WINDUS Independently Designed and Completed the Layout and Application of the Welding Robot Workstation

This year, after receiving a significant batch order for customer products, our company swiftly initiated production arrangements. To meet the demands of this order, the manufacturing center established a dedicated welding robot workstation and formed a specialized project team. A kick-off meeting was held, during which Li Xin, the project’s chief engineer, presented the initial structural layout plan for the workstation, based on preliminary research. The team engaged in thorough discussions, and the plan was subsequently revised to incorporate valuable feedback.

The project team made several critical modifications to optimize the workstation, including raising the robot base by 540mm to expand welding space and enhance flexibility. Additionally, the welding gun was replaced with a 75° short gooseneck model, improving programming efficiency and enabling all-position welding. The workstation layout was meticulously organized, with welding output equipment such as the welding machine and control cabinet rearranged for better functionality. Two review meetings were conducted to finalize the transformation plan for the positioner, resulting in modifications to its large base plate, rotating bracket, V-seat device, and power assembly, significantly improving convenience and safety.

After nearly one and a half months, the robot workstation was successfully completed, covering approximately 32m². The workstation allows the robot to perform circumferential welding from three sides, with a maximum turning radius of 1440mm. A multifunctional welding platform was installed on the south side for small components, while the left side features fixed welding tooling. Following installation and debugging, the team conducted ten test welds, confirming that the robot performs continuous welding flawlessly, with quality meeting all requirements. Compared to manual welding, the robot reduces welding time by half, significantly boosting production efficiency.

This metal Casting and Fabricated Parts production process has not only shortened the production cycle but also replaced hazardous, repetitive, and labor-intensive tasks with high-precision robotic operations. The result is improved product quality consistency, reduced labor costs, and enhanced overall efficiency. This achievement underscores our commitment to innovation and excellence in metal casting and Fabricated Parts manufacturing.
