Robotic welding

Welding with a robot. What is a welding robot? What advantages does a robot have? When is it an appropriate time? What can you do with an industrial robot? How do you deploy a robot? Can you do more than welding with a robot?

What is a robot?

A welding robot is an automated system that takes over the tasks of a welder, increasing efficiency and precision. The process usually involves offline programming with opportunities for online corrections. This closed-loop system requires significant investment and annual maintenance. Welding robots operate statically and unidirectionally, making them ideal for repetitive tasks with minimal variability. The technology allows companies to increase productivity while human welders can focus on more complex tasks, creating a win-win situation between automation and craftsmanship.

Why welding with a robot?

Do you also have these questions:
  • When do you choose to weld with a robot?
  • What does the robot bring? What does it add to the production process?
  • For which companies is this interesting? 
  • For what productions is this interesting?
  • For what welding work is this interesting?
  • What kind of person will work with the robot?

We would like to invite you for a cup of coffee to talk about it in detail.

Elektrolas System Integrator for ABB

After successfully completing dozens of Cobot integration projects in recent years, Elektrolas is also going to help its customers with robotic solutions in the welding shop.

ABB Robitcs and Elektrolas both have the drive to deliver the best technical solution for the manufacturing industry. A driven group of techies who together seek the best solution for every challenge. The cooperation of these ambitious companies is interesting because of the bundled knowledge. Welding and automation are two things that will have a lot to do with each other in the coming years. The Elektrolas training center will also play an important role in the collaboration.

Differences between a cobot and a welding robot

A robot and a cobot differ in their functions and applications in different ways. A robot often operates in isolation and requires offline programming, while a cobot works with the welder and is programmed online. Robots are often built on closed systems with high investment and regular maintenance. In contrast, cobots are based on open source systems, have a lower investment threshold and require minimal arm maintenance. While robots are static, cobots are mobile and multifunctional, making them flexible in different environments. In short, cobots foster collaboration and are more cost-effective than traditional robots.

You are welcom for a demonstration

Our welding technicians will work with you to determine which welding solution is suitable for your production. Also how it can best be integrated into your welding workshop. With our knowledge of welding technology and as system integrator of ABB Robotics and Universal Robots, we can advise any metal company on the integration of a robot or a cobot.We deliver the robot to you turnkey. We can write programs for you. And we train and guide your employees. For acute questions or extra support we can be reached by phone. Do you have an issue for which the robot might be the solution? Come and see us for a demo. Please make an appointment in advance.
