This turnkey automated welding station gives students training and skills in production welding methods, robotic programming and control.

Using RoboCell software students safely perform entire welding processes in 3D simulation before executing actual automated welding applications.

Students learn to overcome common welding problems, such as thermal deformation, by adjusting welding technique. Students also learn to improve weld quality by optimizing important welding parameters such as wire feed rate, robot speed, inert gas shield and voltage.

Safety is an integral part of the system. The robotic workbench is housed in a fire retardant metal booth with filter-plated windows for UV and eye protection. Opening a booth door automatically halts the welding operation. Pressing either of two emergency buttons immediately halts both robotic and welding operations.
