Assessing a welding process will determine if it is a good fit for robotic automation. If robotic welding is suitable for a welding process it will increase precision and productivity.
- When should robots be used for welding?
- Robots work well for repetitive tasks or similar pieces that involve welds in more than one axis or where access to the pieces is difficult.
- Why robot welding?
- Robot welding improves weld repeatability.
- With robot welding you can also get an increased output.
- Not only does a robot work faster, the fact that a fully equipped and optimized robot cell can run for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year without breaks makes it more efficient than a manual weld cell.
- Robotic welding also reduces risk by moving the human welder/operator away from hazardous fumes and molten metal close to the welding arc.
- What welding processes are suitable for robot welding?
