Home » Applications » Stud Welding
In stud welding, studs and other fasteners are permanently attached to a workpiece. When this process is automated, a robot or cobot handles the positioning and guides the welding tool precisely to the defined welding points.
Automated stud welding is particularly well-suited for recurring processes that require consistent positioning and high repeatability.
Manual stud welding involves many repetitive steps. Each stud must be positioned correctly, and the welding process must be carried out reliably.
This can create challenges, especially as production volumes increase:
An automated solution can help ensure that these steps are performed consistently and reduce the workload on employees.
The cobot automatically moves the stud welding tool to the predefined positions on the workpiece. The respective welding process is performed at each of these positions. The cobot then moves on to the next welding point.
Position → Feed bolt → Weld → Move to next weld point
Programmed motion sequences allow the individual welding positions to be approached with high repeatability.
If the workpiece or the position of the bolts changes, the process can be adjusted accordingly. This makes a cobot suitable for flexible production environments and varying tasks.
Defined positions are approached reliably and reproducibly.
Consistent Quality
Automated processes help ensure consistent welding results.
Take the Pressure Off Employees
The cobot handles repetitive and monotonous tasks.
Flexible Production
Different workpieces and bolt positions can be accommodated.
Less rework
Reproducible processes can reduce errors and the amount of rework required.
Efficient Automation
Recurring stud welding processes can be automated in a targeted manner.
Whether your stud welding process can be automated depends, among other things, on the workpiece, the studs, the welding positions, and the desired production sequence.
