Real-time vision processing system for weld quality

Novarc Technologies Inc. has launched NovEye Autonomy (Gen 2), a real-time vision processing system that constantly improves weld quality based on data collection and model enhancement to fully automate the pipe welding process while maximizing productivity and delivering the highest quality welds.

Novarc says that the NovEye Autonomy (Gen 2) is the only AI machine learning real-time vision processing system that constantly improves welds based on data collection and model enhancement. NovEye Autonomy gets smarter as it continuously improves through a terabyte-scale library of welding videos, ensuring unmatched precision and reliability.

The software is embedded in the control system of the cobot and controls the weld pool in exactly the same way a human welder would, allowing the repetitive welds to be delegated to the robot. The autonomous welding process enables uninterrupted welding due to NovEye Autonomy (Gen 2’s) multi-pass and multi-layer autonomous welding system, which is able to handle real-world pipe fitting inconsistencies like HiLo and varying root gaps. NovEye Autonomy (Gen 2) can immediately detect and adapt welding parameters to maintain weld integrity.

Fabricators and contract manufacturers worldwide are held to strict standards to provide sophisticated welds for industries such as aerospace, food & beverage, mining, energy, pharmaceutical, shipbuilding, chemical processing, and water treatment & desalination. All of these industries stand to benefit from NovEye Autonomy (Gen 2) which enables high quality welds with zero operator intervention, maximizing productivity and minimizing errors.

As well, NovEye Autonomy (Gen 2) can easily integrate into existing manufacturing processes of customers across a range of industries.
