Robotic, Weld-Removal Equipment

Robotic Weld Shavers

The SWS100-3.7 and SWS100-7.2 robotic weld shavers attach directly to our compliant, end-of-arm tools. The robot moves the weld shaver along the weld bead with the guide wheels straddling the weld while the compliant tool maintains a controlled force against the part surface to maintain contact. The robot’s programmability and large work envelope allow both straight and curved welds to be reliably removed on flat or contoured parts.

Track Weld Shavers

Originally developed for the shipbuilding industry, the PushCorp Track Weld Shaving system is a non-robotic system designed to remove long, linear welds quickly and easily. This system incorporates a SWS100-3.7 or SWS100-7.2, attached to a servo-driven carriage.

The carriage has built-in compliance and moves along the weld at a controlled speed on patent pending, high-capacity, sectioned track. This track is magnetically attached to the steel surface and is specially designed to handle the weight and cutting reaction forces in any orientation — even upside down! It manages all this, yet still remains flexible enough to conform to contoured surfaces with bend radii as little as 4 feet.

All this, combined  with an intuitive control console, allows this technology to remove hundreds of feet of weld, cost-effectively and with little chance of worker injury.
