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.
