Welding Robots Applications For Assisting The Human

Welding robot is a mechanized programmable tools which is used to automate the welding process by both performing the weld and handling the part. Robot-based automation increases the efficiency of welding processes which is able to produce more products in a very less time and least cost.


Welding process by the robot is used to increase the quality and meet production requirements of the product. There are so many applications of welding robots which are assisting by their different ways in different fields.


Let’s check out some welding robots applications that are used:


Arc Welding:
If we are talking about the welding robots applications then Arc welding comes first in the list. It uses an electric arc between an electrode and a metal base using either consumable or non-consumable electrodes. You will always see the best use of welding robots in steel product and automobile manufacturing. It’s a process that is used to apply intense heat to the metal at a joint. It has several benefits such as decreased cycle times, enhanced efficiency and improved weld consistency.
Electron Beam Welding:
It’s a synthesis welding process that is used to join two materials by using a beam of high-velocity electrons. The beam produces the kinetic energy which transforms into heat upon impact, melting the work pieces and connecting them with a fusion weld. Many used welding robots are also used to weld in medium or non-vacuum conditions. There are several used robots models available that can perform electronic beam welding such as used Fanuc robots.
Flux Cored Welding:
It is also known as flux cored arc welding (FCAW). It’s a welding process that requires a continuously-fed consumable electrode containing a flux and a constant-voltage. Its high welding speed increase the productivity with very least cost. It was developed as an alternative to shielded metal arc welding which is used on stainless steels, low alloy steels and some wear facing/surfacing alloy.
Laser Welding:
It is one of the highest using welding’s by robots. It has multi-axis mechanical arm along with a laser cutting head mounted to the faceplate of the robot arm. Apart from that it has a gas delivery package for distributing the gas as oxygen or nitrogen. Most organizations use a laser generator to deliver the laser light to the robot cutting head through a fiber-optic cable. With the help of this laser welding, manufacturers gets a high quality wield.
Plasma Cutting:
Plasma cutting is procedure of high-velocity ionized gas that is known as Plasma to heat and melt metals. It is used to cut the steel or a non-ferrous material less than one inch thick. The process delivers a high quality cut with faster travel speed. It is able to create great shape and angle as well as smooth surface.
The list of Welding robots applications is too large because it offers so many applications such as Mig Welding, Plasma Welding, Spot Welding, Resistance Welding and much more. These applications are used in different manner in different fields but one thing is common that is to provide more productivity with least amount.
