SWR-TIPTIG integrates TIP TIG dynamic wire feed with a collaborative robot for pipe, pressure-vessel and roll welding using GTAW. The published specification covers 2–30 inch pipe and pressure vessels, a 4 ft by 4 ft footprint and 15 ft reach. The North American SWR requirement is three-phase 208Y/120 V, 60 Hz, 23 A, with a separate welding power-source requirement. A published sub-18-minute example for a six-inch schedule-40 joint is arc-on time only and excludes interpass cooling. That qualification makes the example useful for process comparison without presenting it as total cycle time.
