High-rate, lower cost and uniform quality CNC-robotic weld profiling in
wind turbine support structures
Latest news
Research says ‘yes’ to replacing weld grinding with machining
We asked two Danish research and technology organisations (RTO) to analyse and characterise our MAX TM401 weld profiling robot technology and to compare it to manual weld grinding in terms of how it affects the material properties in welds.
MAX is back in the workshop for its next iteration upgrade
Upgrades to both its hydraulics, electronics and chatter suppression unit will further increase the performance of the MAX TM401 weld profiling robot for high rate, lower cost and uniform quality fatigue strength improvement in wind turbine support structures.
Alpha testing of our chatter suppression solution completed. Patent application filed
Our proprietary chatter suppression solution prevents resonance vibration and ensures productivity and quality in weld profiling and fatigue strength improvement across weld geometries.

Reduce cost of weld profiling by up to 80 %
Project simulations and Machine Rate Calculations suggests that the 20-fold increase in productivity over manual weld profiling delivered by our MAX TM401 robot translates into an up to 80 percent reduction in cost per meter weld profiling compared to manual belt and disc grinding.
We know that actual and project specific weld profiling cost reductions delivered by the TM401 may vary, depending on several factors. We invite you to meet and together calculate possible cost savings to your wind turbine support structure project(s).
