Welding is a skilled trade that’s been around for centuries. However, the ways companies weld pieces of metal together has changed.
As a custom machine builder in Holland, MI, we’re able to integrate robotic welding with your industrial automation system for higher precision, efficiency, and safety. Please contact us with any questions you may have regarding robotic welding.
Continue reading to learn the other advantages of robotic welding and how we can help.
What Do Welding Robots Do?
We recommend robotic welding for repetitive tasks. That way, you can focus your human workers on tasks that require more skill or thought. Industrial robots are also great for applications where you need quality and speed. Even the best welders occasionally make mistakes. Robots, however, are programmed to always produce quality results.
Industrial robots can be used for both arc and spot welding. Read on to learn how your company could benefit from robotic welding systems. Our team has experience working with a wide range of industries, including yours.
Higher Efficiency
Manual welding takes more time than robotic welding. Many business owners invest in robotic welding systems because they’re more efficient. Compared to laborers, industrial robots are able to weld more metal pieces in less time.
Increased Profits
By running robotic welding machines continuously, you’ll be able to dramatically increase productivity and profit. Since industrial robots are able to repeat tasks with high precision and accuracy, you’ll be able to demand better prices for high-quality goods. Robotic welding also increases throughput so you have more product to sell.
While robotic welding machines are an investment, keep in mind that it also costs money to employ highly skilled laborers. Manual welding doesn’t come cheap because of the time, labor, and hazards involved.
You’ll be able to enjoy more profit when you don’t have to pay the high costs associated with insurance and accidents. Industrial robots improve workplace safety so you have less unexpected costs resulting from injuries.
Less Waste
Even the most experienced welder occasionally makes mistakes, which is why we recommend switching to robotic automation. Industrial robots reduce waste by dramatically reducing how many flaws are created during welding. Our welding robots are programmed to work faster than laborers while producing consistent quality results. We’re able to regulate power, wire, and other elements of welding automation so it works as expected.
Lower Labor Costs
Welding robots don’t take breaks or vacation days, which helps you save money in the long run on labor. While your will still need human supervision, they can run 24 hours a day without interruption. However, keep in mind that your robotic welding systems will need occasional maintenance and repairs to run smoothly.
Safer Workers
Welders work in hazardous environments where they are exposed to heat, sparks, fumes, and flash. Fortunately, you can help improve workplace safety by investing in welding automation. Welding automation protects human workers by reducing how much direct contact they have with the robot and part. An has a slender design that allows it to access hard-to-reach areas.
