The accessible path to greater efficiency with Comau advanced robotics
Many manufacturers recognize the benefits of automating their welding processes but often face roadblocks with traditional industrial robots. The perceived high cost, complex programming, and large footprints are often impractical for smaller welding tasks. This leaves many businesses relying on manual welding, limiting scalability and consistent quality, all while the possibility of affordable welding automation seems like a distant goal.

Addressing Welding Challenges with Collaborative Robotics
Guided by Comau, a worldwide leader in industrial automation, this growing metal manufacturer decided to take a leap into welding automation through a collaborative robot solution. The Comau MyCo cobot’s compact design was ideal for places with little space, integrating directly into their existing workshop layout without the need for safety cages or significant re-engineering.
With enough payload to carry the welding torch while maintaining high-quality welding results, it was immediately deployed for repetitive arc welding tasks. The intuitive programming meant existing staff could operate the cobot with minimal training.
Results
Within six months, the results were clear: a 35% increase in welding throughput compared to manual welding and, thanks to the cobot’s operational stability and sharp focus on welding accuracy, a 10% reduction in material waste. Just as importantly, automating these repetitive processes created a safer work environment with less opportunities for on-site injuries. Crucially, the low initial investment and rapid deployment meant a return on investment, proving that advanced welding automation is accessible and highly profitable for businesses of all sizes.
