The Square Wave® 205 TIG Welder provides AC/DC TIG welding capabilities for aluminum, steel and stainless fabrication projects.

Sponsored by Lincoln Electric

Explore welding, plasma cutting and automation for automotive fabrication at the 2026 PRI Show, with live equipment demos plus guidance from Lincoln Electric.

At the 2026 PRI Show, December 10–12, in Indianapolis, custom car builders, fabricators and shop decision-makers can test featured Lincoln Electric welding and handheld plasma-cutting equipment in Yellow Hall, Booth 5119, in Machinery Row. Attendees can also explore metal fabrication, CNC plasma cutting, welding automation and collaborative robot welding through live, connected demonstrations.

Start With the Work, Not the Machine

Before comparing equipment, define the work it needs to perform. Start with the materials, thicknesses, processes, available power, movement between work areas and recurring setup or quality challenges.

• What materials and thicknesses does the shop encounter most often?
• Which processes are used regularly?
• Where do setup time, training demands or rework create friction?
• Is there a repeatable cutting or welding task that may warrant an automation evaluation?
  
  

The FlexCut® 45 Plasma Cutter delivers portable metal cutting performance for fabrication, repair and automotive projects.

Evaluate the Complete Experience

• Control layout: Are commonly used settings easy to locate and adjust?
• Setup: What changes when the process, material or application changes?
• Mobility: Can the equipment be positioned where the work takes place?
• Repeatability: Does the setup support a repeatable process under appropriate conditions?
• Shop fit: Will the equipment work with available space, input power and production flow?
  
  

The POWER MIG® 220 AC/DC Multi-Process Welder supports MIG, Flux-Cored, Stick and AC/DC TIG welding in a single machine for automotive fabrication and repair applications.

Bring a Real Shop Challenge to PRI

Bring project photos, material details, available input power, current process information and examples of recurring problems. The goal is to leave with better firsthand information about which capabilities fit the work and what next step makes sense.

Special PRI Show pricing will be available on select equipment. Stop by the booth to try the equipment and ask about available show special pricing, product options and purchasing information. Product availability, pricing and offer terms may vary.

XpertLINC™ uses integrated Physical AI to scan the part, identify the weld joint and create a weld path that adapts to real-world variation.

See Cutting and Welding Automation in Action

The Cooper® Welding Cobot helps small and mid-sized shops achieve consistent, repeatable welds, with quick reprogramming for short runs and changing part demands. For the next level of cobot welding, XpertLINC™ applies integrated Physical AI to understand the part, generate the weld path and adapt to real-world variation and fit-up, making advanced automation more accessible to operators.

The fully assembled 4' x 4' Torchmate® 4400 CNC plasma cutting table will be running live demonstrations on the show floor. Designed for small businesses and educational environments, the Torchmate® 4400 will cut components for a desktop phone holder; attendees can weld them together and take home a finished piece while supplies last.

See both systems running live and talk with Lincoln Electric team members about application requirements, special pricing and automation financing options. Program availability, eligibility and terms may vary.

The Torchmate® 4400 CNC plasma cutting table demonstrates automated part production for small businesses, fabricators and educational programs.

See the Flex Lase™ Handheld Laser Welding System

Lincoln Electric will also feature the Flex Lase™ handheld laser welding system, a 2kW solution built for high-precision welding with travel speeds up to four times faster than a typical TIG process. Its easy-to-use interface helps get new operators up to speed quickly, and its focused heat input helps reduce distortion and spatter.

Flex Lase will be on display only; there will be no live laser welding in the booth. Attendees are encouraged to stop by, see the system up close and ask a booth team member to schedule an in-person demonstration after the Show.

See the Start•All® Jump•Pack Lineup

Rounding out the booth's focus on practical automotive equipment, Lincoln Electric will feature four Start•All® Jump•Pack models designed to provide portable starting power and charge devices on the go. Attendees can compare the lineup and speak with Lincoln Electric team members about selecting the right model for their vehicle and application.

• Start•All® Jump•Pack 2500A
• Start•All® Jump•Pack 5000A
• Start•All® Jump•Pack 10000A
• Start•All® Jump•Pack 12V/24V
