 Abstract:
Throughout the pipeline industry, and particularly in offshore and spool base production, welding requirements are shifting towards higher quality, greater accuracy and more precision. At the same time, everyone is concerned with pushing productivity levels beyond the old ideas of normal. Only a new technology can address both of these needs and developing an engineering solution for this trend in the industry is a complex process. As the world leader in pipeline welding, CRC-Evans Automatic Welding is in a unique position to achieve a breakthrough by introducing a new category of welding process and equipments that uses this advanced laser technology. This new category of laser inspection and welding systems includes the bevel inspection  V Bevel, fully automatic purge control system  V Purge, root inspection  V Root, external welding machine  V Weld and cap inspection  V Cap. All have laser vision technology incorporated with CRCs state of the art technology which makes it the first of its kind to be ever used in this field.
