Report profile

Company description

The firefly is commonly referred to as a welding bug or weld head. Firefly is a tool to be used by welders. It is not a robot! We believe welding is a skilled trade, so you need to be a welder to use Firefly effectively. Firefly is primarily intended as an orbital welding system to be used for pipeline welding applications in the oil, gas and water industries. Firefly has also been successfully used in other industries such as wind jacket manufacture. Firefly can be used where there is a high level of weld repeatability - linear and orbital and in all gravity positions. The purpose of the firefly system is to improve the productivity of the welder by continually producing a consistent weld result. We believe this gives our customers a competitive edge in today’s ever demanding economic climate.
