Building Apps That Teach Robots to Weld
Do you ever need high-quality welding for a project but lack the necessary personnel or tools?
Mike Teubert, our Senior Robotics Engineer, and Certified Welding Inspector, is developing innovative applications for the ABB GOFA Cobot designed to simplify the welding process. These Teach Pendant Apps enable individuals with no prior welding experience to achieve professional-level results effortlessly.
By simply entering the material thickness and specifying the start and end points of the weld, users can swiftly produce high-quality welds. The system allows for fine-tuning and automatically corrects for suboptimal angles, ensuring consistent results. No programming knowledge is required—just straightforward operation and excellent outcomes.
