Welding with robots
Why are robots ideally suited to welding? KUKA’s whitepaper ‘Stronger, Faster, More Productive’ answers this question, and others, exploring the many disciplines within welding that can be given over to robots.
Applications for robotic welding in non-automotive sectors are coming to the fore, owing to several key drivers, such as the reduced availability of skilled labour pools. Manufacturers are realising the benefits attributed to robot welding as an effective response, not only supporting the continued delivery of legacy manufacturing methods but also as a means to support operational resilience.
Labour and productivity challenges continue to squeeze businesses, and the need to adopt robots becomes more pressing as the UK’s robot density, compared to our European competitors, remains significantly low.
Research and development facilities in Ireland are leading the way, advancing industry skills in robot welding and upskilling across a range of automated applications adapted for welding, supporting manufacturers and industry alike.
