Decision to Invest and Associated Challenges
For several years, AGRO-MASZ has been considering the introduction of welding robots. The market and available technologies were analysed to find the best solution that would meet the company’s requirements for precision, repeatability, and efficiency. Despite initial concerns about costs, the benefits of automation proved to be overwhelming. Automating welding processes not only increases efficiency but also improves work safety by eliminating hazards associated with manual welding.
Initially, the company faced uncertainty about whether the modern technologies would bring the expected benefits and whether the team would quickly adapt to working with robots. A breakthrough came with the support of the chosen supplier – Valk Welding, which not only provided robotic installations but also offered comprehensive training and technical support in programming and implementing serial production.
Benefits of Automation
Welding robots at AGRO-MASZ are used for welding components of agricultural machinery, such as frames, tillage tool components, and parts for seeding machines. Automating these processes ensures high quality and repeatability of welds, which is crucial for the durability and reliability of the machines. Thanks to precise preparation of components and the implementation of new material preparation procedures, the welding process has become faster and more efficient.
