Welder World has just released a new section of their website that has Robotic Welding and basic Robotic Welding tips defined and everything else on Welding and Robots. This is part of a new community website that is all about the Robotic Welding Basic Information. Members and non-members can visit this Robotic Welding Tips and Basics page on the Welder World website for free at: http://www.welderworld.com/
Here is an excerpt from the new Robotic Welding Tips and Basics webpage:
“Robots are used to handle the parts that need to be welded and to perform the weld. Robots are generally used when you want to do resistance spot welding or arc welding where there is a need for high production.
Although robotic welding is fairly new, they were started in about the 1980s when the automotive industry found that they could use robots to do spot welding. As of 2005, there were over 60,000 robots being used in many industries in North America for welding.
Robotic welding can be relatively expensive to do so it can be difficult for some industries to bring in more equipment. Many robots are being "employed" to also do arch welding and they have two parts: the manipulator that is how the robot is able to move, and the controller which is the "brain" of the operation and actually performs the weld. “
There is plenty of more information on the new Robotic Welding website that can be found by visiting: http://www.welderworld.com/
