Overview

The line between collaborative welding robots (cobots) and traditional industrial welding robots has blurred, yet cobots offer distinct advantages for welding applications. Initially, cobots were celebrated for their safety, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness, making automation accessible to companies of all sizes. Over the past decade, cobots have evolved, becoming more powerful and capable of handling a broader range of tasks, including high volume applications. Case studies show cobots' ability to address labor shortages and reduce the need for specialized robotics engineers, thanks to their intuitive programming. This session will explore the similarities and differences between cobots and traditional welding robots, highlighting how cobots are challenging existing paradigms. Join us to learn about the steps to implement these solutions and maximize the benefits of collaborative automation in your operations.
