Metal Forming for Transportation and Defense in Lima, OH

While peo­ple may not con­sid­er Lima, Ohio a town with boom­ing indus­try, there are some man­u­fac­tur­ing com­pa­nies in the city that are sup­ply­ing much need­ed jobs and ser­vices to the larg­er Ohio area.

Two of these com­pa­nies are work­ing hard to sup­ply met­al works for trans­porta­tion and the defense indus­try, two very impor­tant indus­tries in this coun­try. These indus­tries need parts and ser­vices quick­ly to keep up with the high demand of their mar­ket, and that is why com­pa­nies that serve them use robots to improve the speed of their production.

Com­pa­nies like Gen­er­al Dynam­ics of Lima, OH, works as a defense con­trac­tor for the Unit­ed States mil­i­tary. They build com­bat vehi­cles and sys­tems, aero­space sys­tems, muni­tions and even ships and oth­er marine sys­tems. A com­pa­ny like Gen­er­al Dynam­ics would do well to invest in robot­ic welders to per­form all the weld­ing need­ed on their met­al sys­tems. One robot­ic weld­ing sys­tem can do the work of four human welders, and can weld faster. When a human welds, they have to adjust the part, adjust their stance, and adjust their pro­tec­tive gear. When a robot welds, they are always weld­ing, increas­ing their over­all arc time and speed­ing up the pro­duc­tion process.

Anoth­er met­al work­ing com­pa­ny locat­ed in Day­ton, Amer­i­can Trim, pro­duces parts for auto­mo­biles and oth­er trans­porta­tion sys­tems. They per­form met­al form­ing, met­al coat­ing and met­al dec­o­rat­ing ser­vices. While robot­ic weld­ing may also come in handy for a com­pa­ny of this nature, there are sev­er­al oth­er robot­ic appli­ca­tions that would improve pro­duc­tion as well. Robots can cut met­al using lasers, which leaves a clean­er cut than oth­er meth­ods. They can also use mate­r­i­al removal end effec­tors to make dec­o­ra­tive pat­terns in met­al. Dis­pens­ing robots are great for get­ting even coat­ings or paint on almost any surface.

Over­all, com­pa­nies like Gen­er­al Dynam­ics and Amer­i­can Trim can ben­e­fit from robot­ic tech­nol­o­gy because they need to improve their pro­duc­tion to keep com­pet­i­tive in the mar­ket­place, as well as turn­ing out a respectable prod­uct to keep cus­tomers com­ing back.
