ABIBLOG USA: ABICOR BINZEL's Welding Blog

In today's fast-paced environment, companies are constantly on the lookout for innovative solutions that drive productivity while also minimizing costs. In the world of welding, collaborative robots (cobots) have emerged as a promising solution, gaining widespread traction. Businesses around the globe are discovering that cobots offer a versatile and cost-effective way to boost efficiency. In today's blog, we're going over some of the ways that cobots can increase your ROI and maximize your savings.

There are countless robotic welding cell setups tailored to various jobs, and it's rare to find two that are exactly alike. This diversity stems from the wide range of welding automation needs for different parts and products. 

Despite their differences, most robotic welding cells share a common trait: they could benefit from performance improvements. These enhancements can range from minor adjustments that simplify programming and maintenance or extend the lifespan of parts, to more significant changes like adding peripheral equipment to reduce long-term costs and increase uptime. 

Let's go over six practical ways to improve the efficiency of your robotic welding cell.

Welding with collaborative robots or cobots, introduces unique safety challenges that require careful planning and proactive measures. Implementing key safety practices can protect workers and maintain a safe work environment. 

In recent years, the manufacturing industry has faced a significant challenge – a shortage of skilled welders. As businesses strive to maintain and improve their welding processes, many are turning to innovative solutions, and one technology is standing out: collaborative robots, or cobots. Let's dive into how cobots, are addressing the shortage of welders and bringing significant value to businesses through the welding process.

In the fast-paced world of welding, staying ahead of market demands is crucial.

As technology advances, your workplace must adapt to keep up with the need. That period of adapting will look different for everyone, as some operations needs are on a much smaller scale than others. For those in larger manufacturing plants, the push to automate has become a more prevalent move. Productivity is the name of the game and to keep up, operations must be able to repeat their tasks quickly and efficiently.

With the current state of the welding industry as it sits now, we are seeing a lot of manufacturers moving away from manual to create a more automated process. With this comes a host of new welding equipment that can benefit your process, from improving repeatability and traceability, to increasing productivity and general performance.
