Where the Future of Welding is Already at Work
Discover Our Solutions
Spool Welding Robot (SWR™)
The SWR™ is an advanced welding cobot specifically designed for pipe and roll welding applications. Companies that have implemented the SWR™ have increased their productivity by up to 12X and achieved consistent X-ray quality welds, enhancing their competitiveness in bidding and boosting margins on existing projects.Explore SWR™
SWR-TIPTIG
With the smallest footprint in the industry, the SWR-TIPTIG is a cobot designed specifically for pipe, pressure vessel, and roll welding applications using the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW or TIG) process. This system pushes the limits of TIG welding to new heights using the advanced TIPTIG system, enhancing both speed and precision far beyond conventional standards.Explore SWR-TIPTIG
NovAI™
NovAI brings vision and cognition to your articulated robotic and mechanized welders. Our AI- powered robotic vision system increases the ROI of automated welding and automates tasks that could not be automated before.Explore NovAI

Customer Success
See What Our Customers Achieve
"Remarkably, the SWR has proven to be equivalent to having four to six skilled welders on average for our operations."
Trident Process Systems
"The cost of weld repairs is typically between $800.-$1,000 per test, and with Novarc we’ve achieved a 0% failure rate."
Metropolitan Mechanical Contractors, Inc.
"Novarc did some testing for us and we fell in love.The first project we did we cut off 4.5 man weeks of shop welding, so we saved around $114,000 on that project, and it made us competitive and added value to the end user."
Western Allied Mechanical
"The quality side of it is definitely the data aspect; the ability to tie in the weld data and video logs with our BIM information was a very big bonus."
Wade Eno|CEO of RoboFab
"We have shown more than half a dozen of our customers around the machine. It’s a powerful message to our clients that we are investing in a piece of technology that’s going to make the work we do for them less expensive, higher quality, and take fewer hours."
Seaspan's Vancouver Drydock Company Ltd.
"We looked at a few other options when looking for welding solutions. The edge that Novarc has is the footprint of the equipment, we have a lot more flexibility with the SWR ... The other reason why we went with Novarc is that Novarc showed up here with what we call a “fresh air”. A new product that is really dedicated to improving pipe welding."
Ganotec|Muga Fab
"We knew autonomy was a big deal when one of our operators forgot he was welding and walked away from the machine. It's been fantastic to collaborate with NovARC on another industry-defining evolution."
Pitt Meadows Plumbing & Mechanical Systems Ltd.
"We've achieved a 400-500% increase in daily welding output, allowing the company to complete projects in a fraction of the time previously required."
Lepol
"We do not need to stop and clean in between passes. We’ve had a lot of clients come to see our shop during the bid process and they go crazy when they see the robot. They love it! They love the videotape capability. We play back the welds for them and they are absolutely gorgeous welds."
