German Technology Partnerships
World-Class Technology Partners: GERIMA & WeldNova
Advantage Plus collaborates with leading German engineering pioneers to bring high-precision edge preparation, beveling automation, and revolutionary single-pass deep penetration welding to Indian industry.
Strategic Synergy
World-Class Tooling Meets Turnkey Robotics
Precision welding automation begins with flawless joint geometry and culminates in high-speed, repeatable arc execution. By combining GERIMA’s world-renowned beveling machines and WeldNova’s patented single-pass welding with Advantage Plus’s robotic integration, Indian manufacturers achieve unmatched throughput, code compliance, and cost savings.
-
Precision Joint Preparation
Perfect weld seams start with precise edge angles and smooth root faces. Eliminate inconsistent manual grinding with high-speed German bevel milling.
-
Revolutionary Single-Pass Welding
Weld steel sections up to 40 mm in a single pass without bevel groove prep, drastically cutting welding time, energy, and consumable costs.
-
Turnkey Indian Delivery
Advantage Plus delivers mechanical integration, heavy positioners, safety cells, robot programming, and lifetime AMC/spares support locally in Gujarat.

GERIMA GmbH — World of Beveling
GERIMA GmbH is the global benchmark for high-quality beveling machines, edge milling tools, and weld preparation systems — from compact mobile units to heavy industrial grinding lines.
Proper joint preparation is the decisive prerequisite for standard-compliant welding (ASME, PED, ISO) and high-quality edge rounding before painting or corrosion coating. GERIMA’s patented innovations replace slow, noisy, and hazardous manual angle grinding with clean, precise, and highly productive mechanical milling.

WeldNova GmbH — Redefining Welding
WeldNova GmbH is a deep-tech engineering spin-off from the German Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) in Berlin, pioneering automated single-pass welding for thick steel sections up to 40 mm.
In heavy fabrication, welding thick steel plates typically requires extensive edge chamfering, multiple passes, manual root runs, and turning heavy workpieces to weld both sides. WeldNova’s patented breakthrough eliminates this multi-layer bottleneck entirely.
The WeldMagnet Innovation
At the heart of WeldNova’s technology is the WeldMagnet — a contactless electromagnetic weld pool backing system that counteracts gravity during high-power laser and laser-hybrid welding. By stabilizing the liquid weld pool magnetically, molten steel cannot drop through, allowing flawless full-penetration butt welds from one single side.
- Single-Pass Full Penetration: Weld up to 40 mm steel plate in one pass with a simple flame-cut/plasma-cut/laser-cut square butt joint — no V or X bevel preparation required.
- Up to 10× Higher Productivity: Replace hours of multi-layer welding with a single, rapid automated pass.
- Minimal Heat Input & Distortion: Narrow weld seam reduces thermal stress, post-weld straightening, and rework.
- Wind energy towers
- Thick-walled pressure vessels
- Shipbuilding & offshore
- Process equipment columns
- Heavy structural fabrication
Conventional Welding vs. WeldNova Single-Pass
How WeldNova transforms thick-plate fabrication economics:
Conventional Method
- Hours of deep groove beveling
- Multiple passes & interpass cleaning
- Turning heavy shells to weld back
- High thermal distortion & rework
WeldNova Single-Pass
- Simple flame-cut edge is sufficient
- Single full-penetration pass
- Welded entirely from one side
- Up to 10× throughput boost
