Robotic Technologies of Tennessee
Romulus, Michigan collaborative-welding robotics company founded 2007 in Tennessee; SwitchWeld cobot has welded steel in shipyards and metal shops since 2016.
Robotic Technologies of Tennessee (RTT) was founded in 2007, growing out of robotics research at a Tennessee technical university, and lists its current headquarters at 11701 Metro Airport Center Drive, Suite 110, Romulus, Michigan. The company designs collaborative welding equipment for steel and ferrous-metal fabrication and holds multiple US patents covering cobot-based welding.
In 2015 RTT partnered with University of Tennessee spinout Smokey Robotics, combining RTT's weld motion-planning software with a collaborative robot arm introduced in 2014, to build the SwitchWeld system; production welding with SwitchWeld has continued since 2016, and the system was shown publicly at the Fabtech trade show in 2018. SwitchWeld runs on existing welding power supplies, including Miller DeltaWeld units in its Plus configuration, and includes an ArcAdvisor feature that calculates weld parameters for a given joint, tracing lines, curves, circles, and weave patterns at controlled speeds.
RTT's product lines cover collaborative welding, mobile welding, general manufacturing, and inspection equipment, serving shipbuilders, civil-structure fabricators, and custom metal shops across the United States.
