Smoker Craft adopted a robotic tube-welding system about two years ago to automate its entire pontoon assembly process. (IBJ photo/Eric Learned) A welder’s flame fuses a pontoon tube at Smoker Craft ...

Skilled welders understand the benefit of welding on a downward slope — it helps them move the torch quickly along the joint while keeping the arc inside the gas or flux. Sometimes, though, it's hard ...

Spurred on by the colossal shortage of welders in manufacturing and other sectors, robotic welding has gained enormous ground since it was introduced in 2017. Now, with AI growing in power, both the ...

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products introduces Swift Arc ML (Mobile Learning) System, a new fully contained robotic welding system for education and training, at Fabtech 2013, Booth N1449. Swift Arc ML is ...

Cohesive Robotics Inc. has introduced the Smart Welding Robotic Workcell, a turnkey system designed to help address welding fabrication bottlenecks and boost production capacity. Integrated into the ...

Welding pipes in cramped, potentially dangerous areas is an expensive and time-consuming exercise. OC Robotics and TWI Ltd have been working on a potential solution in the form of an articulated ...

Visit a typical structural metal fabricator, and you might see a beam line with cutting and drilling automation, perhaps even a robotic plasma system for coping. The farther you walk down the value ...

Holtec International has deployed the first industrial robot developed under a programme it launched in 2019: a portable robotic welder, which is used to weld lids to multi-purpose canisters. Using a ...
