United Robotics is proud to announce that we have partnered with TipTig USA to provide robotic automation integrations for TipTig products.

Unique to ABB, this revolutionary new, patent pending technology integrates user-friendly robotics with the TIP-TIG process, enhancing its higher travel speed, lower heat input and better quality welding advantages. Some of the welding and customer benefits for using TipTig include:

• Highest deposition rates for any TIG process available on the market
• Slag free; No interpass cleaning for increased arc on time and weld...

United Robotics would like to congratulate Irving Polanco on his promotion to Robotic Integration Manager!

Irving joined URI in July of 2015 as a Robotic Technician and has been an integral member of the team. He started out assisting with fabrication, installation and robotic programming and has since moved his way in to robotic training, safety system installation & programming and field service & support.

Irving will manage scheduling and implementation of our installations and be our key contact for customer support.

We thank you for helping make our company...
