Smoother Spot Welding With Robot Automation

Spot weld­ing is one of the old­est forms of robot­ic weld­ing. It was designed in the 1960s for use in the auto­mo­tive indus­try, and this form of weld­ing has been going strong ever since. The need for spot weld­ing robots in the indus­tri­al indus­try is dri­ven because of the weight and awk­ward nature of the man­u­al spot weld­ing gun. By using a robot, instead of a human welder, the appli­ca­tion is much faster and smoother than ever before.

Robot­ic spot welders are very com­mon in the auto­mo­tive and oth­er trans­porta­tion indus­tries. How­ev­er, the process of spot weld­ing is tedious. Man­u­al work­ers have to check their posi­tion after every weld to make sure they are in the right spot. Robot spot welders do not have this issue. They move down their seam weld­ing in a per­fect­ly straight line, with­out need­ing to waste the extra time to check after every weld. This speeds up the weld­ing process, as well as mak­ing it more accurate.

Because of the size of the weld­ing gun, a man­u­al spot welder can also be sub­ject­ed to injuries caused by years of bend­ing over dur­ing the weld­ing process. Once again, this not an issue for a spot weld­ing robot. While a spot weld­ing robot­ic sys­tem will need to be main­tained, man­u­fac­tur­ers do not run the risk of injuries that could slow down or stop the pro­duc­tion line, which can be the case with man­u­al weld­ing processes.

All in all, spot weld­ing is a job that should be left up to robots. This tedious form of weld­ing is best served by these fast and high­ly accu­rate machines that improve the qual­i­ty of work pieces and products.
