This welding automation solution utilizes the Rainbow Robotics RB-3 collaborative robot combined with a TIG welder to weld the bended sections of metal plates. It is characterized by fast teaching capabilities and high space efficiency.

In manual welding, quality varies significantly based on the operator's skill level. Additionally, due to the harsh working conditions, securing skilled welders is becoming increasingly difficult.

With this solution, even unskilled workers can manage the loading and unloading of workpieces, while the robot handles the critical welding tasks. This ensures consistent, high-quality production regardless of human fatigue or skill level.

Components

Robot
  • Robot: Rainbow Robotics RB-3

    • 6-axis articulated collaborative robot.

    • Payload: 3kg (Ideal for precision TIG torch handling)

    • Repeatability: ±0.1mm

    • Reach: 1,200mm (Extended version for wider coverage)

    • Weight: 22.7kg

    • Environmental Rating: IP66 (Dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets)

  • Installation Footprint: Approximately 1.5m x 2m (Compact design)

Workflow

STEP 1.Loading: The operator fixes the workpiece to be welded into the specialized jig.
STEP 2.Execution: The operator clicks the "Work Start" button on the interface.
STEP 3.Welding: The robot performs high-precision TIG welding along the corner edges of the bent plate.

Recommended Use Cases

Metal Machining Assistance for Two WIA Turning Centers using Hyundai Robots

Metal Machining Assistance for Two WIA Turning Centers using Hyundai Robots

This machine tending solution utilizes a Hyundai HH7 robot mounted on a linear track (7th axis) to assist metal machining across two WIA Turning Centers (HD2200Y). By leveraging a compact industrial robot and an additional 7th axis, the footprint required for automation is minimized. To ensure operator safety, an integrated robot safety fence was applied, and sensors were installed to decelerate or stop the robot upon detecting human proximity. Furthermore, the automation of both pre- and post-processing via conveyors enables 24-hour unmanned continuous production.

Faucet Assembly using Five Doosan M0609 Units

Faucet Assembly using Five Doosan M0609 Units

This assembly automation solution utilizes five Doosan M0609 collaborative robots to fully automate the end-to-end assembly process of faucets. Previously, this process required a large number of workers to manually assemble each unit. By integrating collaborative robots with a conveyor system, continuous production across the entire process has been achieved. The transition from a manual line (where 5 workers produced 1,000 units per day) to an automated line (where 2 workers produce 1,200 units per day) has resulted in a significant improvement in productivity.

Cable Tray ARC Welding using Dual Synchronized Panasonic Robots

Cable Tray ARC Welding using Dual Synchronized Panasonic Robots

This welding automation solution features two Panasonic industrial robots working in perfect synchronization to perform multi-angle welding on long beam structures. By deploying dual robots to work simultaneously on both sides of the beam and utilizing a dual-jig (front and back) arrangement, the system ensures continuous operation and exceptionally high productivity. The integrated Panasonic TAWERS system enables high-speed welding and superior bead quality. Since the welding power source, robot, and wire feeder are provided as a single unified package, rapid installation and precise tuning are possible.
