Why Choose the new Acrobat™ iSeries?

McElroy pioneered the iSeries technology in 2020 with the introduction of the TracStar^® iSeries. Since its inception, that technology has earned a reputation for enhancing operator efficiency on the job. Integrated tools allow operators, managers, owners, and inspectors to have confidence that every joint is in adherence to industry standards and fused correctly before the line goes into service - with the documentation to back it up.

FusionGuide™ Control System

Integrated software guides the user through every step of the fusion - offering three levels of machine control - from manual to fully automatic fusion.
Software prompts ensure every operator is confident in machine operations and steps of the fusion process - shortening training time.

Automated functions

The iSeries family of machines include multiple automated functions to increase efficiency and improve user safety.

Software controls functions, such as, measuring drag pressure and the shift sequence to allow operators to focus on other time-sensitive tasks.
The Acrobat™ iSeries line features automatic heater retraction to streamline operations, reducing operator fatigue and boosting productivity.
Auto-facing feature makes the process as simple as a single button push, ensuring a clean face-off every time.

Integrated DataLogger^® Technology

A DataLogger tablet serves as the operator input for the Acrobat iSeries machines - making operations simple and easy-to-use. The device simultaneously documents the entire fusion process, capturing essential details that include pressures, times, operator and machine information, GPS locations and more. Software-assisted analysis of every joint gives operators and inspectors real-time visual confirmation that each fusion is within industry standards. DataLogger records can be synced with the McElroy Vault™ for storage, sharing, and further inspection.

Built to Meet Industry Needs

Gain all of the benefits of automated fusion in the Acrobat iSeries's lightweight and compact package. From fabrication work in mechanical applications to underground solutions that simplify fusion, the Acrobat iSeries provides proven technology combined with a rugged design to withstand the harshest of jobsite conditions.

UNDERGROUND

In applications where larger fusion machines are unnecessary, the Acrobat iSeries offers a flexible, simple solution that provides all of the traceability of the larger iSeries line. This lightweight machine has all the muscle needed for smaller-diameter pipe fusion with all the benefits of iSeries technology.

MECHANICAL

For fusion applications like fabrication workflows that require reliable and repeatable functions, the Acrobat iSeries simplifies the process and gives operators the ability to focus on other tasks. At the same time, the machine provides an added layer of quality control thanks to joint integrity and documentation features of the iSeries line.
