Automating the welding of steel frames
Challenge
The company produced 200 frames a month by hand. A shortage of welders on the market, rising labour costs and difficulty keeping welds repeatable under EN 1090.
Solution
Deployment of a WS-10 welding cobot with a rotary positioner. Training of 2 operators. Programming of 4 frame variants by hand guiding.
"The cobot welded faster and more consistently than our best welder. And after training, the operator programs new parts on his own."
