Carbon Arc Gouging (CAG) — also called Air Carbon Arc Gouging (CAC-A) — is a metal removal process where a carbon electrode creates an electric arc that melts the base metal, and a high-velocity jet of compressed air blows the molten metal away.
Unlike mechanical grinding or chipping, CAG is significantly faster, cleaner, and more efficient. It is the preferred method in heavy industry for removing defective welds, preparing weld grooves, back-gouging, and cleaning casting surfaces.
APS Genesis Series CAG machines are engineered specifically with optimised arc characteristics for gouging — delivering brute-force current output with IGBT efficiency, consuming up to 60% less power versus conventional transformer-based gouging machines.
Submerged Arc Welding is an automatic arc welding process where the arc is formed between a continuously fed wire electrode and the workpiece — entirely under a blanket of granular flux.
The flux layer shields the arc from atmosphere, eliminates spatter, and produces a clean, deep-penetration weld consistently. This makes SAW ideal for thick plates and long-seam welding where manual processes cannot match the quality or speed.
Unlike SMAW (Arc / Stick Welding) or MIG Welding, SAW requires minimal operator intervention and is best suited for semi-automatic or fully automatic production lines.
Efficiently excavate faulty welds for repair or rework before re-welding.
Gouge bevels and grooves on thick plates for full-penetration joint preparation
Remove risers, gates, and surface defects from castings quickly and cleanly.
Use as an alternative cutting method and for piercing holes in heavy steel sections.

Select the required current on the remote pendant. Genesis machines allow current setting from the work area — no walking back to the machine.
High-frequency IGBT full-bridge inverter delivers stable, high-current arc specifically optimised for gouging — up to 60% less power vs conventional machines. Lighter and easier to transport.
Automatically boosts current during electrode dipping to prevent sticking, maintaining a stable and consistent gouging arc — critical for long, continuous gouge runs.
Delivers an initial surge of current at arc ignition for smooth, spatter-free arc starts — especially useful for CAG electrodes and thick base materials.
Operators can adjust welding / gouging current directly from the torch area via remote pendant — eliminating repeated trips to the machine and improving workflow efficiency.
VRD reduces open-circuit voltage to a safe level when not welding, protecting operators — a mandatory safety requirement in shipyards, confined spaces, and wet environments.
Comprehensive protection against Over Current, Input Power Fluctuations, Phase Loss, and Over Temperature — ensures reliable machine operation in the harshest industrial environments.
