TIP TIG: new technology for welding

Abstract

Purpose The paper aims to report on a new welding technology, TIP TIG. Design/methodology/approach The principle of operation and benefits of the technology are described together with a typical application. Findings The study finds that the technology provides the quality of TIG welding at the speeds of MIG welding, providing significant cost savings to the user. Practical implications TIP TIG provides a good opportunity for all users of robotic MIG welding to improve the quality of their product and reduce their costs. Originality/value The paper introduces a new and useful technology to the robot industry.
