A shipbuilder at HII’s Ingalls Shipbuilding division operates an HD Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) intelligent mechanized welding machine in the panel line production facility at Ingalls. The shipbuilder closely monitors the machine as it creates a horizontal weld joining two bulkheads together, using magnets and guide wheels to stay aligned on the joint. The equipment is deployed at Ingalls as part of a pilot program expanding intelligent mechanized welding capabilities at the shipyard.
