MIG MAG Robot Welding in Research and Education

Abstract

As the number of welding experts as well as the cost of automation is decreasing, the application of robotics is gaining significance in this field. The aim of the paper is to introduce the automation of the production of a particular part as a use case for university studies and experimental setup for further research. The part was previously hand-welded, but the increasing annual order number made automation necessary. The paper introduces a new welding jig utilizing a robotic arm.
