Fully mechanized processes and robotic welding

Welcome

Welcome to the training for International Welding Engineer (IWE), International Welding Technologist (IWT) and International Welding Specialist (IWS) . This introduction will focus on part 1.15, Automation and Robotic Welding. The content of this training is based on the main rules of the International Welding Federation, with a focus on robotic arc welding.​

At Valk Welding, we strive to use only the information available to us, in order to respect the intellectual property of other suppliers. If other information is used, it means that it is publicly available on websites or video channels. Please note that Valk Welding is not responsible for any mistakes in the information provided.​

If you have any recommendations or feedback, feel free to email us at info@valkwelding.com. We hope that this training will be informative and valuable for you.​

Why automation​

Automation is becoming increasingly important in the welding industry for several reasons. Here are some of the key benefits of automation in welding:​
​

  • Cost of the welder: Automation can help reduce the cost of hiring and training welders, as well as the associated expenses such as wages, benefits, and insurance.​
  • Higher quality: Automated welding processes can produce higher quality welds, as they are less prone to human error and can achieve more consistent results.​
  • More consistent quality: Automation can help ensure that the quality of the welds remains consistent, even over long periods of time and across multiple projects.​
  • Safety: Automated welding processes can help improve safety by reducing the risk of injury to workers, as well as reducing the risk of damage to equipment and materials.​
  • Pushing the boundaries of welding technology: Automation can help push the boundaries of welding technology, allowing for the development of new and more advanced welding techniques.​
  • Visual limitations of the welder: Automation can help overcome the visual limitations of the welder, allowing for more precise and accurate welds.​
  • Easier or no welding jigs at all (cost saving): Automation can help reduce the need for welding jigs, which can result in significant cost savings.​

Overall, automation in welding can help improve quality, consistency, safety, and cost-effectiveness, making it an important consideration for any welding operation.​
