Welding robotics helping to maintain railway systems

Train move­ments on rail­way tracks cause mas­sive wear and tear over a short peri­od of time. Recon­di­tion­ing and replac­ing those cross­ing sys­tems used to back up traf­fic and stretch out over weeks, using many man­pow­er hours.

Now, with the help of trans­portable robot­ic weld­ing cells, the repair process takes less than a day and only two peo­ple and no block­ing of traf­fic. Robot­ic weld­ing increas­es the life of the tracks and cross­ing, mak­ing the process not only time effec­tive, but cost effec­tive as well.

Weld­ing robot­ics is not only applied to the rails though. It is also applied to the man­u­fac­tur­ing of the trains them­selves. Robot­ic weld cells can com­plete appli­ca­tions on wag­ons and chas­sis, side plates, bog­gies, as well as seats and track-side enclosures.

Many rail­way com­pa­nies are mov­ing toward weld­ing automa­tion to not only cut down on labor costs, but also to increase the life of their prod­ucts and keep from incon­ve­nienc­ing the pub­lic with blockages.

Robots​.com pro­vides automa­tion solu­tions from Fanuc, Motoman, ABB, Uni­ver­sal Robots, and KUKA, as well as many oth­er com­pa­nies that pro­duce indus­tri­al robot­ic weld­ing arms and work­cells, assists man­u­fac­tur­ers find the right robot­ic weld­ing solu­tion for their industry.

Whether you are part of the rail­way indus­try, or one of the sev­er­al oth­er indus­tries, Robots​.com is here to help you design the most effi­cient, accu­rate and pro­duc­tive robot­ic welder or work­cell for your appli­ca­tion.
