Features & Innovation
The Future at Your Fingertips
Smallest Industry Footprint
The SWR-TIPTIG stands out as the industry's only solution with a compact 4' x 4' footprint that can operate with up to four positioners. This feature maximizes your shop space, boosting productivity and giving you a strong edge in a competitive market.
Collaborative TIG Welding Solution
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. The SWR-TIPTIG not only significantly boosts productivity but also distinctly sets your operations above the competition in a demanding market.
Up to 300% Increase in Travel Speeds
Turbocharge your welding projects with up to a 300% increase in travel speeds. The SWR-TIPTIG System delivers swift and precise welding, ensuring faster project completion times when you have to use the TIG process.
Cutting edge weld imaging system
Witness the future of weld monitoring with our advanced imaging system. Real-time clarity gives SWR-TIPTIG operators unprecedented visibility into the welding process, ensuring unmatched precision and accuracy in every weld.
Enhanced view of the groove, puddle, and stick
Every weld is recorded in real-time with key weld parameters embedded on the screen
Improve weld quality by analyzing recorded videos in parallel with the weld parameters saved by NovData™
Hot Filler Wire Technology
The filler wire in our system is "hot," with 80 amps flowing through it. This unique feature significantly contributes to enhanced deposition rates and travel speeds, further optimizing your welding process.
Patented TipTIG Feeding System
The SWR-TIPTIG System incorporates TipTIG, utilizing a patented feeding system. This system superimposes feeding in parallel through a backward/forward movement. This innovative design breaks the surface tension of the puddle, leading to improved solidification of the weld pool and ensuring impeccable weld quality.
