At Allied Metal Products, we are constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance our capabilities and deliver the highest quality products to our customers. As a leading metal fabricator and machine shop specializing in stainless steel and aluminum, we take pride in our extensive range of services, including laser cutting, forming, machining, and welding. Today, we are excited to announce the addition of a revolutionary new tool to our lineup: the cobot welder.
What is a Cobot Welder?
A cobot, or collaborative robot, is designed to work alongside human operators, enhancing productivity and precision. Our new cobot welder, manufactured by Hirebotics, utilizes a UR10 cobot mounted on a Siegmund weld table. Equipped with a Miller 350 MPa MIG welder and a Tregaskiss torch, and controlled by the advanced Beacon welding platform, this cutting-edge technology represents a significant leap forward in our welding capabilities.
Key Features and Capabilities
The new cobot welder at Allied Metal Products boasts several impressive features:
Precision Welding: With its advanced programming, the cobot welder can execute precise welds, ensuring consistency and high quality in every project. Versatility: The cobot is capable of welding stainless steel, mild steel, and aluminum, making it an invaluable addition to our diverse production needs. Extended Reach: With a reach of 52 inches, the cobot can handle a wide range of welding tasks, providing flexibility in our operations. Enhanced Safety: Designed to work safely alongside human operators, the cobot welder is equipped with state-of-the-art sensors to prevent accidents and ensure a safe working environment. Increased Efficiency: The cobot can operate continuously without fatigue, significantly increasing our production speed and reducing lead times.
###Benefits for Our Company The integration of the cobot welder into our operations brings numerous benefits:
Improved Quality: The precision and consistency of the cobot’s welds mean fewer defects and higher quality products for our customers. Cost Savings: By increasing efficiency and reducing waste, the cobot welder helps lower production costs, allowing us to offer competitive pricing. Employee Empowerment: With the cobot handling repetitive and complex welding tasks, our skilled workforce can focus on more strategic and creative aspects of production, leading to greater job satisfaction and innovation.
Impact on Our Workforce
At Allied Metal Products, we believe in empowering our employees through technology. The cobot welder is not here to replace our skilled welders but to work alongside them, enhancing their capabilities and reducing the physical strain of repetitive tasks. Our team has undergone specialized training to work effectively with the cobot, ensuring a seamless integration into our production process.
Looking Ahead The acquisition of the cobot welder is a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence. This new platform will allow us to improve throughput, complementing our existing weld staff and preparing us for a more automated future. As we continue to invest in state-of-the-art technology, we are excited about the possibilities it brings for our company and our customers. This new addition aligns with our vision for the future, where advanced technology and skilled craftsmanship work hand in hand to deliver superior products.
At Allied Metal Products, we are more equipped than ever to meet the evolving needs of our clients. We look forward to showcasing the capabilities of our new cobot welder in upcoming projects and demonstrating the tangible benefits it brings.
