Utilization of Robots for Supporting Modern Welding Technology in Indonesia

A. Definition of Welding Robot

• Welding robot is a modern technology whose welding is done by robot power so that
welding can be more effective and efficient.

(so welding robot is welding done not by human power and the results are also very
good)

• Welding robots are modern mechanisms, which are characterized by flexibility of action,
as well as high-speed transitions to new operations.

(so this welding robot is very flexible so the results are very good)

• The main reason for using robots is because, robots under certain conditions (minimum
operating requirements are met) can be ideal workers, robots have a high degree of
accuracy and efficiency, and more important is low operating costs with higher output.

• Robot is usually used for heavy duty, dangerous, and repetitive or dirty work.

(so by robots welding work more safely controlled)

B. Advantages of Welding Robots

 Safe working conditions, because the person is not in the welding area.

(so it is safer compared to manual welding)

 Universality and accuracy of stitches without the risk of losing quality.

(so the results are satisfying)

 Save time, the robotic welding system does its job quickly.

(So it's safer, faster and less error than manual welding)

 Cost-effective, This is because welding requires time, skill and concentration.

 Saving material, Welding robots save energy because they do the job consistently. The
accuracy and consistency of this robot means welding material and time are saved.

C. Weaknesses of the Welding Robot

 Significant need for training robot programming and maintenance personnel.

 Hard tolerance for assembly and position.

  The need to reconstruct the process of preparing spare parts for welding.

D. Conclusions

 Robots are mechanical devices that can perform certain tasks to help humans.

 Welding robots have advantages, such as improving welding quality, increasing

productivity, reducing welding costs, increasing repeated welding consistency,
minimizing human input for selection of welding parameters, trajectory of robot motion,
and error detection and correction.

 The use of modern technology welding robots is more cost effective, guaranteed security,
effective and efficient as well as highly productive welding accuracy.
