Novarc to Showcase Enhanced Features of Spool Welding Robot at FABTECH
Novarc’s Spool Welding Robot is the world’s first collaborative welding robot designed for pipe, small pressure vessel, and other types of roll welding.
Posted: November 5, 2022
Novarc Technologies Inc. (“Novarc”), a full-stack robotics company specializing in the design and commercialization of cobots and AI systems for robotic welding applications, will be showcasing new, enhanced features of their Spool Welding Robot at FABTECH in Atlanta, Georgia, from November 8 to 10, 2022 (Booth C12857). Specifically, NovEye™, SWR+HyperFill®, SWR-F (fillet welding), as well as roller integration and Novarc’s branded positioners.
Novarc’s Spool Welding Robot (“SWR”) is the world’s first collaborative welding robot (“cobot”) designed specifically for pipe, small pressure vessel, and other types of roll welding. Novarc’s welding automation technology provides a solution for fabrication shops that lowers the cost of welding, increases productivity/shop capacity and achieves more consistent weld quality while improving welder ergonomics.
“Our customers have come back to purchase multiple Spool Welding Robots (SWR) for their shops, as it has helped them combat the shortage of welders, win more projects, and get ahead of their competition,” says Soroush Karimzadeh, CEO of Novarc.
At FABTECH, Novarc will be demonstrating its latest technologies including NovEye™, SWR+HyperFill®, and SWR-F (fillet welding):
NovEye™
NovEye™ is Novarc’s real-time vision processing system integrating AI algorithms with advanced robotic controls to fully automate the pipe welding process to increase productivity and produce x-ray quality welds.
NovEye™ uses years of data collection and machine learning; the software ties into the control system of the cobot and controls the weld pool the same way human welders would, allowing the boring, repetitive welds to be delegated to the robot, and the associated human errors and costs to significantly decrease.
SWR+HyperFill®
With the SWR+HyperFill® option, fabrication shops can expand the capabilities of their SWR. The system increases heavy fabrication productivity by increasing weld deposition rates and deposition efficiencies (increases Factored Diameter Inches to 350-500 per shift on carbon steel pipes / meets ASME Section IX and B31.3 WPS qualification requirements).
SWR-F
The SWR-F enables easier and faster fillet welding to achieve consistent, high quality fillet welds. The SWR-F provides a full view of the critical area on the HMI.
At the show, Novarc will also be demonstrating how the SWR can now be integrated with rollers to allow for welding large-diameter pipes, and a new turnkey solution with the latest Novarc branded positioners, providing customers with the option of positioners with 3,000 lb and 6,000 lb capacities.
