Versatile Dual-Process Welding Robot



Novarc Technologies Inc. has launched the SWR-TIGMIG, a dual-process spool welding robot that integrates TIG and MIG welding into a single, autonomous platform.

Designed for fabricators who required X-ray-quality TIG root welds with the speed and throughput of MIG, the SWR-TIGMIG offers increased productivity and versatility in the pipe fabrication industry.

"Novarc's flagship SWR, introduced in 2017 as the world's first welding cobot, redefined shop-floor automation with MIG-based pipe and roll welding, delivering higher productivity, less than one per cent repair rates, and full automation," said a company spokesperson. "Building on that foundation, the new SWR-TIGMIG now combines the proven speed of MIG with the precision of TIG, enabling up to 4X productivity gains on dual-process welds."

"SWR-TIGMIG helps fabrication shops overcome complex welding requirements that have historically limited productivity," said Joel Armstrong, Director of Product Management, Novarc Technologies. "By combining two systems into one, welders can perform precision TIG root passes and seamlessly transition to MIG fill passes in under 30 seconds, eliminating tradeoffs between quality and speed."

The SWR-TIGMIG is purpose-built for fabricators handling diverse projects that require uncompromising quality and rapid turnaround. With the ability to integrate up to four positioners, the system maximizes shop space while boosting throughput and reducing operating costs.

The SWR-TIGMIG also provides advanced features, including:

  • Single-camera system with clear weld visibility and intuitive Luna UI, providing seamless control over TIG and MIG with intelligent recipes and built-in process memory
  • Cutting-edge weld imaging system
  • Hot Filler Wire Technology
  • Patented TIP TIG Feeding System
  • NovData intelligent data and process management
  • NovSync advanced multipositioner synchronization for increased productivity.
