Metropolitan Mechanical Contractors, Inc. (MMC) put Novarc Technologies Inc.’s Spool Welding Robot™ (SWR) to work and dramatically increased their welding capacity, achieving consistent, high-quality welds every single time. Corey Hagerty, pipefitting shop foreman at MMC, described the impact: “Before implementing the SWR, we typically had three to four guys welding (depending on the project) and we averaged from 60 to 80 factored diameter inches (FDI) a day. Currently, we’re doing 200 to 250 FDI a day on the SWR; we even achieved 290” in one day.”
