The WeldPro 360 LRW-18 boom arm is the flagship of the WeldPro 360 lineup. It delivers exceptional performance with its 18’ reach and unique, double-articulated design. The WP360 LRW-18 differentiates itself from all other competitors by adding vertical motion to the secondary arm. If you need to weld both close to the floor as well as at extended heights—more than 10’ above the floor—then the WP360 LRW-18 is a great choice.

The standard mounting height for the WP360 LRW-18 arm is 8’ to the bottom of the arm. The secondary arm raises vertically 73” with the push of a button, stopping anywhere in its range. At the standard arm mounting height, the wire feeder height ranges from a comfortable 60” above the floor—for easy access to welding controls—to an impressive 133” for very large weldments. The double-articulation capabilities of this unique arm, allow you to fold the secondary arm back alongside of the primary arm (effectively shortening the arm to 10’) and quickly maneuver around or over obstructions.

The primary arm is 10’ long and the secondary arm is 8’ long. The primary arm rotates 192° around the main pivot point, providing complete welding coverage within a 56’ diameter semi-circular welding zone WeldPro 360 boom arm when using a 15’ MIG welding gun. The secondary arm rotates a full 360° about the end of the primary arm and eliminates all unreachable dead zones, common to single-articulated, straight-arm booms.

Create clean and organized welding cells by routing all hoses and cables within the interior of the WP360 LRW-18’s welding arm—no more unsightly cables and hoses hanging from the arm or laying on the shop floor creating a safety hazard. The primary arm incorporates an electrically controlled, positive stop rotation brake and the secondary arm has a no touch friction brake to hold the entire arm in position. Ball bearing pivot points make repositioning the arm an almost effortless task, moving from position to position in mere seconds.

With the ability to mount wire feeders from any supplier of choice, you can place the necessary welding controls right where the operator is working, no more wasted time going back and forth to the welding machine to make adjustments to the weld process.

When installing the WP360 LRW-18 arm, there are five basic options available from which to choose, giving you the ability to tailor your installation for maximum return on investment. The options range from a wide-open, do-it-yourself approach, to a fully engineered and ready to install solution, using readily available, WeldPro 360 designed and engineered components.
