Welding Technology: Robotics, Automation & Cobots: Cobots are increasingly intuitive — if you can create a song playlist you can program a weld sequence using an app on a mobile device, for example. What started as an ideal solution for high-mix, low-volume work has evolved to major shifts such as supporting the acceleration in the adoption of laser welding; portability — bringing the cobot to the work such as welding three-story construction equipment, and in shipbuilding, and; the addition of coordinated motion to significantly optimize cycle times and follow precise toolpaths.Cobot manufacturers, integrators, and welding equipment manufacturers continue to improve on cobot technologies to overcome the ongoing skilled welder shortage — 82,500 welding jobs need to be filled annually between now and 2028.
