Welding Automation

Welding automation leads to increased production, improved quality, workplace safety, and reduced production costs. Integrating robots into the manufacturing process results in overall speeding up and maintaining quality standards for performed operations. Robotics also reduces the risk of injuries to employees.

For welding, we can use a wide range of methods (MIG/MAG, TIG, resistance, laser welding). It depends on the material properties, product characteristics, and other variables. Robotic welding can be used for both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

A major benefit of robotic welding is the high quality of the welds, which exceeds manual welding. When designing and manufacturing welding equipment, it is necessary to consider that welding occurs in a light-tight chamber to protect the operator. Sufficient fume extraction must also be ensured outside the workstation, or a filtration system can be used to purify the air.

Automated welding can be provided by special-purpose machines and for more complex production tasks by assembly lines. Products can be transported between individual operations using a conveyor belt or other types of conveyors. To guide robots, perform weld quality control, and carry out other tasks, a machine vision system can be installed. Also, various measuring systems are used for precise manufacturing processes. To accelerate logistics, robotic palletizing and inter-process handling are used.
