I just want to convey my appreciation for the good work that APEX has done for us. I have just been informed the components APEX repaired for us have exceeded all expectations. We have just crossed the 3x lifecycle benchmark. We would like to develop more applications with the team at APEX.
The game-changer for us to adopt laser cladding as our standard repair method was APEX’s willingness to undergo our supplier qualification process, to produce test tokens for laboratory and mechanical testing, and to adopt our quality control standards from the beginning. We look forward to develop more applications together with Apex ETG.
APEX ETG uses automated laser welding and robotic welding systems, combining high‑precision laser energy with automated motion control to perform fabrication, hardfacing, wear protection, equipment reclamation, and welding of thin‑gauge and distortion‑critical assemblies. These systems enable high‑speed fabrication, tailored beam control, and repeatable high‑quality welds for industrial applications across mining, oil & gas, and heavy industry.
Automated welding refers broadly to welding processes performed with mechanised equipment that controls heat input, travel speed, and repeatability, while robotic welding specifically uses robotic arms to manipulate the weld head with high‑precision multi‑axis control. At APEX ETG, automated welding includes laser welding systems and mechanised setups, whereas robotic welding integrates advanced robotics to provide enhanced precision, consistent travel paths, and superior repeatability for complex or repetitive welds.
Automated welding at APEX ETG is ideal for hardfacing, wear protection parts, equipment reclamation, thin‑gauge components, stainless steel heat exchangers, thin‑wall tubing, fuel rails, and distortion‑critical thin‑shell assemblies. These parts benefit from controlled heat input, minimal distortion, and high repeatability in applications requiring secure metallurgical bonding.
Automated welding greatly improves consistency by using precise robotic or mechanised control, ensuring uniform travel speed, consistent heat input, and repeatable weld geometry. APEX ETG’s systems enable defect‑free, repeatable processes with reduced distortion, delivering consistent quality across high‑volume or high‑precision applications that manual welding cannot reliably achieve.
Yes. APEX ETG’s automated welding systems support versatile material joining, including difficult‑to‑weld or high‑alloy materials such as stainless steels and heat‑resistant alloys commonly used in industrial and thin‑gauge applications. Their precision heat control allows metallurgical integrity to be maintained even in sensitive alloys.
Quality control is supported by APEX ETG’s in‑house metallurgical laboratory and NDT capabilities, which perform material analysis, defect detection, hardness checks, and structural verification to ensure weld integrity, dimensional accuracy, and compliance with engineering requirements. Their integrated surface engineering workflow ensures full traceability and repeatability.
We also have a welding management system that upkeeps our WPS, PQR and WQRs in place. All of this is within our IMS framework certified by ISO 9001 standards.
Yes. The use of laser welding and robotic automation allows APEX ETG to weld complex geometries, thin‑gauge assemblies, and components requiring tightly controlled distortion levels. Laser welding’s directional precision enables access to narrower features and sensitive areas that would be difficult with manual processes.
APEX ETG can process large and heavy components, supported by industrial handling capabilities and high‑power lasers designed for drive‑train components, turbine blades, and large mining hardware; maximum capacity up to 12 metres in length and 40 MT in weight.
Industries that gain the most include:
However, all industries where welding, hardfacing, wear protection, or distortion‑critical assemblies are required, can benefit. Automated welding improves reliability, extends component life, and supports cost‑effective refurbishment.
Automated welding achieves exceptional precision through controlled laser beam shaping, robotic motion accuracy, minimal heat input, and tightly regulated welding parameters, enabling reduced distortion, defect‑free processing, and perfectly repeatable weld paths. This precision is further enhanced by tailored beam sizing and high‑speed control algorithms within APEX ETG’s laser and robotic systems.
