6 Most Common Parts That Get Automated First in Welding
Don’t Automate Everything. Start Where It Works. If you’re looking at robotic welding, your first question probably isn’t “Can it weld?” It’s “Where do we start?” You don’t need to automate your entire shop on day one. The smartest teams begin with one part, prove it out, and scale from
Cobot Welding: A Smart First Step Toward Full Automation
Cobot welding is a hot topic, and it makes sense why. If you run a small or midsize shop, a cobot can look like the perfect way to get started with automation. The setup is quick, the learning curve is manageable, and it does not require a big upfront investment.
What Nippon Steel’s U.S. Steel Buy Means for Welding Automation
The steel market just shifted. If you’re running a shop that bends, cuts, or welds anything structural, this deal affects you. Here’s what to watch, and what to do next. The Deal: A $15 Billion Buy and $11 Billion in Upgrades Nippon Steel’s $14.9 billion acquisition of U.S. Steel comes
Welding Automation Approaches Compared: What You Need to Know
Not All Welding Automation Is Built the Same If you’re exploring robotic welding for your shop, you’ve likely run into more than one “right” answer. But behind the similar product names and slick brochures, there are two fundamentally different ways vendors approach welding automation. This article compares two dominant models
Why Some Welding Robots Collect Dust: Top 5 Mistakes Buyers Regret
The Dirty Secret of Welding Automation? Some Robots Never Pay Off Let’s be honest, some robotic welding systems sit idle. Not because the technology is flawed, but because the buying process is broken. We’ve taken calls from shops where a brand-new system was collecting dust, just 6 months after install. The robot
