such as resistance welding and arc welding. Use previously developed programmable code to control all robot
actions and movements to automate industrial processes in welding technology. This robotic technology is used
to improve the productivity and accuracy of product development in industry.
Robots used in the welding process consist of multiple mechanically programmed tools that help automate the
welding process in industry. This type of robot is used to automate welding techniques developed and used in
industry to join two material components by increasing their melting point temperature. This technique is used
for resistance spot welding and arc welding, which are most commonly used in the industry. The most commonly
used type of robot in industry is the 6-axis industrial robot, which includes a 3-axis lower arm and a 3-axis wrist
arm.
Robot welding application
1 Robotic Welding Technology is used in industry to automate the welding process. This automation is done
using mechanically programmable codes, which are shaped to control the motion of the robotic arm and
structure during the welding process. If the mechanism of the manufacturing process is continuous and the
same, it can be easily replaced by the robot technology used and implemented in industry.
2 This robotic welding technology saves time in the welding process. If the welded manufacturing process is
continuous and follows the same manufacturing process, the process also takes time to perform human skill
in the industry. This robotic welding technology intervenes with the help of developed programs and codes,
whose movements are fixed and performed by the robot in a short time.
3 Robotic welding technology is widely used in the automotive industry. Arc welding, spot welding and resistance
welding are mainly used here. Spot welding and resistance welding use electrical current with resistance to
perform the welding process. Here, electrical energy is used to heat the object, so the object begins to melt
after the temperature reaches its melting point. A robotic arm is used to correctly place different equipment
and material components in the right place to carry out the welding process, after which the welding process
is also carried out. It controls all the activities of the welding process, from the initiation of the weld, to raising
the required melting point, to the final welding of the body components and their final joining.
4 Robotic welding technology is also used in arc welding, which uses an arc to carry out the welding process. An
inert gas such as argon is used here to prevent the final product from reacting with the external atmosphere. All
these processes from setting up equipment and tools to finishing the final welding process are controlled using
a robotic arm. The robot’s actions are fully programmed and controlled, so there is little chance of error during
the manufacturing process and it runs very quickly. 5) 6-axis industrial robots are used to perform arc welding
processes in industry. This welding process includes a complete electrical circuit and power setup from the
beginning. The welder’s main task here is to control the work piece and the torch during operation. This will
deliver the shielding gas to the right place. This process is very slow even with skilled workers, but very quickly
with robots. The role of the robot arm here is to control the movement of the welding torch and work piece to
the correct position during the welding process.
