Welding automation - welding workplace innovations 

The demand for smaller series and greater diversity is increasing. At the same time there is a scarcity of professionals. Do you want to guarantee the continuity and quality of your production? Elektrolas offers automation solutions based on its expertise in the welding field. Together we will find the best solution for your production process.

When to automate your welding workplace

In the time of increasing scarcity of welders and more stingent customer requirements, automation is the key to succes. Implementing advanced technologies such as welding robots, cobots and laser welding automatically increases productivity while ensuring quality. These automated solutions reduce the need for human labor, resulting in consistent results and shorter lead times.
 
By choosing automation, you give your welding shop the tools to excel in a demanding marketplace. We understand the challenges you face and offer custimized solutions that increase your productivity and meet the most stringent standards.

Welding with a cobot

Welding with a cobot we hear more and more often. But what else can a cobot do? Did you know that in addition to welding, a cobot can also sand, grind and cut. These options make it possible for a cobot to be used for various tasks. 

At Elektrolas, we choose the reliable quality of Universal Robots, the market leader in offering cobots. Our preference is for the UR10e and UR20 models. With their lightweight construction and flexibility, they are ideally suited for welding technology. These robots not only offer precision, but also enable welding and sanding with a Cobot arm.

Laser welding

Laser welding precisely fuses thin materials together. This creates deep, strong, high-quality welds. The advantages of laser welding are
 
  • High Speed: The process is fast, ensuring efficiency in production.
  • Minimum Heat Input: This prevents distortion of the material and results in beautiful, precise welds.
  • Optical Quality: The welds are visually appealing and have a clean finish.

Robotic welding

Robotic welding is an advanced production technique in which a welding robot controls the welding torch. This largely eliminates the human factor. This results in consistent, high-quality welding. At a time when finding experienced welders can be a challenge, robotic welding offers solutions that set the standard. Here are some benefits:
 
Consistent quality: Every weld is perfect, with no variations.
High speed: Robotic welding is significantly faster than manual welding.
Less dependence on labor: Production can continue without the limitations of available welders.
Improved safety: Less exposure to potentially dangerous situations.

Welding with a cobot

What is the delivery time of a cobot?
Generally, delivery time can range from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the supplier and any modifications needed.

What does it cost to innovate my welding shop?
The cost of innovating a welding workshop depends on several factors, including the size of the workshop, the type of cobot, any infrastructure modifications and staff training.

Is it possible to visit the COBOT center?
Yes, it is possible to visit the COBOT center. This can be arranged upon request. During the visit, a demonstration can be given to better understand the capabilities and applications of cobots.

When should I deploy a cobot?
A cobot can be ideal in situations where there is repetitive work, a shortage of skilled workers or when the current workforce is limited in size. Cobots can be used to automate tasks and increase productivity in such circumstances

Can you also provide a demonstration? 
Yes, this is certainly possible. Please contact us at: demonstration request
