Robotic Welding Market Drivers and Opportunities

Automated Sensing for Improved Weld Quality to Favor Market

Automated sensing technologies allow robotic welders to adopt operations according to individual workpiece dimensions. This upgrades the quality of each weld while raising the speed of operations and, as a result, provides for higher throughput. Including these technologies in each weld cell helps to Monitor the weld operation and record the details for continuous process optimization, automatically adjust the weld robot’s parameters according to the workpiece monitor the weld operation, and record the details for continuous process optimization.

Real-Time Data Acquisition

Along with automated sensing, the operational data acquisition and analysis of robotic welding systems are advancing at a rapid speed. As each weld needs a specific inspection to qualify the quality control process, these tools make it possible to prove the joint strength, seal of every seam, and weld penetration during the weld operation.

Arc tracking control systems can automatically identify faults and correct the weld operation to minimize rework that usually only surfaces during a secondary inspection. Additionally, these systems provide for Joint width and profile measurement during weld operation, joint edge detection, and tracking seam penetration during welds, controlling weld penetration according to the specifications.
