Welding
Texor has extensive expertise in established welding techniques, including TIG, MIG/MAG, and SMAW. These methods are also used in automated and semi-automated processes, such as orbital welding and welding with rotating tables, to ensure consistency and high-quality results.
We operate in accordance with a wide range of welding standards, including ISO 3834-2 and ASME BPE, and comply with key qualifications such as WPS (Welding Procedure Specification) and WPQR (Welding Procedure Qualification Record).
For fully automated welding, Texor works closely with our subsidiary Zetterströms Rostfria, utilizing their laser robotic welding cell to meet the highest demands for precision and repeatability.
Manual Welding
TIG Welding (GTAW)
Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding is a highly precise method ideal for thin materials and applications requiring clean, high-quality welds. TIG welding produces minimal spatter and is well-suited for stainless steels and high-purity systems, making it the preferred choice in life science and hygienic processing industries.
MIG/MAG Welding (GMAW)
Metal Inert Gas (MIG) and Metal Active Gas (MAG) welding are efficient methods for higher deposition rates and strong, durable joints. These semi-automatic processes are commonly used for thicker materials, structural components, and general fabrication work, where speed and productivity are essential.
SMAW (Manual Stick Welding)
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), also known as stick welding, is a versatile, manual process used primarily for maintenance, repairs, and on-site work. It’s suitable for a wide range of materials and is especially effective in environments where access is limited or other methods are not feasible.
Orbital - Pipe Welding
We offers in-house orbital welding for high-precision pipe and tube welding- a method widely used in industries where cleanliness, consistency, and strength are critical, such as life science, pharmaceutical, food, and high-purity process systems.
Orbital welding is a fully or semi-automated TIG (GTAW) process, where the welding arc travels 360° around a stationary pipe, producing repeatable, high-quality welds with minimal operator influence.
To ensure the integrity of every weld, we also performs internal weld inspections using a borescope, allowing for detailed visual verification of weld quality—especially important in systems where internal surface finish and cleanliness are crucial.
Automated & Semi-automated Welding
We also provides automated and semi-automated welding solutions using rotating welding tables, enabling high-quality, consistent welds on components such as vessels, flanges, and cylindrical parts.
This method allows for precise control of weld parameters while maintaining uniform speed and positioning, resulting in strong, repeatable welds with minimal distortion. It is especially effective for larger or more complex components where manual welding may introduce inconsistencies.
By automating rotation and movement while retaining skilled operator oversight, we combines the reliability of automation with the flexibility of manual control – perfect for both custom and series production.
Our setup supports both TIG and MIG/MAG welding, depending on material and application requirements, and ensures that every weld meets the strict standards.
Robot Laser Welding
In collaboration with our subsidiary Zetterströms Rostfria, offers fully automated robotic welding for components requiring the highest levels of precision, speed, and repeatability. This advanced welding cell is equipped to handle both conventional TIG welding and laser welding, allowing us to meet demanding specifications with exceptional efficiency.
Robotic welding is ideal for repetitive tasks, tight tolerances, and complex geometries, delivering uniform, high-quality welds while minimizing heat input and distortion. The integration of laser welding technology enables extremely narrow, clean, and strong weld seams, making it well-suited for thin-walled materials and high-purity applications.
With automated control, real-time parameter monitoring, and the ability to scale production, Zetterströms’s robotic cell is a powerful solution for customers in life science, pharmaceutical, food, and precision engineering industries.
