Automated welding
Robotic solutions for welding applications
Automation has become an indispensable solution for welding professionals. Collaborative robots, or "cobots", are particularly well suited to this task, thanks to their compact design and high flexibility.
In addition to cobots, industrial robots with robot cells are also an option to consider for maximum welding efficiency.
Robotic cells designed for low-volume requirements
Revtech specializes in the development of robotic cells designed for manufacturers whose production of welded parts is characterized by smaller volumes and frequent variations. These cells can be configured to adapt to parts that change over time.
Optimum performance can be achieved through automation:
- Consistent quality
- Lower production costs
- Reduced work-related accidents
- Reduced waste
Collaborative welding robots
Collaborative robots, often referred to as "cobots", are distinguished by their ease of programming. A welder easily learns to work with the robot, maximizing his or her work efficiency. Although collaborative robots are not necessarily more efficient than industrial robots at high volumes, their value lies in their ability to improve productivity while optimizing production costs.
Adopting a collaborative robot helps to bridge the skills gap, improve profitability, enhance safety and maximize the value of finished products. This technology represents a sound investment for any company seeking to remain competitive.
Robotic welding cells
Welding cells with industrial robots are generally contained within a work enclosure. The assembly or mounting of parts is normally done outside to maximize the robot's welding time, which is the secret of ROI for this application. While the robot is welding, the operator prepares the next part.

Key benefits of robotic welding cells
Uniform automated welding
The robot maintains constant speed and parameters, ensuring uniform, high-quality welding.
Enhanced productivity
Automated systems boost productivity by producing reproducible results at high speed, reducing waste compared to manual welding.
Flexibility and mobility
The robotic arm moves without disturbing adjacent equipment or work areas. The robot adapts to difficult spaces and complex shapes.
Safe
Safety barriers protect operators from projection and glare. Ventilation systems eliminate hazardous fumes.
Frequently asked questions
Integrating a robotic welding solution into your existing welding cell requires several steps. First, make sure you've purchased the right robotic welding solution for your application. Next, you'll need to reconfigure the space in your welding cell to accommodate the robot. This reconfiguration may include modifying the layout of the workshop and adding specific equipment for the robot.
In addition to space reconfiguration, the integration of a welding robot may require the addition of equipment such as safety devices, vision systems, special work tables, and cable management devices.
Some customized industrial cells do not correspond to standard cell specifications. They are equipped with additional axes and parametric programming to automatically adapt the robot and fixture to specific applications.
