The healthcare industry has been using robotics for years to manufacture its products, and those applications include welding. Some of the first robots introduced in the industrial manufacturing environment were made for welding. Continued industrial robot technology advancements make robots much more commonplace today, particularly in non-traditional applications. Due to the safety and efficiency of newer robots, welding automation is quickly becoming the norm.
Benefits of today’s robotic welding
Quality: Robots can perform high-quality and precise welding. They can also repeat these welds with the same quality. The result is consistent and reliable welding.
Productivity: Robots increase assembly line productivity. They can create complex current welds; they work fast, without sacrificing quality; they have reliable repeatability and work tirelessly. Robotic welding significantly speeds up production and results in a significant return on investment in the long term.
Safety: Until the middle of the 20th century, people performed all welding processes. This exposes them to dangerous environments and toxic fumes. Robotic welding eliminates the dangers associated with welding.
Introduction of Robotic Welding in Midmark India
Midmark India is committed to enhancing value to its customers with continuous investment in people, processes, and products. We lead innovation in manufacturing with automation and QA processes. Taking it further, we have upgraded the core manufacturing with the robotic welding process. Now the hard work has been replaced by smart work by giving the programmed instructions to the Welding robots and monitoring the process resulting in the optimum utilization of the human resources.
The capability of a robot to continuously perform repetitive actions with perfection has helped in better production planning, resulting in the quality and quantity of the products. The post weld sanding (process to have a smooth aesthetic weld surface) has been reduced due to better weld quality, resulting in improved productivity.
Though today, robotic welding is only a small part of welding projects in the healthcare industry, that is likely to change with new technologies. Future innovations will lead to welding robots that are easier to operate, work with other machines and increase in popularity and Midmark India will continue to go ahead of the trend.
