The Advantages of Robotic Welding

Robotic Welding Collaborative Welding

With the welding trade facing significant skill shortages and technology continuing to revolutionise every facet of the industrial and manufacturing industries, Robotic Welding can be the solution to many small and large businesses within the welding trades.

Robotic Welding offers many advantages that outweigh the immediate upfront cost and can assist the manufacturing industry in overcoming the challenge of skill shortages while introducing new efficiencies to organisations.

Safety

Having a Robotic Welding System can greatly reduce the risk to workers. It reduces exposure to UV light and to carcinogens found in welding materials. It also removes the risk of burns and electrocution, which are common injuries within the welding industry.

Consistent, High Quality Welds

The success of welding relies on the quality of materials and the consistency of workflow. A Robotic Welding System can consistently perform exceptionally high quality and efficient welds; programming can allow for this to occur without breaks, thus outweighing even the most experienced professionals. They have the capability of working 24/7, and can operate at a much faster speed than a human, leading to higher output.

Reduced Waste

Mistakes can happen, and over time can be the cause of wasted materials and more time spent on reworks. Robotic Welding, once programmed with set specifications, can operate with precise execution, eliminating reworks, and thus wasted material. You have control over how much material goes into each weld, also eliminating cost variations.

High return on investment

While the initial cost of a Robotic Welding System is high, once up and running, the system can run continuously and without the need to hire additional welders. Long term, with a lower risk of injury to workers, having a reduction of waste, all with a system that can operate continuously, the overall cost of the product is reduced and can provide an excellent return on investment.

Flexibility

With many installations and accessories available, a Robotic Welding System can be adapted to your need. From a fully automated production line with multiple welders working together, to a cobot system, where man and machine operate together.
