Compared with manual welding, automated welding processes can minimise the chance of errors and inconsistent welds, increasing speed, precision and quality.

Use of automated and mechanised systems offer a number of advantages to welding businesses. These include:

• Reducing variable welding costs
• Lower parts costs
• Contribute to consistent weld quality
• Contributed to predictable welding production rates
• Increase productivity

Automation can be applied to different processes depending on the needs and resources of the welding project. It can involve an entire operation being performed by mechanical or electronic means without adjustment by the operator (total automation) or certain functions being performed manually (partial automation). Equipment may be suitable for only a single assembly or family of assemblies, or may be modified to perform similar operations on different components and assemblies.

Weld Australia’s International Welding Engineers (IWEs) can provide businesses with access to this highly specialised and cutting-edge technology. We have a thorough understanding of the concepts, design and process integration of automation and robotic solutions.

Weld Australia provides services such as:
