New - check out perfect pass iq

• PerfectPass-iQ – Welding Intelligence
• PerfectPass-iQ on the Rotoweld 3.0 delivers true automatic welding with exceptional X-ray quality and provides detailed QC reports. Quite simply, it’s the new operational standard in pipe spool fabrication.
• 100% hands-off welding
  • Perfect Root Pass
    • PerfectPass-iQ ensures that fusion and penetration are maintained throughout the entire root pass by continuously adjusting for gap, hi-lo, bevel angle, land, out-of-round and centering the joint.
  • Perfect Fill Passe
    • PerfectPass-iQ is the only fully adaptive automated welding intelligence in fill passes, ensuring optimized fusion of the pass on both the root outer face and the bevel sides. It also maintains the optimized arc-length and stick-out, no matter the conditions of the preparation.
  • Perfect Cap
    • PerfectPass-iQ is the only automated welding intelligence with a capping pass custom adapted to each joint preparation, ensuring it stays centered on the joint, maintaining appropriate arc length and covering the entire joint from one side to the other.

• The Rotoweld system is designed to maximize efficiency and uptime. Using only two positioners we can achieve up to 90% arc-on time.
• By adding additional positioners, you will take up more real estate, require more operators and gain no additional arc-on time.

• Rotoweld offers the smallest square foot requirements of any pipe welding robot.
• The latest Twin Face to Face setup only require 48’ between twin faceplates.
• Check out the various Rotoweld configurations at the link below:

• Traditional welding positioners are typically manufactured using spur gears. While these are great for manual welding, they tend to add backlash into the system over time. You can add a servo motor to these positioners, but they will develop backlash within the gearing, cause the welding parameters to deteriorate.
• The Rotoweld system utilizes servo motors and zero-backlash planetary reducers. This is the same type of moto/reducer setup that is used on 6-axis industrial robots.
• The Rotoweld positioners offer 50,000 in-lbs. of rotating torque. A standard 3,000 lb. welding positioner only provides 18,000 in-lbs. of rotating torque. The Rotoweld positioner is over 2.5 times stronger than a typical welding positioner.
• The positioners on the Rotoweld system have a 65” centerline of rotation. This allows for rotating of elbows without hitting the floor. Traditional welding positioners typically have only a 36” centerline of rotation.
• Rotoweld gives you single point of contact for the entire system. In the unlikely event you develop a problem, you make one phone call. There is no finger pointing.

• Rotoweld system is quoted fully integrated:
  • Includes positioners.
  • Includes track system to assure level along entire length of pipe to be welded
  • Robotic manipulator
  • Idler support rolls
  • Software included
  • Lincoln Powerwave 500 with STT and pulse capabilities
• We believe only a fully integrated work cell can deliver the most high-quality, reproducible, productive and consistent welds.

• Available as an option, Rotoweld is compatible with MSUITE, STRATUS and others, making it a versatile tool for manufacturers who want to streamline their operations and work more efficiently. 
  • Easily identifies and pushes the weld ID and information to the Rotoweld software.
  • Automatically loads the right welding program, if specified
  • Links the Prodatalog weld information to the shop’s valid weld ID.
  • Notifies the plant tracking software when the weld is complete.
  • Sends critical weld information to the weld ID, such as heat input and arc-on-time.

• There are no fees associated with our Prodatalog™ 
• Prodatalog™ brings industry 4.0 to your welding fabrication process.
• Prodatalog™ has two main goals:
  • Productivity Tracking 
  • Quality Control.

• The rail-based system is the backbone of automated welding.
• The rail-based design is key to automation since it is the link between the welding robot, the positioners, and the support rollers. That’s why it’s essential to ensure reproducible positioning of the welding torch (stick-out) and the same welding position every time, regardless of the diameter of the pipe or length of the spool assembly. 
• The welding robot is seamlessly carried to a second welding station along the rails, so the Twin Bay model eliminates set- up time and increases productivity.
• Upon loading the proper welding program, the Rotoweld’s welding arm, driven by zero-backlash harmonic drives, will position itself automatically, respecting the pipe diameter and indicated stick-out. The welding head is always perpendicular to the pipe axis without the operator re-adjusting for every weld.
• All the welding cables are embedded in the rail design for safer and simpler shop operations.

• Ongoing support and warranty.
• Rotoweld takes pride in offering the best manufacturing/engineering warranty and support in the business so you can rely on Rotoweld 3.0 technology for years to come.

• Due to Rotoweld’s unique ability to handle out of round pipe, Rotoweld can weld pipe 40’ away from the positioner.

• Rotoweld is designed to handle down to 3” diameter pipe.

• Yes, the Rotoweld system has been successfully welding stainless steel for years.
