Case Study: Harder Mechanical boosts welding productivity with Novarc Technologies’ Spool Welding Robot

With over 8 decades of experience, Harder Mechanical is a large nationally recognized contractor with an outstanding reputation

Harder Mechanical, a nationally recognized mechanical contractor, was facing a significant shortage of skilled welders and needed a solution to maintain productivity and quality. They investigated welding automation options and chose the Spool Welding Robot (SWR) from Novarc Technologies Inc.

By implementing Novarc's SWR, Harder Mechanical was able to utilize junior welders and even apprentices to achieve x-ray quality welds, directly combating the labor shortage. The results included a 0% repair rate, a dramatic increase in productivity to over 200 Factored Diameter Inches, and major time savings on specific tasks like welding stainless steel.
