Upgrade your welding Process with MWES' Easy-Arc

To remain competitive, more and more industries are turning to robotic automation to fill their production welding needs. Properly designed and executed robotic welding systems can be over three times more efficient than traditional manual welding while providing high-quality results, consistent throughput and a solid return on investment.

Let Robots Perform Your Arc Welding

Traditionally, all arc welding work had been done with manual labor, however, over the last several decades more and more arc welding work has been transitioned over to robotic automation. Robotic arc welders provide a more consistent throughput and higher quality welds than traditional manual arc welding, with minimal downtime. For those reasons, robotic automation in the field of welding is rapidly growing every day.

Today, robotic arc welding is used globally in several key industries including automotive, military, aerospace, petrochemical, consumer products and more. Some of the industrial uses are steel frame/truss welding, constructing large steel enclosures and large machinery, and working in heavy gauge metals.

Why Transition Your Manufacturing to Robotic Welding

With the ongoing shortages of skilled welders, robotically automating your manufacturing operation is a reality. Advancements in robotics have made automation of even a few processes, a productive and cost-saving innovation that companies of any size can benefit from. Moreover, the MWES Easy-Arc robotic welding cart is a portable all-in-one robotic welding system that offers many distinctive benefits to organizations large or small. Whether it’s welding large steel trusses, structural framing, large cylinder assembly, framing for data center servers, automotive parts or small component welding, MWES has solutions for projects large and small.

Whether your parts are simple, have complex geometries or require heavy large-scale welding applications, MWES offers completely custom-built robot welding solutions that can accommodate all forms of welding. We also offer our Easy-Arc standard robotic welding cells and carts that handle various capability ranges and weld processes. Our AWS Certified Welding Inspectors (CWI) and AWS Certified Robotic Arc Welding Technicians (CRAW-T) will ensure high-quality results for your automation system.

We provide a wide range of robotic welding solutions and are highly knowledgeable at determining what’s needed to achieve our customer’s goals, regardless of the industry or welding operations needed.

Advantages to Robotic Welding Solutions

From improved productivity and adaptability to fewer weld distortions, here are seven advantages that businesses see when they invest in and implement robotic welding systems.

More Productivity

Robots are generally more efficient at welding tasks than humans are. With a robotic welding system, welded components can be processed between three to five times more efficiently than using manual welders. Robots can work continuously, with no need for breaks. They also have higher arc on-time percentages than professional welders.

Repeatability

To consistently replicate results, a manual welder has to gain a high skill level and maintain high concentration levels on each and every task. A robotic welder is capable of processing the same welding tasks with repeatable results continuously, for as long as is necessary.

Adaptability

Manual welders make use of several jigs, using different ones with different production runs. Robots reduce time spent changing tools with their grippers that can handle parts of any size or shape. These robotic grippers can grab a welding component, place it properly on the assembly and keep a firm hold on the part while performing welding processes on it.

Limiting Weld Distortions

Contractions and expansions of the base and weld metal during the heating and cooling phases of a welding process, lead to distortions. MWES designs robotic welders to be fine-tuned to properly size the weld based on the joint requirements. This reduces the number of necessary weld passes, allowing the robotic welder to complete the weld very efficiently and reduce the time that the metals are exposed to heat, thus reducing the chance of distortions.

Labor Solutions

When there is a lack of skilled manual welders, robotic welders can handle the workload, as well as reduce the number of additional hours a business needs for production purposes, since they alleviate the need to seek and train more welders.

Reduction in Sizing Errors

Manual welders determine the size of the weld based on the operator’s judgment. This could lead to larger welds than what was actually needed. Robot welders are programmed to select the correct dimensions of the joint required for the job, saving time and materials for each welding task.

Lowering Costs

Robots offer a variety of production cost-saving benefits. Robotic welders can fully produce parts at lower production costs by increasing overall productivity, quality and consistency across the entire welding process. Robots require less energy than manual welders and have fewer requirements for consumables, due to their improved efficiency with materials and with welding cycles.
