What is a welding robot? What are its characteristics and advantages? It is not difficult to find that welding robots have appeared in many modern production workshops. Welding robots have the functions of stabilizing welding quality, improving welding efficiency, and realizing intelligent filling of welds. Next, the welding robot manufacturer Wuxi Jinhongying will introduce the meaning of welding robots, as well as their characteristics and advantages.

What is a welding robot?

As the name suggests, a welding robot is a device that can automatically weld workpieces without the need for human intervention during the welding process. It can be used to replace traditional welding, achieve stable welding during the welding process, increase the speed of the welding production line, and possesses a variety of scientific and technological capabilities to improve the level of automation and intelligence in welding operations.

Features of welding robot:

1. The welding robot has a compact structure, small inertia, multi-joint type, and a relatively large range of action. The welding robot moves faster.

2. Use better control systems and respond faster;

3. It can ideally speed up the operation and save working time.

4. The fully independent multi-joint robot is equipped with an intelligent welding manipulator with a larger range of motion than the original robot.

5. Six degrees of freedom can ensure that the welding gun always has the appropriate posture to meet the requirements of the welding process. The larger the range of important joints, the more conducive it is to meet the process requirements through posture control.

Advantages of welding robots:

1. Improve welding efficiency. Welding robots can work without stopping or resting. At the same time, the reaction time of welding robots is very short and the movements are fast. They can complete large quantities of work in a shorter time, so welding robots are more suitable for batch welding production.

2. Stabilize and improve the welding quality of workpieces. The welding robot has relatively high requirements for welding accuracy. Through the control system, the control system issues instructions and sets welding parameters according to the specifications of the weld and the distance between the welding gun and the weldment. The welding gun can be controlled to weld the weld accurately and put down just the right welding material for filling. The weld is beautiful and firm.

3. Reduce enterprise costs. If an enterprise wants to obtain higher profits, it needs to ensure low-cost and high-efficiency work. The operation of welding robots can realize automated production. Operators only need to set system parameters to perform automated welding work. According to the actual production situation of the enterprise, one operator can operate multiple welding robots at the same time, reducing the labor cost of the enterprise.

4. Long service life. Welding robots are mechanical equipment. With the continuous development of science and technology and welding technology in my country, the service life of welding robots can be as long as decades. During use, users only need to perform simple maintenance to stabilize the welding quality and extend the service life.

5. Alleviate the problem of difficulty in recruiting workers. Welding workers belong to special types of work, and there are relatively few people engaged in manual welding. The labor of welding robots can offset the labor efficiency of multiple workers. Under the same welding task, welding robots can complete the welding task faster while ensuring the welding quality.

6. High safety factor. The use of robots in production can ensure the safety of workers to a greater extent. Accidents will not occur due to negligence or fatigue at work. In a survival workshop that requires shift work, physiological fatigue is more likely to occur at night, leading to safety accidents. The use of robots can ensure safe production. In addition, some of the more dangerous types of work are performed by automatic welding robots, which have higher accuracy, higher stability and stronger safety, which can ensure the safety of personnel.

7. Easy to manage. In the past, due to staff issues, it was difficult for the company to accurately guarantee daily production. Using robots for production not only reduces the number of employees, but also makes employee management more convenient.

Welding robots are good partners for our work, and can flexibly handle cutting and welding operations of various workpieces. It is just a substitute for completing some repetitive actions, and the same is true for welding robots. As long as welding robots can be used, they have the advantages of high efficiency, good molding, and easy management.
