BINZEL USA Teams with Novarc Technologies for collaborative Spool Welding Robot

Written by Tom Graham | Apr 4, 2018 5:00:00 PM

Novarc Technologies and ABICOR BINZEL USA, Inc. are pleased to announce the world’s first collaborative Spool Welding Robot (SWR) is now available for demonstrations at Har-Bach (formerly known as Red Rock USA) in Houston, Texas.

Novarc’s SWR is a semi-automated robotic solution designed for pipe welding, small pressure vessel manufacturing and other 1G welding applications. The collaborative robot utilizes a three-axis robotic arm at the end of a long reach manipulator, which increases the dexterity and flexibility of the human operator, improving productivity on the shop floor and reducing costs for the pipe shop. Novarc’s SWR collaborative welding robot is currently in operation in the US and Canada, and operations are expanding throughout North America, Europe, and Middle East.

The SWR is designed to modernize the labor-intensive practice of pipe fabrication shops as well as  address the global shortage of highly skilled welders.  Equipped with a built-in safety system (eliminating the need for hard fencing), SWR users benefit from increased productivity, up to 90 per cent arc-on-time, lower cost-per-joint and improved weld quality.

To schedule a time for a demonstration of Novarc’s SWR, please contact us.

Please note: Private demo appointments are limited, and booked on a first come first serve basis.
