Commissioning of the first welding robot

In production, a new era begins with the commissioning of the first welding robot: the automation of production. Contrary to typical opinions, however, the machine does not replace employees – the machine complements the work process at the points where the most standardized components are produced. These, for example the most common quick couplers for original equipment, are now manufactured on the robot. This takes pressure off manual welding production and frees up space for skilled workers to complete individual and demanding welding work.
