The Indian equipment has been developed indigenously by HAL with help of other vendors, HAL Chairman R K Tyagi said in a statement here today.
India and Russia are the only two countries having this facility which was inaugurated yesterday by Minister of State for Defence Jitendra Singh.
The Indian MCW system at HAL is unique as it offers both robotic and human (manual) welding in argon atmosphere while the Russian welding is carried out only manually, he said.
