Earlier this year, Navus was awarded a contract by General Dynamics Electric Boat for the manufacture, test, installation, and support of production robotic weld systems to be used for the welding of the Missile Tube of the Common Missile Compartment in the Ohio Replacement Submarine. In August, Navus delivered the first set of robotic weld systems to General Dynamics Electric Boat.

The unprecedented welding project was designed to move the robotic welding workcell 20 yards into position in a dangerous environment. The multi-task robot effectively preps joints, welds, provides inter-pass cleaning, and vacuums welds remotely from an operator's console that utilizes a live monitor and a HD camera for post inspection.

Navus provides state-of-the-art robotic welding and cutting machine design and integration, programming and controls automation, and custom fabrication to some of the finest companies in sectors including:

• Defense

• Shipbuilding

• Aerospace

• Automotive

• Power

• Medical

• Glass Forming

• Consumer Manufacturing
