Welding Robots — Industrial Welding Process Automation
Welding robots are specialized industrial robots designed for automated welding operations: MIG/MAG, TIG, spot and laser welding. Robotic welding provides consistent weld quality (repeatability of ±0.03–0.06 mm), 3–5 times higher productivity than manual welding, and 15–20% welding wire savings. Our catalog features welding robot manipulators from leading manufacturers: KUKA, FANUC, ABB, and MOTOMAN (Yaskawa).
How to Choose a Welding Robot
Choosing a welding robot depends on the welding type, part dimensions, productivity requirements, and budget. Key selection criteria:
- Payload — determines the maximum weight of welding torch and auxiliary equipment on the flange. For arc welding, 3–6 kg is sufficient; for spot welding, 80–200 kg.
- Reach — the robot's working zone radius. For small parts — from 700 mm; for large structures — from 1400 mm and above.
- Number of axes — standard 6 axes for full torch orientation freedom. Hollow Wrist design allows routing the welding cable inside the arm.
- Repeatability — positioning accuracy from ±0.03 mm to ±0.08 mm depending on the series.
- Protection class — welding environments require IP65+ and special spatter protection.
