Comparison of advantages and costs of welding robots
Customers buying welding robots need to replace labor, increase efficiency and reduce management costs.
(1) Stabilize and improve welding quality and ensure its uniformity.
Welding parameters such as welding current, voltage, welding speed and welding dry elongation play a decisive role in the welding result. When robot welding is used, the welding parameters of each weld are constant, and the quality is less affected by human factors, which reduces the requirements for workers' operating skills, so the welding quality is stable. In manual welding, the welding speed, dry elongation, etc. are all changed, so it is difficult to achieve quality uniformity.
(2) Improved the working conditions of workers.
Robot welding workers are only used to load and unload workpieces, away from welding arcs, smoke and splashes, so that workers can be freed from heavy physical labor.
(3) Improve labor productivity.
The robot is not fatigued and can be produced continuously for 24 hours. Using robot welding, the efficiency is significantly improved.
(4) The product cycle is clear and it is easy to control the product output.
The production cycle of the robot is fixed, so the production plan is very clear.
(5) It can shorten the cycle of product modification and replacement, and reduce the corresponding equipment investment.
The welding automation of small batch products can be realized. The biggest difference between a robot and a special machine is that it can modify the program to adapt to the production of different workpieces.
