Reaching Faster Speeds with Fanuc MIG Welders

MIG weld­ing is one of the most com­mon arc weld­ing appli­ca­tions on the mar­ket today. MIG weld­ing is used in many dif­fer­ent indus­tries, and one of the best ways to speed up the process and make it more effi­cient is to make the switch to robot­ic MIG welders, like those offered by Fanuc Robot­ics – a switch that many com­pa­nies have already made. 

Why is a Fanuc MIG weld­ing robot so much faster than a man­u­al appli­ca­tion? It has a lot to do with the nec­es­sary steps that human work­ers must take when they are per­form­ing the MIG weld­ing appli­ca­tion. A man­u­al MIG weld­ing process includes stop­ping every so often, rais­ing the weld­ing hel­met, and ensur­ing the weld­ing torch is in the prop­er place. Then, the work­er must low­er their hel­met again and con­tin­ue weld­ing. This process cuts into the pro­duc­tiv­i­ty lev­el of the weld­ing appli­ca­tion sig­nif­i­cant­ly, caus­ing pro­duc­tion to slow. 

With a Fanuc robot­ic MIG welder, there is no stop­ping to check place­ment. The MIG weld­ing robot can keep a con­tin­u­ous weld on the part, and the robot­ic welder can per­form these tasks as much as 4 times faster than a man­u­al welder. That means that if a welder can get 16 parts done in one shift, a robot­ic MIG welder from Fanuc could get 64 parts weld­ed in one shift. This can dra­mat­i­cal­ly increase a company’s abil­i­ty to take on more orders and more clients, keep­ing them com­pet­i­tive in their marketplace.
