Robotic Welding
There are two popular types of industrial welding robots. The two are
articulating robots and rectilinear robots. Robotics control the movement of a
rotating wrist in space. A description of some of these welding robots are
described below:
Rectilinear robots move in line in any of three axes (X, Y, Z). In addition to linear
movement of the robot along axes there is a wrist attached to the robot to allow
rotational movement. This creates a robotic working zone that is box shaped.
Articulating robots employ arms and rotating joints. These robots move like a
human arm with a rotating wrist at the end. This creates an irregularly shaped
robotic working zone.
There are many factors that need to be considered when setting up a robotic
welding facility. Robotic welding needs to be engineered differently than manual
welding. Some of the consideration for a robotic welding facility are listed
below:

Accuracy and repeatability

Maintenance

Number of axes

Controls

Reliability

Weld monitors

Fixtures

Arc welding equipment

Programming

Positioners

Seam tracking systems

Part transfer

A robotic welding system may

perform more repeat ably than a
manual welder because of the
monotony of the task. However,
robots may necessitate regular
recalibration or reprogramming.

Robots should have the number of axes necessary to permit the proper range of
motion. The robot arm should be able to approach the work from multiple
angles.
Robotic welding systems are able to operate continuously, provided appropriate
maintenance procedures are adhered to. Continuous production line

interruptions can be minimized with proper robotic system design. Planning for
the following contingencies needs to be completed:

Rapid substitution of the inoperable robots.

Installing backup robots in the production line

Redistributing the welding of broken robots to functioning robots close by

What are the advantages of robot welding over manual welding?

is a process where two materials are fused together through heating,
intermixing, and then cooling the materials and/or a filler to form a strong join.
Fromarc welding to spot welding, new and used welding robots are typically used
in welding processes where the weld required is repetitive and quality and speed
are crucial. Robotic welding is an automated process that increases efficiencies &
consistencies.
There are several advantages to automating a factory with welding robotics,
including faster, consistent cycle times, no break in production, and better weld
quality.
Robotic weld cells work productively because they can work without breaks or
days off. A robot welder is more consistent and thorough and can move from one
weld to the next quickly, speeding up the entire process.
Basically, by using welding robotic automation, the process takes less time, and
manufacturers can cut the cost of direct labor and safety and conserve
materials:
Taking Less Time:
Robotic welding systems will get the job done quickly. Whether you have new or
used welding robots, they have fewer mistakes than manual welding. Unlike
laborers, robots don't require breaks, vacations, etc. Your work can continue
without interruption, 24/7. This in turn, will increase your throughput &
productivity.
Cut the Cost of Direct Labor & Safety:
The cost of manual welding can be steep. It requires time, skill and
concentration. It is also dangerous. Welding is a very dangerous application.
Flash, fumes, sparks and heat make manual welding a taxing and hazardous job.
With robotic welding, you will protect workers and reduce costs. These systems
endure the hazards and often increase production. Insurance and accident
related costs are reduced considerably.
Conserve Materials:
Even the most skilled welders make mistakes. However, with new and used
welding robotics, everything is regulated, including power and wire. Automated
used welding robotic systems conserve energy by running consistently (fewer

start-ups). Plus, the weldments that are created are extremely consistent. The
accuracy of robot systems means there is less wasted material and time.
Conserve your material and increase your product quality at the same time!
Some companies switch to robotic welding applications gradually, starting with a
single welding cell and slowly converting to an automated welding process.
Robots can be helpful when access to a part is limited or difficult to reach.
Manufacturers have created designs that allow for a slender robotic arm to reach
smaller areas.
Worried About Justifying the Cost? A quick look at the ROI makes it clear,
how can you justify NOT investing in robotic welding? RobotWorx also offers
used welding robots at a fraction of the price of a new welding robot.

ADVANTAGES

Welded joints are greater in strength.

The process are noiseless.
Welded joint can easily be repaired
Welded joints have low intial cost.
Less matching is required after welding.

DISADVANTAGES

Welded joints can not be used for collision and vibration.

Welded joints can not be assembled and reassembled.
