Safety The Spool Welding Robot meets all the safety requirements of ISO15066; therefore, the installation of a housing or safety curtains is not required. Ratio of reach Compared to industrial spool welding robots, the SWR has the largest ratio of reach to footprint. E. g. your shop’s footprint is limited to 2,23 m². In that case, the SWR still has a range of 4.5 m (radial) for a maximum pipe diameter of approx.1.5 m (depending on the positioner configuration). Ergonomics The SWR improves the ergonomics of pipe welders. It brings the welder out of rigid position while welding and takes over the weave motion. It strains off the welder‘s back and shoulder joints. Data logging and reporting NovData logging software allows analysis and reporting of your weld data. All welding data are stored and available for you. These data are for example heat input, positioner speed, wire feed speed, etc. Monitoring Each weld is stored by the NovEye monitoring system. That allows your employees to analyze and improve their process for the next welds. Seam tracking & distance control The SWR assists the operator in torch to pipe distance by using a laser camera and closed loop control system. With this, the operator is automatically assisted in seam tracking and can primarily keep his focus on the weld.
