Product Info

YASKAWA's robotic welding systems enhance precision, speed, and consistency in welding processes, reducing waste and supporting continuous production. Ideal for the automotive, machinery, and steel structure industries.

1. The Importance of Welding in Industry
Welding is a core process in assembling metal components across various industries, such as automobile, motorcycle, steel structures, and machinery production. High-quality welding directly impacts the strength, durability, and safety of products.

Modern factories require welding that is precise, fast, and consistently stable. Relying solely on human welders may not suffice in an era where both quality and quantity are critical.

2. Limitations of Manual Welding
While skilled welders remain essential, manual welding presents several challenges:
- Human error
- Inconsistent quality across production runs
- Fatigue from continuous operation
- Significant time and space needed for training new workers
- Difficulty in real-time quality control and assessment

These issues have led to the development of automated welding solutions to enhance production quality and efficiency.

3. What Is an Automated Welding System?
An automated welding system uses robots and programmable control equipment to replace manual welding tasks. These systems work with welding tools such as electric welders, torches, direction control systems, and positioners.

The system allows precise and repeatable control of parameters like speed, temperature, welding angle, and voltage. It can also integrate sensors for real-time workpiece positioning and automatic adjustment of welding paths.
