Technological precision has been the aim of S&W’s welding and fabrication services since the start – all the way back in 1946.
Traditionally, precision welding meant mastering the MIG and TIG processes manually. While manual welding methods are still integral to many of our projects, S&W’s welding services today are significantly enhanced through the integration of robotic welding technology and automation.
The Advantage of Robotic Welding Services and Factory Automation
Maintaining the level of precision, productivity, and profitability that our customers expect often requires going beyond traditional fabrication methods. While S&W employs some of Pennsylvania region’s finest manual welders and craftsmen, an increasing number of projects require a combination of speed, capacity, and repeatability that demands robotic automation.
For many other projects, setting up a robotic welding program is simply more cost-effective. Automation essentially enables us to produce the volume of products you need precisely when you need them, without any bottlenecks in labor or capacity.
Robotic welding also helps us keep your labor costs lower and more consistent – an advantage that many of our customers expect when they onshore their projects after relying on overseas manufacturers.
