Automated welding made efficient
Image: Novarc Technologies Novarc Technologies, a full-stack robotics company specialising in the design and manufacturing of cobots and AI systems for robotic welding applications, aims to address the shortage in welders with their autonomous SWR cobots. Novarc Technologies is a robotics company based in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The company specialises in developing advanced robotic welding solutions for industrial applications. Their flagship product is their Spool Welding Robot (SWR), which is designed to automate the welding process for pipe spool fabrication in industries such as oil and gas, power generation, shipbuilding, mining, and construction. Currently, a surge in demand for pipe welding has been observed across emerging industries such as server farms, biopharma plants, and carbon capture plants, creating new requirements that did not exist previously. Compared to more common industrial robots, the SWR has several advantages. “The 6-axis industrial robots...
