Robotic Welding Automation: Myths and Reality

Even with the huge improvement that have been done in the last few years, most people think that welding automation is still more akin to rocket science. Automated welding systems are getting easier to use and their price is dropping. These two facts have a cause and effect relationship resulting in an historic augmentation of robotic use in welding processes. During the 90’s, the number of new arc welding robots in North America grew at an average annual rate of 12%. As we entered into the 2000’s, this rate accelerated to 32%. This means that this application is not only suitable for big industrial plants, but also for smaller workshops that are using robots to get the job done. Yet, the decision to jump into automation remains risky. Have a look at the different myths and realities that are often brought up when considering welding automation.
