Universal Robots Collaborative Robots (hereinafter referred to as Universal Robots) have observed that welding, as a type of work with high technical requirements and certain health risks, has a greater "demand" than "supply", which is not only difficult to recruit, but also difficult to employ. On the one hand, because of the repetitive and boring characteristics of factory work, the stability of young workers is generally weak, and because of the limited technical level of the initial entry, the quality of manufactured products will be affected to a certain extent. On the other hand, the high salary of a highly qualified welding technician is hard to find, so the more experienced the technician in the manufacturing enterprise, the higher the workload, which indirectly affects the efficiency of the completion of production tasks and the guarantee of product delivery.
In addition, Universal Robots also found that welders generally have limited access to emerging production technologies, and although many companies have introduced automation equipment, its adoption rate has been challenging, and many manufacturing companies even need to hire a dedicated person to take care of the more demanding automation equipment. The multiple problems faced by the "young and old" have put many enterprises in a dilemma. In response, Universal Robots has chosen to continue to offer a wide range of automated welding solutions to help solve the challenges and problems faced by the welding industry.
Recently, Universal Robots and TRUMPF (China) Co., Ltd. (TRUMPF China), a global industrial machine tool, laser technology and electronics company, have once again launched the TruArc Weld 1000, a collaborative human-robot welding workstation developed with the UR10e as the main body, to help the welding industry. TruArc Weld 1000 has been deployed by three metal processing and manufacturing companies: TruArc Weld 1000 at three metal processing and manufacturing companies: TruArc Metal Products (Taicang) Co., Ltd. (TRUMPF Metal), Ningbo Chenyu Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. (Ningbo Chenyu) and Zhejiang Haichuang Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Haichuang).
The TruArc Weld 1000 is a fully equipped machine tool that includes safety devices such as vacuum cleaners and anti-glare fences in addition to the UR10e collaborative robot, which can be quickly used by users through video tutorials. This solution is suitable for a wide range of sheet metal welding jobs, including common carbon steel, stainless steel, galvanized sheet, aluminum alloy welding, and 1-3mm sheet welding, with CMT cold metal transition technology.
There is a specialization in the industry, aiming at solving the welding task of "multi-variety, small batch": in the production state of "multi-variety, small batch", the biggest bottleneck of automatic welding equipment is the cumbersome pre-welding preparation, programming and parameter debugging. The TruArc Weld 1000 system, a collaborative human-robot welding workstation jointly developed by Universal Robots and TRUMPF China, is a highly integrated system that enables fast programming and is truly ready to use right out of the box and is an automated welding cell that can be quickly put into production.
Get started with it, and technical novices are no longer afraid of automation equipment: The TruArc Weld 1000 collaborative welding workstation jointly developed by Universal Robots and TRUMPF China is easy to program, drag-and-drop, and modular in task mode, so that young skilled workers and senior welding masters can quickly learn to use the process after simple training, completely changing the operation threshold of traditional industrial robot programming.
Dual-station design for multi-task parallelism to maximize productivity: The TruArc Weld 1000 collaborative welding workstation, jointly developed by Universal Robots and TRUMPF China, allows for fast switching between single- and dual-station working modes. Depending on the component and batch size, the welding cell can be used in single or double station operation. For example, welders can process larger batches of small parts or one large part at the same time during production.
According to Universal Robots, at present, three companies that have deployed the TruArc Weld 1000 welding workstation jointly developed by Universal Robots and Trumpf China, all report significant improvements in production efficiency, product quality and business scope.
