Robotic Welding - The Process

 

What are the advantages of robotic welding?

High-quality, durable, smooth, accurate welding seams

Contemporary welding robots ensure constant first-class quality, needed quantity, and maximum accuracy. Automatic robot welding equipment makes no mistakes and provides precise positioning with an accuracy of 0.03-0.05 mm. 

A robot welder  can easily reach any point of a workpiece regardless of the complexity of the geometry. Also, a robotic welding arm can move in sync with the positioner in a robotic cell, which provides weld consistency and smoothness.

Arc time

Arc time is the time spent actually welding during welding works, expressed as a percentage. On average, a welding robot's Arc Time is 70-90%, and that of a human is 10-30%. A robot welder is 3-5 times more effective. 

Savings on consumables

In addition, robotic welding also saves money on consumables:

10% on wire (welding robots use the precise parameters needed, while a human often uses a bit more than necessary)

10% on gas (welding robots are also more accurate in gas consumption)

30% on grinding welds after finishing welding (after robotic welding, grinding is either not needed at all, or the need is significantly less)

Types of Welding Robots. Industrial Robots and Cobots

There are two types of robots — industrial robots and collaborative robots (cobots). Six-axis industrial robots have been used in production for a long time. Collaborative robots appeared relatively recently, their key difference is the ability to work together with a person. They are equipped with special sensors, which do not allow them to harm humans coworkers. Usually, collaborative robots are small in size (compared to a human). In 2021, out of 517,000 robots sold in the world, 39,000 of them were collaborative ones. 

 There are also welding collaborative robots. However, if your priorities are speed and accuracy, opt for industrial robots. They are also a better fit when it comes to welding.
