NovEye™ Autonomy: Pipe welding with AI
Get better and better – like a welding specialist: Enter a new era of fully automated MIG/MAG pipe welding with this AI learning software that controls the course of the weld pool as a human would, while increasing productivity and delivering X-ray quality welds.
The operator can take care of other tasks while the spool welding robot SWR with its NovEye™ Autonomy system takes care of controlling the automated pipe welding process.
All information at a glance
First of its kind in welding
In cooperation with ABICOR BINZEL, Novarc Technologies introduces NovEye™ Autonomy. NovEye™ Autonomy represents a cutting-edge computer vision and image processing system, which combines sophisticated AI algorithms with advanced robotic controls to fully automate pipe welding, boosting productivity while ensuring X-ray quality welds.
Harnessing extensive data collection and deep learning, this revolutionary software integrates with the robot's control system, managing the weld pool just like a human welder. This allows the robot to take over monotonous and repetitive welding tasks.
Software specifications
- Immediately detects and adapts welding parameters to maintain weld integrity
- Delivers a perfect root pass by controlling the weld and motion parameters against changes in gap, hi-lo, and out of round pipe
- Automatically detects tacks and adjusts welding and motion parameters simultaneously to give you the perfect tack fusion
- Has an automatic root gap adaptation function that handles various rout gaps »en route« to your multi-pass and multi-layer automated weld
- Gets smarter by collecting weld data and continuously improves through a terabyte-scale library of welding videos
