Improve the Health of Your Welding Operations by Using the Most Modern Technology

K-TIG systems, turnkey welding packages, and advanced integrated welding systems give you repeatable results that help you achieve:

  • Hygienic / Sanitary Welds
  • Zero Gap
  • Less Distortion
  • Better Internal Finishes

Our technology provides you with smooth welded joints in bio-pharma vessels that are optimised for the highest standards. The quality of our welds also makes it easier to clean production equipment, inhibit bacteria growth and eliminate the probability of spatter that can compromise product quality and lead to costly recalls.

For Keyhole TIG Welding Solutions that can be customized to any environment where superior hygiene and maximum efficiency are critical to meeting regulatory requirements and business goals, use the contact form below to tell us about your application.

What is Keyhole TIG Welding?

K-TIG, or Keyhole Tungsten Inert Gas, is a highly refined variation of TIG/GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) initially developed by Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) and perfected by the team at K-TIG.

We innovated the CSIRO’s technological breakthrough and turned it into a viable, industry-ready welding system.

Keyhole TIG welding relies on an arc with a high energy density focused on a small area. This results in deeper and narrower penetration.

What do I need to make the system work?

A K-TIG welding system is delivered as a fully integrated welding system comprising the K-TIG 1000 controller, torch, power supply, water cooler, wire feeder and torch mount and all associated cabling to enable you to be integration ready.

With a TIG welding system, you get a flexible system that offers:

A stand-alone system and components

Turnkey Welding cells

Integrated, customised solutions featuring optimal use of partners’ technologies/know-how

The only additional requirement for a stand alone K-TIG system is a form of automation to provide steady consistent travel speed and a rigid torch mount. This is still flexible and can be almost any kind of welding automation, such as rotators, positioners, turntables, seamers, carriages, robots, columns and booms and many others.

During commissioning, the K-TIG controller can be integrated with your automation equipment to ensure the welding process is as seamless as possible.
