Pro Spot Rolls Out New Equipment Lineup

Equipment supplier Pro Spot has consistently demonstrated its ability to meet the increasingly specialized needs of collision repair shops. A visit to its booth at SEMA offered a firsthand look at a company driven by technology.

Russel Duncan, Director of Sales and Marketing for Canada, welcomed us alongside Specialist Representative Roger Charron to walk us through the newest additions to their catalogue.

The first, described as “revolutionary” by our hosts, is the PLZ-1 portable laser welder. Available now in our market, this tool is remarkably easy to use, operates three times faster than a MIG welder, and delivers factory-grade weld quality. It can work across multiple surfaces—including aluminum—without the risk of cross-contamination.

Another of the seven new products launched at SEMA this year by Pro Spot is the ION Hammer Pro-101 portable dent puller, powered by a rechargeable lithium battery. Highly manoeuvrable, this powerful tool is designed for a wide range of steel panel straightening applications.

Charron and Duncan reminded readers that Pro Spot handles delivery, installation, and training for all the equipment it sells.

Just before wrapping up our visit, an impressive unit caught our eye: a cobot spot-welding the panels of a Rivian SUV. This articulated arm—which stops immediately when it detects a presence or obstacle—can carry various types of welders and even a dustless sander.
