FAQs

Inrotech systems automate welding of panels, sub-assemblies, and heavy structures using intelligent sensing and adaptive software. They scan, identify, plan, and execute welds automatically, delivering consistent quality with minimal operator input.
No. Inrotech systems eliminate the need for CAD drawings, teach-in, or manual programming. Operators simply start the process, and the system handles sensing, weld planning, and execution automatically.
Using SensLogic® technology and integrated laser sensing, the system scans and senses the structure, identifies weld features, and automatically selects and adjusts welding routines based on real-world geometry.
Yes. Inrotech-WeldLogic™ software automatically detects changes in groove geometry and adapts welding parameters during the process, helping provide consistent quality even with heat deformation.
Each solution is optimized for various applications:
- Inrotech-MicroTwin System: Micro panels, sub-assemblies, T-beams, and bulkheads
- Inrotech-Classic System: Open blocks, large panels, and hatch covers
- Inrotech-Crawler System: Multi-pass welds on heavy plates, large structures
All systems are designed for shipbuilding, offshore, and heavy fabrication environments.
Yes.
- The Inrotech-Crawler system is purpose-built for adaptive multi-pass welding on thick materials.
- The Inrotech-Classic system is primarily for single-pass fillet welds, but supports multi-pass fillet welds as an upgrade.
- The Inrotech-MicroTwin system is primarily single-pass, but supports multi-pass fillet welds as an option.
Inrotech systems support multiple welding positions depending on the solution:
- Inrotech-MicroTwin System: PB and PF (typical panel welding)
- Inrotech-Classic Systems: PB and PF with PD as an option
- Inrotech-Crawler Systems: All positions (PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, PF, 5G, and 6G) for maximum flexibility
Very simple. The operator typically does the following:
- Positions the robot
- Selects boundaries for the weld already pre-defined on the HMI
- Presses start
The systems then scan, plan, and perform the weld automatically, making it a true one-person operation.
One operator can manage multiple systems simultaneously:
- 3–6 Inrotech-Classic systems at once, significantly increasing productivity and arc time.
Yes. Systems can integrate with Lincoln Electric CheckPoint® weld data monitoring for the following:
- Arc time
- Deposition rates
- Equipment efficiency
- Log with all welding parameters and interpass temperature
This enables full production transparency.
Typical requirements include the following:
- 3-phase power
- Shielding gas
- Compressed air
- Internet connection only during remote support (if needed)
Exact specifications depend on the system configuration.
Inrotech solutions are designed for real welding industry conditions:
- Mobile systems (Inrotech-Classic, Inrotech-Crawler) can be moved between work areas
- No fixed installation required (Inrotech-Classic)
- Adapt to variations in geometry, tolerances, and deformation
Key productivity drivers:
- Automated weld planning and execution
- Higher arc time and reduced downtime
- One operator controlling multiple robots
- No programming or setup delays; no need for back-office support
This results in faster throughput and lower labor dependency.
Inrotech-MicroTwin systems as a gantry robot include the following:
- Safety scanners and emergency stops
- Zoning with light curtains or fencing
- Operator-controlled safe zones
This ensures safe operation in automated environments.
Inrotech-Crawler and Inrotech-Classic systems can operate without safety zones.
- Global service engineers
- Fast spare parts delivery
- Training and online support
- Ongoing optimization and process support
Yes. All systems include secure remote access, allowing for the following:
- Troubleshooting issues
- Updating software
- Monitoring system performance
Remote access is fully controlled by the operator.
Minimal. Most operators can run the system after basic training.
We can support:
- Installation and commissioning
- Operator training
- Production ramp-up (2–3 weeks)
