Commanding approximately 20% of the total amount of commercial welding in the United States, welding robots are extremely impactful for production operations. That said, determining whether robotic automation is a good fit for an operation can be a daunting task. For those considering the use of welding robots and systems, here are a few concepts that decision makers can weigh to make qualifying robotic automation easier. Read More

While robots have become commonplace tools for many factory tasks, advancing markets and unique requirements are prompting usage for a wider variety of applications. With the global robotics market expected to grow 15% by 2032, it should be no surprise that robots will be implemented in a wider range of industries. For 2024 and beyond, individuals should be on the lookout for greater robot utilization in these industries. Read More

Small- to medium-size manufacturers looking to optimize operations should consider how robotic automation can help their processes. From greater safety and productivity to substantial cost and labor savings, transformational benefits can be achieved in a relatively short payback period. Fabricators still unsure if robots will help their bottom line should especially consider the viability of small welding workcells. Read More

Taking robotic welding to a new level, collaborative workcells that can be moved throughout the shop floor, as needed, are helping manufacturers deal with tough challenges. From improved floorspace utilization and part optimization to cultivating a more stable workforce, the benefits of flexible cobots are clear. These pre-engineered systems are ideal for replacing or supplementing manual welding. Read More

Once a technology imagined and used for Fortune 500 companies with big assembly lines, robotic automation is now a necessity for most small, medium and large businesses alike to keep competitive. Simple to justify for large quantity runs for automotive and consumer products in the past, today’s cost-effective robots and automation systems are tackling tough jobs for a wide range of applications in nearly every industry.
