Halter Marine orders welding robots from Danish company

(ODENSE, Demark and PASCAGOULA, Miss.) — The Danish company Inrotech has received an order for an extensive set of welding robots for shipbuilding in the United States. The Inrotech MicroTwin, Inrotech Classic and Inrotech Crawler were purchased by Halter Marine in Pascagoula, Miss., and will be used during construction of U.S. Coast Guard’s new polar security cutter (PSC). The 460-foot vessel will support U.S. national interests in Arctic and Antarctic waters.

Inrotech’s automated robot welding solution is specifically customized according to Halter Marine’s production needs to efficiently weld the PSC along with a variety of other oceangoing vessels.
