NOVARC TECHNOLOGIES LAUNCHES SWR-F SPOOL WELDING ROBOT

NOVARC TECHNOLOGIES LAUNCHES SWR-F SPOOL WELDING ROBOT

Novarc Technologies is recently announced the launch of SWR-F, which makes welding of slip-on flanges a lot easier with the Spool Welding Robot (SWR™).

What SWR-F delivers: • Easier and faster slip-on flange welding • X-ray quality welds • Accountability and traceability for Quality

Assurance and Quality Control managers

The SWR™ is a welding cobot designed specifically for pipe, small pressure vessel, and other types of roll welding. Companies that have invested in the SWR™ have increased their pipe welding productivity to 200350 diameter inches per shift on carbon steel pipes, and 569-998 diameter inches per shift on stainless steel, and have dropped their repair rate to less than 1%. This is making their workshops more competitive when bidding on jobs, and it has increased margins on contracts they’ve already won.

The SWR™ has one of the smallest footprints in the industry and when combined with Novarc’s proprietary Welding Vision System with the insights provided from NovData™, it delivers a world-class solution that can improve your competitiveness.

LEARN MORE ABOUT SWR-F A CHANGE OF OWNERSHIP FOR DELTA ELECTRICITY

The owners of Delta Electricity recently agreed to a 100% share sale to Sev.en Global Investments (Sev. en), a Czech Republic investment group focused on the energy and mining sectors.

According to Greg Everett (Chief Executive, Delta Electricity), “The proposed acquisition of the Delta Electricity Group by Sev.en is a positive development for Delta and its stakeholders. Sev.en has shown a clear interest in energy businesses in Australia, ensuring that it is well placed to provide reliable generation through the energy transition. This will benefit customers, employees and system security for all energy users.”

“Delta Electricity is a provider of electricity to approximately 11% of New South Wales. Together with Sev.en’s prior investments in Australia, this investment will strengthen its position as one of Australia’s significant electricity businesses,” said Everett.

Delta thanks Trevor St Baker and Brian Flannery for their leadership of the business since privatisation in 2015. Due to their sound control and direction, together with a commitment to maintain extensive investment in the business, Vales Point has continued to be a significant contributor to the energy needs of our community.

Sev.en is already present in Australia through its 50% interest in InterGen N.V. which has interests in the Milmerran and Callide power stations in Queensland in addition to its four gas-fired power plants in the United Kingdom with the total output of 10.7 TWh, and around 300 employees across the two countries.

There are various government approvals and consents required for a transation of this nature. It is expected that, subject to these approvals, the transaction will be completed in the coming weeks.

There are two fusion welding courses that adhere to ISO 9606 Qualification test of welders on Training.gov.au. This is the authoritative source of nationally recognised training and Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). These two courses were developed in Victoria in 2018 and use augmented reality welding simulators as a key component of the training.

TRANSITION WORKERS To be awarded a certificate for the Course in Fusion Welding to AS/NZS ISO 9606 for Transition Workers, you must successfully complete seven units of competency (four core and three elective). Core units: • Simulate fusion welding processes using augmented reality equipment • Identify welding processes, safe welding practices and use of hand and power tools • Interpret and apply AS/NZS ISO 9606 for fusion welding processes • Perform fusion welding procedures to meet the procedures of ISO 96061 (Steels – carbon steels)

EXPERIENCED WELDERS To be awarded a Statement of Attainment for the Course in Fusion Welding to AS/NZS ISO 9606 for Experienced Welders, you must successfully complete three units of competency (one core and two elective). The core unit is: Interpret and apply AS/NZS ISO 9606 for fusion welding processes.
