Increase precision in many welding applications

Are you suffering from a shortage of skilled workers, would you like to further expand your capacities or increase the precision of your welding work? Then a collaborative robot is just the thing for you.

Collaborative robots can be used for arc, TIG, laser, plasma, ultrasonic and spot welding, as well as for soldering tasks. The collaborative robot is completely flexible in use. Simply increase the efficiency of your production and handle more jobs.

What challenges does a collaborative robot have to overcome during welding?

Challenges in the application

High precision

Welding requires precise work. This is the only way to ensure consistent quality and save material. The collaborative robot always works with the necessary pressure and distance. It never tires and can therefore deliver the same quality 24/7.

Skills shortage

There is a major shortage of skilled workers, particularly in application areas that require a lot of welding work. This means that not all order requests can be met and the potential is not fully exploited. A collaborative robot must therefore do its job well and independently.

Protection of employees

Protect your employees and leave these dangerous tasks to the collaborative robots.
Thanks to the collaborative properties of the robots, they can usually be used alongside your employees without protective equipment.

Flexible working methods

Small series are often produced. This is where another advantage of the lightweight robots from Universal Robots comes into play: their great flexibility. You can assign the collaborative robot to another workstation at any time and thus also produce small series.
