“Manual pedestal welding is kind of a dying breed,” he continues, “mainly due to the ergonomics—lifting heavy parts, standing all day trying to move these parts and fixture them for welding. A cobot welding machine can do all of that while freeing up the technician to perform other productive duties.”Rapid ROIA cobot spot-welding machine is a long-time partner with potential quick payback, Hamilton explains.
Cobot Spot Welding: More Welding, Less Handling

In many fabrication applications, cobots provide safety and ergonomic benefits while reportedly doubling or tripling productivity over traditional manual processes, and spot welding is no exception. The process also harnesses traditional cobot advantages such as portability and ease of programming.
Giga Stamping to Compete with Giga Casting

2 weeks ago | metalformingmagazine.com | Eren Billur |Lou Kren

Die-cast aluminum has replaced some stamped and welded assemblies in high-end low-volume cars for many years—shock towers are one example. The switch to aluminum, which saves weight but comes with additional cost, typically provides a positive cost/kg saved. One example: Audi replaced 10 stamped components with one casting (Fig. 1) in the A6 front shock tower.
24/7 Laser Cutting

Also, recognize that not all production parts can be run unmanned. For 24/7 production, focus on parts that are known to cut well, to allow the automation to do its job. Save the difficult parts for when the machine can be attended. Lastly, consider implementing AMRs to provide productivity gains. For decades manufacturers have implemented automated guided vehicles to improve material-handling efficiency in larger factories.
