Robot welding is an automated manufacturing method that uses mechanised programmable tools (robots) to perform the welding process.
The robot is programmed to control the welding torch and complete the weld according to a specific set of instructions. Although the welding itself is carried out by the robot, a human welder still controls and supervises the process.
Once programmed, the robot welds to the same dimensions and specifications to ensure every workpiece is identical.
What’s more, a robotic welder is capable of welding complicated shapes and can be programmed to weld 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This greatly improves productivity and efficiency, while guaranteeing consistently high-quality results.
Even the most experienced professionals can’t replicate the speed and repeatability that can be achieved with robot welding.
Robots can be used to perform a variety of welding techniques such as spot, TIG and MIG welding.
