Arc Welding with Used Industrial Robots

Arc welding is the process of using a strong electric current to melt and fuse one metallic material to another, creating a joint. Around 25% of both new and used industrial robots worldwide are used to perform welding in its various forms. Robotics has been fundamental in automating the welding process, providing efficiency, very high and uniform quality, facilitating a safer environment in production centres and significantly reducing costs in human and material resources.

Robotic welding has been spreading to more and more sectors and is currently the main application of robotics, especially visible in the automotive sector, which currently demands more than 40% of the industrial robots used in the world. The electronics and electrical industries are also prominent sectors in the use of these technologies. The offer of alternative solutions, the reduction of costs, the improvement in quality, the increase in productivity, the reduction of lead times and especially the reliability have definitely tipped the balance in favor of a working system that almost completely eliminates problems such as uncertainty in the execution of work. Its flexibility is also celebrated and shared as a particularly interesting quality when it comes to amortizing the investment in this equipment.

The basic used arc welding robotic system consists of a power source that delivers the energy and a used robotic arm, which provides the relative positioning between the heat source and the workpiece. Six-axis industrial robots are the most commonly used for these tasks because they guarantee reach in all positions required for three-dimensional welding. The flexibility of standard six-axis used industrial robots often facilitates their use for welding, but smaller, cheaper, welding-specific robots are also available, which makes them easier to acquire and has greatly increased their presence in more modest centers.

Welding cells are often equipped with part positioning elements, which extend the working range of the industrial welding robot, facilitating access to certain areas that may be difficult to access due to distance or angle. The positioners work in tandem with the robot, synchronizing their movements, facilitating process optimization.

Combined with welding and robotics is an extensive and growing technology of sensors, control systems and artificial intelligence that complement the welding processes, providing improvements in quality, productivity and precision, so much in demand in modern industry. Sensors allow us to measure and observe more and more parameters, providing day by day an increasingly greater control that optimizes each process.

Second-hand industrial robots avoid accidents caused by fatigue or monotonous tasks, or those caused by unhealthy working environments due to toxicity, humidity or extreme temperatures, humanizing the work of the operator. At the same time, they increase productivity as well as quality and efficiency: they reduce waste, optimize space, facilitate stock control, optimize the performance of our machinery and tools and reduce numerous costs.

A fundamental advantage of used robots, in addition to the obvious reduction in acquisition costs, is the availability of the units in the shortest possible time, allowing them to adapt quickly to any demand or circumstance. This is a fundamental strategic element for those who need to incorporate machinery immediately.

Working with these types of second-hand robots makes integration and programming much easier due to the experience gained from years of working with these units in multiple plants and sectors, but also provides advantages such as the availability of spare parts, which allows the unit to function in the event that a part needs repair or maintenance. As a result, more and more SMEs are turning to second-hand industrial robots to gradually automate processes, and not just large companies that want to open a new manufacturing line or need machinery quickly. In any case, the cost-effectiveness and versatility of these tools is fully evident in the fact that the robot "population" in the world is currently 2,500,000 and is estimated to be around 4,000,000 by 2025. 65% of the robots are in Asia, which gives us an idea of why these markets are the most competitive so far.

Robots Gallery offers an increasingly comprehensive range of facilities and products to speed up the transformation of production plants to Industry 4.0, with a focus on economy and ecology. For example, the sale of second-hand industrial robots equipped with welding tools, the adaptation of high-tech tools to recycled industrial arms or the direct sale of turnkey robotized cells. These projects range from automatic palletizing to the various possibilities in welding, machining, industrial painting or other automatisms. Whether the customer needs a used industrial robot or an urgent spare part, Robots Gallery is ready to respond at all times.
