Benefits of robotic welding

  • Twice the arc-on time of manual welding — more parts per shift.
  • Consistent weld quality that cuts rework and scrap.
  • Relieves skilled welders and eases the welder shortage.
  • A collaborative robot programmed in minutes, even for small batches.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a welding robot cost?

A complete collaborative welding cell with robot, welding package, table, safety and installation typically costs €70,000–€90,000. If you already have a compatible power source the investment is lower.

Is robotic welding worth it for small batches?

Yes. With a collaborative welding robot and a flexible fixture table, changeovers are quick. The calculation accounts for batch size through the operator time spent on loading and programming.

Can the robot use our existing welding machine?

Often yes, if the power source has a digital interface. Tell the calculator and no new power source is included.
