 kg with VFD speed control and motorised or hydraulic tilt for flanges, nozzles, vessels and structural parts.
Explore Positioners →Self-aligning and conventional rotators with variable speed and adjustable wheel span for pipes, tanks and pressure vessel shells.
Explore Rotators →Extended-reach booms that carry wire feeders and torches, improving operator ergonomics and freeing floor space in welding bays.
Explore Welding Arms →Automated saddle, branch and bevel cutting on pipe for piping spools, offshore structures and process plant fabrication.
Explore Pipe Cutting →Portable travel carriages for repeatable fillet and butt welds on long seams, reducing operator fatigue and rework.
Explore Carriages →DORJE series CNC gantry machines for accurate plate profiling with nesting software, feeding downstream welding cells with ready parts.
Explore CNC Gantry →The right process depends on material thickness, joint position, required productivity, automation level and where the work is done. Use this comparison as a starting point before you finalise a specification.
| Parameter | SAW (Submerged Arc) | MIG / MAG (GMAW) | TIG (GTAW) | Stick (SMAW) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best For | Thick plate, pressure vessels, long straight or circumferential seams | Thin to medium sections, production fabrication | Stainless, alloys, thin sheet, critical root passes | Site work, pipelines, maintenance and repair |
| Deposition Rate | Very high | High | Low | Medium |
| Welding Positions | Flat & horizontal fillet | All positions | All positions | All positions |
| Automation Level | Fully automatic | Semi / fully automatic | Manual or mechanised | Manual |
| Operator Skill | Low (machine-driven) | Medium | High | High |
| Outdoor / Wind Tolerance | Good (flux-shielded) | Low (gas shield disturbed) | Low | Excellent |
| Spatter & Finish | Virtually no spatter, smooth bead | Low to moderate | None, highest cosmetic quality | Moderate, slag removal needed |
| APS Recommended | Endeavour SAW Series → | MIG / CC-CV Series → | Apollo Pulse TIG → | Genesis / Discover ARC → |
Guidance is general. Final process selection should follow your welding procedure specification (WPS) and applicable code requirements. Our application engineers can review drawings and joint details on request.
Our R&D team develops the inverter topology, control boards and firmware in-house, so application issues are solved at the root rather than escalated to a third party.
An ISO 9001:2015 certified system governs incoming materials, assembly and final testing of every power source before dispatch.
Power sources, automation, torches and accessories from one manufacturer simplify integration, spares planning and warranty handling.
Pre-sale application advice, installation guidance, trained service engineers and spare parts keep your machines productive for years.
Most welding machine mismatches in export projects come from missing site data, not product quality. Sharing these five points up front shortens the quotation cycle and prevents costly rework on arrival.
Read the Full Selection Guide →Confirm supply voltage, phase and frequency (50 or 60 Hz), and whether machines will run on a generator. Voltage fluctuation at remote sites determines which input tolerance you need.
Compare machines at the same amperage and ambient temperature. Industrial ratings commonly follow IEC 60974-1, measured over a 10-minute cycle at 40 °C.
List base metals, plate thickness range, joint types and positions so the right process and current class can be matched.
If you plan to add positioners, carriages or column & boom later, choose an automation-ready power source now to avoid replacing it.
Agree on recommended spares, consumables, operating manuals and service access with your supplier before the order is placed.
APS equipment works on the jobs where weld failure is not an option.
Structural assemblies, earth-moving equipment and machine frames welded at high deposition rates.
Hull blocks, decks and offshore structures using multi-operator, SAW and flux-cored MIG setups.
Cellulosic root passes, fill and cap on cross-country pipelines and station piping.
Bridge girders, beams and columns for structural steel and metro projects.
Boilers, heat exchangers and tube-to-tube joints in thermal and process power plants.
Longitudinal and circumferential seams on vessels and storage tanks with rotators and SAW.
Match process, current range, duty cycle and input power to your application.

Yes. APS industrial power sources are built for continuous duty in heavy fabrication, pressure vessels, shipbuilding, structural steel, pipelines and power plant fabrication, where stable arc performance and high duty cycle are required.
Yes. APS supplies welding positioners, welding rotators, welding arms, column and boom systems, welding carriages, pipe profile cutting machines and CNC plasma gantry cutting machines that can be integrated with APS SAW, MIG and TIG power sources.
Yes. APS serves customers in India and international markets. Overseas buyers should share their site input voltage, phase and frequency, the welding process, material thickness and required duty cycle so the APS sales team can recommend a suitable configuration.
Compare duty cycle at the same welding current and the same ambient temperature. Industrial machines are commonly rated to IEC 60974-1, which measures duty cycle over a 10-minute period at 40 °C. A higher duty cycle at your actual working current means less downtime from thermal cut-off.
APS provides application guidance, installation support, trained service engineers, spare parts and a dealer network. Service calls can be booked online or by calling the dedicated service line +91 96013 33888.
