Welding intelligence that works while you do

PerfectPass-iQ combines adaptive process control, advanced welding algorithms, and decades of production experience to deliver highly repeatable weld quality. 
The system operates based on these core engineering principles: 

• Real-time adjustments: The system continuously analyzes weld conditions and automatically adjusts parameters in real time. The result is predictable, repeatable weld quality.
• Transparent & configurable: Unlike a closed ‘black box’ system, PerfectPass-iQ remains transparent and configurable. Experienced users can develop and fine-tune procedures to match their specific production requirements. 
• Procedure replication: If you already have a proven manual procedure, Rotoweld can reproduce it and weld it automatically. 
• Autonomous adaptive welding: Easily configurable and adjustable to fit your exact requirements. The system is designed to be as straightforward as possible to configure, operate, and optimize. 

Rotoweld's operating software includes an integrated program builder for creating automated welding procedures. The system supports the following industrial materials: 

• Carbon steel 
• Stainless steel (including grades 304, 304L, 316, and 316L) 

Additional alloys can be developed upon request. When a proven GMAW manual procedure already exists, adaptation and validation can typically be completed within a few days.

PerfectPass-iQ features advanced welding technology designed to automatically compensate for imperfect pipe fit-up conditions without manual operator intervention. To achieve optimal weld consistency, the system supports the following joint preparations and applications: 

• Preferred joint preparation: A 37.5° bevel with a 1.5 mm land. The gap can vary from 1.5 mm to 5 mm while maintaining excellent weld consistency. With this specific preparation, the system can handle Hi-Lo of up to half the gap dimension. 
• Knife-edge preparations: Fully supported, including 30° and 37.5° bevels utilizing a specific shielding gas combination. Although tolerance to Hi-Lo and gap variation is reduced compared to the preferred prep, highly repeatable results are still achieved. 
• Specialized stainless welding procedures: Available for specific requirements, including low heat input applications, single-pass Sch 10 welding (where permitted by applicable welding standards), and low-profile cap passes for two-pass requirements. 
• Custom fit-up requirements: The system is very flexible. For unique joint geometries or strict tolerances, custom weld procedures can be developed to meet your specific operational needs.
   

PerfectPass-iQ™ continuously monitors weld conditions and adjusts welding parameters in real time to deliver consistent, repeatable weld quality that meets radiographic testing (RT) and ultrasonic testing (UT) requirements when used with qualified welding procedures.

With Tecnar-Data, every weld becomes a source of actionable information. Tecnar-Data records welding parameters, arc-on time, heat input, and weld videos and links them to individual weld IDs, providing comprehensive traceability, detailed reporting, and valuable quality-control insights.

Rotoweld's operating software includes an integrated program builder that simplifies the creation and optimization of automated welding procedures. Users select the alloy, diameter, wall thickness, wire, gas, and joint preparation details, and Perfectpass-iQ builds the procedure. 

The software platform features several core capabilities: 

• WPS & PQR helper tools: Integrated tools assist welding engineers in organizing and documenting Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS) and Procedure Qualification Records (PQR). 
• Regular software updates: Updates are released regularly and include the latest validated alloys, wires, gases, and optimized welding strategies to continuously expand your production capabilities. 
• Complete flexibility: Users can continuously develop and fine-tune procedures to match their specific production requirements across a wide range of pipe diameters and wall thicknesses. The only consideration is the physical capacity of the selected Rotoweld model. 
• Replicating manual welding procedures: If your shop already has a proven manual procedure, Rotoweld can be fine-tuned with those exact parameters in mind to reproduce and weld it automatically. This replication capability applies to the root pass and filling passes. 
• Process limitation: Manual replication is fully supported for root and filling passes.
