2. INTRODUCTION:-
● As experienced arc welders become an increasingly scarce
resource and mass production amplifies the need for
consistent product quality, many companies are at a loss.
● They need to weld their parts, but it’s difficult to find skilled
welders who can produce high quality products, let alone
maintain that standard of quality while meeting daily
production goals.
● Industrial revolution 4.0 has made it possible for companies to
experience the quality and consistency of an expert welder on
their best day, every single weld.
3. ROBOTIC WELDING:-
● Robot welding is the use of mechanized programmable tools
(robots), which completely automate a welding process by
both performing the weld and handling the part.
● Processes such as gas metal arc welding, while often
automated, are not necessarily equivalent to robot welding,
since a human operator sometimes prepares the materials to
be welded.
● Robot welding is commonly used for resistance spot welding
and arc welding in high production applications, such as the
automotive industry.
4. SEVEN TYPES OF ROBOTIC WELDING
● Robotic arc welding creates electric arcs between welding units and metal reacts,
heating both sides to their melting points. After this, the metal parts cool and form
together, resulting in a strong metallic bond. This process benefits applications that
require high accuracy and repeatability, such as car manufacturing.
● Robotic resistance welding joins metal pieces using an electric current. This current
creates high levels of heat, causing a pool of molten metal to form between the two
pieces. As the pool cools, the pieces join together. Due to this process’s simplicity,
resistance welding is highly economical.
● Robotic spot welding works similarly to resistance welding, except it operates on
thinner pieces that resist electric currents. Automotive manufacturers commonly use
spot welding to join sheet metal frames on cars.
5. ...
● Robotic TIG welding uses tungsten electrodes to create arcs between welding units and resists.
Because tungsten can’t be consumed, this welding process creates high-quality welds and is the
most precise form of welding.
● Robotic MIG welding uses continuously fed welding wires to create quick, efficient welds. This
process works best for simple welds, and it’s one of the speediest welding techniques.
● Robotic laser welding creates highly accurate welds using supercharged light particles. This
technique benefits applications that rely on highly intricate detailing, including automotive
branding, jewelry making, and medical instrument manufacturing. It also performs welds in
hard-to-reach places that more traditional welding techniques can’t reach.
● Robotic plasma welding feeds ionized gas through a copper nozzle to produce high
temperatures, and it also allows operators to easily control and modify weld temperature and
velocity. These attributes make it ideal for building electronics.
