Robot welding involves robots (mechanized programmable tools) that completely automate this process. Mechanized tools perform welding and handle the parts.

It is a new application of robotics, and companies are frequently converting to it.

Remember, robots can successfully do any type of welding; therefore, you can expect improved quality, higher productivity, and cost-effective welding operations. [Read more…] about Want to know more about robotic welding? Here’s a brief introduction

Novarc Technologies to showcase ‘world’s first collaborative welding robot’ at FabTech

by

Novarc Technologies, a Vancouver-based robotics company specializing in the design and commercialization of collaborative robots for industrial applications, says it will be introducing “the world’s first welding collaborative robot” at FabTech.

The company says this is a “groundbreaking step” because, for the pipe welding industry, it demonstrates that robots can enable companies to meet production requirements even where there isn’t a sufficient skilled workforce available.

Novarc says its collaborative robot will be initially available for exclusive demonstration at FabTech, booth #B25100. (A previous Novarc welding system is shown in the picture above.) [Read more…] about Novarc Technologies to showcase ‘world’s first collaborative welding robot’ at FabTech
