Automation of Production with Industrial Robots
Automation of production using industrial robots is the key to successfully implementing advanced technologies in modern industry. The company KUKA, a recognized leader in this field, opens up new opportunities for optimizing all manufacturing processes. Today, effective modernization of production is essential for producing high-quality products in metalworking enterprises, which is impossible without the implementation of welding robots from KUKA.
Main Advantages of Welding Robots
Among the main advantages of modern welding robots are:
- Wide possibilities of modifying welding parameters during operation;
- High speed of transitioning to new operations and versatility of actions;
- High level of safety in use, thanks to emergency stop buttons and protective beams. Crossing the area limited by the beams by a person automatically stops the operation of the robot;
- High precision of welding: for contact welding, the tolerance is less than 1 mm, while for arc welding – no more than 0.5 mm.
The ability for multifunctional use and quick adaptation to non-standard situations is the main distinction of robotic technologies from traditional means. The KUKA robotic welding complex can be used for welding not only compact parts but also large-scale structures.
Flexibility and Adjustment of Processes
Welding robots provide a quick transition from one operation to another, allowing several processes to be carried out simultaneously. This creates significant advantages compared to a human welder and specialized equipment.
During work, the following parameters can be adjusted:
- The sequence of welding stages;
- The time for feeding protective gas before starting the welding and after it is completed;
- Adjustment of the weld geometry, wire feed and withdrawal speed, as well as data for automatic wire release during welding.
Although the advantages of welding robots are obvious, their economic viability manifests in full measure at enterprises that produce no less than a thousand units of product per year. Key factors include increased productivity, high welding quality, and safe working conditions.
