ROBOTIC WELDING AND MANUAL WELDING SERVICES

ROBOTIC WELDING VS MANUAL WELDING

To meet the demands of the welding process, robotic welding has emerged as an important advancement. When it comes to robotic vs manual welding, each technique has specific pros and cons. So how does each process work, and what are their advantages? Here’s what you need to know.

Robotic welding has become an important advancement in order to meet the demands of the welding process. When it comes to robotic vs manual welding, each technique has specific advantages and disadvantages. So how does each process work and what are their advantages? Here's what you need to know.

ROBOTIC WELDING

So what is robotic welding? Just like it sounds, robotic welding refers to the use of robots to automate the welding process. There are two types of robotic welding: fully automatic and semi-automatic. With fully automated robotic welding, the robot guides the metal throughout the process. Using semi-automatic robotic welding, one person loads the metal and then unloads it when the process is complete. 

Robotic welding has several advantages, including:

• Increased throughput: Robots work faster and      more accurately than humans and can perform multiple welds simultaneously,      increasing productivity and output.

• Improved quality: Robotic welding is an      extremely reliable process with high-quality results. Robots perform tasks      with repeatable precision and are therefore highly consistent and      efficient.

• Safety: Welding environments are      often harsh and full of toxic fumes. Robotic welding helps eliminate      hazards to employees.

• Reduced waste: The efficiency and      accuracy of robotic welding means less material is needed and wasted      during the welding process.

• Reduced costs: Robotic welding of any      kind means less labor.

Robotic welding also has some disadvantages, including:

• Lack of flexibility: Robotic welding is      suitable for simple, repetitive tasks, but is less adaptable than manual      welding. When you need to change the welding content, you need to      reconfigure the robot, which takes money and time.

• Dependency: If your company relies      on robotic welding, it could be a big problem if the robot has technical      issues.

• High cost: You don't have to pay as      much labor, but you do have to pay high upfront costs for initial setup      and maintenance.

Overall, robotic welding is best for increasing the output of simple, repeatable welding.

MANUAL WELDING

Manual welding — the process in which humans perform welding tasks in place of robots — remains a popular and effective process. Advantages of hand soldering include:

• Flexibility: Humans are more      adaptable than robots and can handle different types of welds.

• Awareness: If there is a      mechanical failure, people will notice, but the robot will continue to      work.

• Interchangeable: If one of your      employees is absent from work, another can fill in. On the other hand, if      a robot is not working, it must be repaired before production can      continue.

Disadvantages of Manual welding include:

• Risk: The welding environment      can be hazardous and personal injury can be severe. Robots can't be harmed      the way humans can, and it can be repaired.

• Reduced production: Humans are slower to      complete welding tasks than robots, resulting in lower production.

• Less accurate: Robotic welding is      generally much more accurate than manual welding.

Overall, hand welding is best for slightly more complex welds.
