Problems worth solving in robotic welding.

Every product starts from an industrial problem. These are the ones we work on.

01

High-mix robotic welding

  • General fabrication
  • Agricultural and construction equipment
  • Steel structures

Problem

Small batches and frequent new parts mean robots spend more time waiting for programs than welding. Programming expertise is scarce and becomes the bottleneck of the cell.

Answer

Lumen Weld® generates welding programs from CAD assemblies. Engineers prepare new jobs offline while the cell keeps producing.

  • Programming moves from the shop floor to the engineering desk
  • New parts no longer require a specialist robot programmer
  • The cell keeps welding while the next job is prepared
  • Lumen Weld
02

Part localisation and deviation compensation

  • General fabrication
  • Steel structures
  • Heavy fabrication

Problem

Parts are never exactly where, or exactly what, the model says. Offline programs inherit cutting, fit-up and fixturing tolerances.

Answer

FalconEye® measures the part in 3D with a robot-mounted camera; TouchMaster® locates it by touch with the welding wire. Both correct the program before welding.

  • Offline programs that hold on real parts
  • Less manual touch-up of programmed points
  • A localisation method matched to each cell
  • FalconEye
  • TouchMaster
03

Welding parts without CAD

  • Shipbuilding
  • Heavy fabrication
  • Repair and maintenance

Problem

Legacy parts, repairs and large structures often have no 3D model. Without one, automatic programming cannot start.

Answer

EagleEye® reconstructs a CAD model from a 3D scan, so the part can enter the same automatic programming workflow as any modelled part.

  • A path to automation for parts that were never modelled
  • Reconstructed models that can be reviewed and reused
  • Digital twins of real scenes
  • EagleEye
  • Lumen Weld
04

Multipass submerged arc welding

  • Wind energy
  • Pressure vessels
  • Heavy structures

Problem

Thick circumferential joints take dozens of passes. Quality depends on pass planning, constant adaptation and documentation that certification can rely on.

Answer

Quantum® plans passes, adapts the torch to the measured groove, records process data pass by pass and produces structured conformance documentation.

  • Repeatable pass execution
  • Adaptive behaviour operators can understand
  • Complete traceability per joint and per pass
  • Quantum
05

Weld inspection and traceability

  • General fabrication
  • Metal component manufacturing
  • Regulated fabrication

Problem

Manual inspection cannot keep pace with robotic production, and unrecorded quality cannot be demonstrated.

Answer

Lynx® inspects robotic MIG/MAG welds with a robot-mounted sensor, online or offline. Quantum® includes geometric inspection for SAW.

  • Deviations found at the seam where they occur
  • Per-seam quality records
  • Evidence for customers and auditors
  • Lynx
  • Quantum
06

Robotic cell commissioning

  • Robotic welding cells

Problem

Calibrating a new welding cell is manual, time-consuming and dependent on individual experience, yet every offline program relies on it.

Answer

OriginX® makes commissioning and calibration of a robotic welding cell a measured, repeatable and documented procedure.

  • Consistent commissioning quality
  • A documented reference state for every cell
  • A reliable foundation for offline programming
  • OriginX
