Robotic welding was initially developed in the late 1970’s in Japan and found its way to America in the early 1980’s.  Those robotic welders were very specialized and not very common to see.  Today’s robotic welders are quite different from their earlier ancestors, which is a good thing.  As popular as robotic welding has become, manual welding is still quite prevalent.

 

Here are three advantages robotic welding has over manual welding

 

Increased Cycle Times

Increased cycle times translates to more parts per hour.  Depending on the part, a robotic welder can produce up to 3x as many parts per hour as a manual welder.

 

Reduced Lead Times

The increased cycle time of the robotic welder, as discussed above, means parts ship faster.

 

Enhancing Part Quality

Even the most talented welders will weld parts with some variability. While these variations are negligible, robotic technology allows fabricators to enhance the consistency and quality of metal products.

By deploying robotic welding solutions, manufacturers can ensure that customers receive high-quality parts that meet or exceed requested specifications!
