Advantages of the TIG welding robot SWR TIG TIP®
- Up to 300 % higher welding speed
- Up to 60 % cost savings compared to manual TIG welding
- Consistently high-quality weld seams from the root to the cap layer
- 2.6 times higher deposition rate compared to TIG welding
- Good control of arc and weld pool
- Minimal spatter formation
- Easy to use even for welders who are not specially trained in TIG welding
You process more pipes per shift. You relieve your welding specialists. You ensure consistently high quality for every welded layer. You always have full control of the welding process. Depending on how often the SWR TIP TIG® is used, the investment is amortized after only 6 to 18 months.
2.6 times higher deposition rate
Features: What distinguishes the SWR TIP TIG®
With the TIG welding robot SWR TIP TIG® you can exceed quality standards:
Weld pipes faster, more precisely and thus more economically compared to manual TIG welding – from the root to the cap layer. You can achieve clean weld seams even with thin materials
The SWR TIP TIG® easily welds the following materials:
- Carbon steel
- Stainless steel
- Duplex steel
- Super duplex steel
- INCONEL® alloys
- Titanium
Easy integration into production processes
A TIG welding robot SWR TIP TIG® can be easily integrated into the production chain. It has a relatively small footprint of just 1.2 m x 1.2 m. The working area is over 9 m in diameter. You can operate up to 4 positioners with one SWR TIP TIG®. It couldn't be more efficient! For further details, please refer to the technical data.
