BENEFITS

Keyhole TIG welding is a game changer!Keyhole TIG (K-TIG) welding is a revolutionary technology that eliminates the constraints and inefficiencies of traditional TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. Industries including pipe fabrication, pressure vessel making, defence and maritime construction can make exponential gains in productivity by employing K-TIG welding.

Some benefits of K-TIG welding include major cost savings, significant productivity gains in welding times and speeds, significant savings in materials and labour costs, impressive quality improvements, along with environmental and OH&S benefits. The best news is, with this new technology comes competitive advantages, with the security of knowing the technology is tried and tested, with a proven track record of industry success.

Major savings include weld times of less than one tenth of traditional TIG welding, with a fraction of the cost in materials and power. The automated system also means eliminating the need for expensive highly-skilled welders.

Increased speed through reduced preparation time, including butt joins in most materials up to 16mm thick. K-TIG welding can perform large welds with a single pass, in minutes rather than hours, thereby reducing supply times from weeks to days.

Improved quality of welds, with no filler material for welds up to 5mm thick. This reduces corrosion risks by providing cleaner welds and the K-TIG controller automatically records and indexes the welding process, with secure cloud-based reporting for reviewing up-to-the-minute, from anywhere in the world.

Enhanced productivity is clear, as K-TIG welding can deliver many more TIG welds in a single day, while reducing the number of faults through fast and precise welds. K-TIG also reduces the cost of maintaining your inventory of TIG-welding products and consumables.

Environmental benefits include greener welds through using less embedded energy and consumables. K-TIG welding also underpins better OH&S compliance through quicker welds and reduced need for welding both sides of the material, whilst K-TIG torches can reach places that are inaccessible to regular TIG welders.

Greater opportunities as K-TIG welding easily handles traditionally difficult materials such as titanium. It also opens new markets which traditional TIG welding is inefficient for, whilst equipping your plant to respond faster to market demands.

Rapid return on investment can be achieved with increased throughput, productivity and profitability. K-TIG welding also reduces your cost-of-sales and increases your return rates whilst providing a major competitive advantage in the current marketplace.

Proven success with industry has been demonstrated, as K-TIG is already being used by major companies. K-TIG is currently being used for pipe spooling, pipe production and ship construction. K-TIG welding was developed by the Australian Government’s CSIRO research agency, with over 15 years of extensive industry-based testing and academic peer review.

Early competitive advantage can be achieved with K-TIG’s proprietary patent-protected technology now. As K-TIG welding is in the early commercial adoption stage, it offers major benefits to organisations implementing now, before the technology becomes an industry-standard, which is almost certain to occur over the proceeding years.
