Aerospace manufacturing produces high-tech components like aircraft, missiles, space vehicles, engines, and structural supports, demanding the highest standards of precision and quality. Materials such as Invar 36 (Ni) are used for critical components, but the industry faces challenges like distortion control and extensive interpass cleaning due to the high nickel content in these materials. The Spool Welding Robot (SWR™) with TIP TIG technology is designed to meet these stringent requirements, enhancing both quality and efficiency by providing consistent, high-quality welds and faster project completion rates.

Quality and Efficiency
SWR-TIPTIG ensures every weld meets the highest quality standards required in aerospace manufacturing. The low heat input of the TIP TIG process minimizes distortion, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of structural components. This reduction in distortion significantly decreases the need for rework, saving time and labor. Additionally, the TIP TIG process utilizes 100% Argon, which reduces the need for extensive interpass grinding, producing weldments that require only minimal cleaning and ensuring X-ray quality welds. This efficiency in cleaning and quality control allows aerospace manufacturers to maintain high standards without sacrificing productivity.
Productivity Gains
The SWR™ with TIP TIG technology offers higher deposition rates, reaching up to 4 lbs/hour, far surpassing conventional TIG systems. Additionally, it provides up to a 300% increase in travel speeds, enabling faster project completion. These gains in productivity are crucial in the aerospace sector, where efficiency and precision are paramount.
