The robotic welding process
How is robotic welding done? What are the most modern systems, and what advantages do they bring to the welding process? Minifaber reveals every detail on the use of welding robots.
Robotic welding is a type of fully automatic welding based on the use of industrial robots. Robotic equipment performs the key welding processes: - MIG/MAG, TIG, LASER, - applied to weldable metals.
The advantages of robotic welding are repeatability, accuracy and higher productivity. That is why Minifaber offers you a robotic welding service, carried out in-house using our modern, up-to-date fleet of machines.
Robotic welding: how it works
Robotic welding is performed by anthropomorphic robots as well as welding cells.
The robot moves the welding torch in the case of MIG/MAG and TIG processes, or moves the focusing lens head in the case of LASER welding. Robots are a key part of a welding system, but the system has other parts. In fact, a welding system is composed not only of the robot but also the welding source, the positioner that moves and rotates the part, the welding gas supply and welding filler material feed, the connection cables and the software, which manages all these synergies.
Welding robots ensure the repeatability and quality of the welded product, and are tireless compared to an operator, especially in difficult applications with poorly accessible welding positions.
Types of robotic welding and its advantages
Robotic islands can be equipped with the key welding processes (MIG/MAG, TIG, LASER) for ferrous materials, stainless steel, aluminum and copper.
In addition to increased repeatability and difficult fabrication applications, the advantages include increased productivity as there is less scrap.
In medium and large fabrication runs, robotic welding reduces process waste due to operator fatigue. There isn’t always an available qualified welder, who is often employed to fine-tune new products.
Last but not least, robotic welding reduces risks to operators, who are not directly exposed to the hazards posed by the process.

Metal welding
We can apply the aforementioned processes to a wide range of different metals to obtain semi-finished or finished products.
Using these processes, we perform sheet metal welding on ferrous materials, aluminum, stainless steel, and copper.
