Aluminum Welding Automation

Aluminum is one of the most difficult alloys to weld, melting at a much higher temperature. Therefore, it is important to properly clean the aluminum oxide surface before welding. Contact Robots.com experts today for the perfect robotic solution for your aluminum welding automation system. ​

Copper Welding With Industrial Robots

Industrial robots can accomplish a wide range of welding materials such as copper and copper alloys. These make unique combination for any manufacturing environments because of their electrical and thermal conductivity, outstanding resistance to corrosion, ease of fabrication, good strength, and fatigue resistance. If you are interested in integrating a welding solution on your production line, contact the experts at Robots.com today.

Stamping Process

Stamping stations help to produce mass quantities of finished products. Stamping can form metal made out of sheets containing steel, aluminum, zinc, nickel, titanium, and brass. The four different types of stamping that can be completed on sheet metal are electric metal stamping, fourslide metal stamping, progressive metal die stamping, and short run metal stamping.

How to Trouble Shoot a Robot Making Defective Welds

Troubleshooting a welding system is imperative for detecting welding defects and reducing the chances of a reduced quality product. There are a variety of ways to check for welding defects in your system such as checking for shielding gas leaks and flow and spatter, replacing welding tips and liners regularly, checking welding wire, and checking the stick out height or push pull angles. For more information on checking welding defects, contact Robots.com experts today.
