Robotic welders are the most mature of the automation projects. However, implementing them in a factory involves significant expense, complexity in training and set-up, safety issues and so on. With the advent of collaborative robots these hurdles while not completely eliminated, are definitely minimized, My team and I are pursuing the design of a welding cobot cell that is affordable and easy to set-up and operate. Leveraging our global sourcing network we have been able to provide an affordable alternative.
