Designed for welders

Robots vs Cobots Which one is the right path for your welding operations? “Should we automate?” isn’t the question. It’s how you automate without losing quality, flexibility or uptime, and attract more young welders in business Don’t start with hardware. Start with arc-on time. Most manual shops run 20–30% arc-on time once non-welding work is counted. What steals it? Handling, fit-up, repositioning, changeovers, finishing work such as grinding. With cobots, for instance, weld quality and appearance are highly consistent so the seams need little to no post-weld finishing. Robots dominate when joints are repeatable, fixturing is rigid and runs are long. Once the weld path is taught and proven, you get cycle-time control, scalable output and typically 60–80% arc-on time, while small series can be slower to ramp up due to programming and trial-weld time. Cobots win the flexibility range which entails high-mix work + frequent changeovers → redeploy fast without rebuilding the whole cell. A simple way to lift arc-on time with cobots is the two-fixture flow. Prep Part B while the cobot welds Part A and achieve 70%+ arc-on time in many setups. Let's face it: skilled welders are not easily available. Cobots help because they: handle basic, repeatable welding with consistent quality Give newcomers a modern path: operator → cobot operator → welding/automation specialist So the real question is, what’s your #1 goal right now? 1) Throughput/scale 2) Flexibility/changeovers 3) Quality consistency 4) Workforce availability #Kemppi #KemppiWelding #CobotWelding #RobotWelding

Most manual shops run 20–30% arc-on time once non-welding work is counted. What steals it? Handling, fit-up, repositioning, changeovers, finishing work such as grinding. Robots are the scale play entailing bigger investment, best for repeatable long runs. Cobots are the flexibility + workforce play which are ideal for fast changeovers, easy redeploy, great for basic repeatable welds. The goal shouldn’t be automation for automation’s sake, it should be lifting arc-on time without creating downtime elsewhere.
