Large steel components, welds at height and work spread across several sites: a magnetically mounted ZU 3 cobot now delivers uniform welds both in the workshop and on construction sites.
The challenge
- Welds had to be uniform and high quality, including in elevated or hard-to-reach areas.
- Manual welding in the workshop and on site took a long time and gave variable results.
- Repetitive work and welding at height caused operator fatigue and safety risks.
- Welding processes were hard to adapt to different project locations and structures.
- Client
- Construction company founded in 2007, design to execution, focused on industrial buildings
- Industry
- Construction – steel structures and industrial halls
- Country
- Republic of Moldova
- Solution
- ZU 3 collaborative welding robot with magnetic base
- Scope
- Workshop welding and on-site welding
The solution
- Robot Industries implemented the compact, mobile ZU 3 collaborative welding robot.
- The magnetic base mounts it on vertical, horizontal or angled metal surfaces without frames or fixed installations.
- Its 626 mm working radius and 3 kg payload cover large components and various welding torches.
- Plug-and-play setup lets the team move it quickly between the fabrication facility and construction sites.
Before and after
| Before | With the ZU 3 cobot | |
|---|---|---|
| Weld quality | Variable, affected by fatigue | Uniform force, positioning and timing |
| Long, repetitive welds | Time-consuming manual work | Standardised, shorter cycles |
| Welding at height | Strain and safety risks for operators | Handled by the robot |
| Mobility | Hard to adapt to each site | Mounted in minutes on any metal surface |

Frequently asked questions
Can the cobot weld directly on a construction site?
Yes. In this project the ZU 3 mounts magnetically on flat, angled or vertical metal surfaces and is moved between the workshop and active sites.
Does it need a fixed frame or installation?
No. It attaches to any metal surface without frames or mounting systems, with minimal setup time.
What is included?
Delivery, installation and configuration on site, team training and technical support.
