Why the Future of Robotic Welding Won’t Stay Inside the Box
For decades, robotic welding meant one thing: a fixed cell with a fixture inside and a robot bolted to the floor. That model worked. It still does. But if you’re welding long, heavy, or high-mix parts, you’ve likely run into its limits. Manufacturers today are moving past the traditional setup. With flexible layouts, mobile robots, […]
Breaking the Mold: Expanding Robotic Welding Beyond the Fixed Cell
Most shops still treat robotic welding like it belongs in a box. Fixed cells. Fixed parts. Fixed thinking. But the real gains in welding automation are happening outside the traditional envelope. Manufacturers that work with long, heavy, or variable parts are finding smarter ways to move the robot to the part instead of the other […]
Designing for Automation: How Tooling Impacts Workflow, Quality, and ROI
In today’s fast-paced manufacturing world, automation isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. But here’s the kicker: automation is only as good as the tooling behind it. Effective tooling design isn’t just about holding parts in place; it’s about driving efficiency, improving quality, and maximizing ROI. Especially when it comes to complex welding operations, where every […]
