Fully automated welding processes are cool and plain fun to watch.\u00a0 Seemingly unattended robots performing their pre-programmed dance can be mesmerizing, but many processes are not suited to being fully automated.\u00a0 Robots can be great for high-volume, low variability production, but when the product mix is lower-volume with high product variability, robots are rarely the answer. In these instances, simple mechanized welding processes have revolutionized the welding industry and have provided numerous benefits over traditional welding methods.<\/p>\n

\"MechanizedWelding mechanization, generally, involves the use of a welding carriage or tractor<\/a><\/strong> to hold a welding torch in a constant position relative to the weld seam and provide precise motion control of the torch along the weld seam.\u00a0 Carriages are generally of two types: (i) those that use magnetic adhesion<\/a><\/strong> and guide arms to track the weld seam or (ii) rail mounted machines<\/strong><\/a> that travel along a geared track which is mounted to the workpiece (using magnets or vacuum systems) to provide directional control and speed regulation.\u00a0 Welding carriage systems can be set up quickly without complicated programming or precise geometries.\u00a0 This is why they excel in situations where the product mix is low volume or changes frequently.<\/p>\n
