A welding workshop with multiple varieties and small batches, frequent workpiece changes, difficult recruitment, long training cycles, and unstable weld quality are common challenges faced by equipment supervisors. Collaborative welding robots have attracted attention from many factories due to their flexible deployment and fast start-up.
In terms of application scenarios, collaborative welding robots are suitable for small and medium-sized structural components, racks, sheet metal parts, and other scenarios. Paired with non teaching welding robot technology, it can reduce teaching time, support positioning and weld seam tracking, and adapt to incoming material deviations. If the workpiece is long, ground rail or seven axis cantilever can be considered; When the batch is stable, a single machine workstation for welding robots is more suitable.
In terms of advantages, collaborative robots have a smaller installation area, can share workstations with people, and are more convenient for switching products. Ordinary welders can operate after training, alleviating the shortage of welders. Under continuous operation, the consistency of welds is good, reducing the need for rework. The calculation of this cycle should be based on shifts, production capacity, and workpiece pace, and should not be generalized.
Landing suggestion: First select one or two typical workpieces for trial welding to verify the quality and rhythm of the weld seam; Further determine the layout of single machine workstations or dual machine collaboration, and reserve expansion interfaces. When selecting, pay attention to whether the manufacturer provides process packages, fixture solutions, and after-sales response. After a certain processing plant switched from manual welding to collaborative welding, both the changeover time and repair rate have been improved, but the specific effect varies depending on the working conditions.
MenLuck welding robots can provide trial welding and scheme evaluation. Welcome to inquire about automated welding solutions, configured according to your workpiece and production capacity.
