One common approach to having a general fabrication facility, especially for heavy structures, is to use column & boom machines combined with turning rolls. Meta has three levels of product to support this type of application:

1. For remote operator assistance, Meta has an entry level product called MetaView which allows the operator to control the position of the weld head from a safe position.
2. Meta's Smart Laser Probe is well suited to automating tracking on typical single pass welds. 
3. For automating multipass welds, Meta's VistaWeld system provides a wide range of solutions up to fully automatic adaptive multipass control.
