TYPES OF ROBOTS USED IN WELDING APPLICATIONS

Welding is an important process in various industries, including manufacturing, construction, and repair. Robots have been used in welding applications for many years, offering improved accuracy, consistency, and speed compared to manual welding. There are several types of welding robots, each with its own unique capabilities and applications.

1. Articulated Robots – Articulated robots are versatile machines that are widely used in welding applications. They are capable of reaching difficult-to-access welding points and can be programmed to perform a wide range of welding tasks. Articulated robots are ideal for use in applications where multiple axes of motion are required.
2. SCARA Robots – SCARA robots are designed for high-speed, precise pick-and-place tasks, making them ideal for welding applications where speed and accuracy are required. They are typically used in applications that require repetitive tasks and can be programmed to perform these tasks with a high degree of consistency.
3. Cartesian Robots – Cartesian robots are linear robots that are commonly used in welding applications. They are characterized by their rectangular workspace and are ideal for use in applications where a large workspace is required. Cartesian robots are typically used in applications where a high degree of precision is required.
4. Collaborative Robots – Collaborative robots, also known as cobots, are designed to work alongside human workers. They are ideal for welding applications where a high degree of precision is required, and where human workers need to be close to the robot to perform certain tasks. Collaborative robots are typically used in applications where a high degree of safety is required.
