RI 3D CodeFree Welding Robot – Vision & Laser Guided System for Industrial Hall Production

Client Overview
 

The client is a leading industrial construction company based in Republic of Moldova, specializing in industrial hall fabrication and metal structures. With extensive experience in design, planning, production, and installation, the company delivers comprehensive solutions for industrial, commercial, and agricultural projects.

Equipped with modern manufacturing facilities and advanced machinery, the company is capable of executing complex projects, including steel hall structures, laser and plasma cutting, welding, and surface treatment. Their commitment to quality, efficiency, and reliability has made them a trusted partner for a wide range of clients seeking durable and precise industrial constructions.

Initial Situation

The client manages large-scale industrial hall projects, where welding components are often large, unique, and complex, such as steel columns reaching 3 meters in height. Each piece requires multiple weld points and careful handling, making manual welding time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Ensuring precision and consistency across these large and varied components is critical, as even minor errors can affect the structural integrity and overall project quality. The client sought a solution that could accelerate production, maintain high welding accuracy, and handle large, custom components efficiently.

Solution Implemented
 

To meet the client’s need for high-volume and precise welding of large and unique industrial hall components, an industrial welding robot with a 500A water-cooled power source and torch cleaner, 2000mm reach was selected. This setup allowed the client to achieve high throughput across multiple large parts while ensuring consistent quality.

For custom and one-off components, the RI 3D CodeFree Welding System was implemented. Using vision-guided laser tracking and the ability to import 3D designs (Digital Twin), the system can automatically detect variations in parts, plan optimal welding paths, and adjust in real time. Key features include one-click weld extraction, automatic technique matching, and auto-calibration, enabling rapid production with minimal manual intervention.

The system also integrates cloud connectivity and digital production monitoring, allowing management to track equipment status, monitor multiple welding tasks, and optimize workflow. With built-in technique libraries, even operators without extensive programming experience can maintain stable, high-quality welds, while the system supports multi-pass, continuous, T-joint, and butt-joint welding, making it versatile across all types of structural steel components.

Results
 

The implementation of the RI 3D CodeFree Welding System has provided the client with a reliable tool to manage the welding of large and unique industrial hall components, including steel columns and other structural elements measuring up to 3 meters. The system supports improved consistency and precision in multi-point welds, helping reduce manual effort and allowing staff to focus on other critical aspects of production.

The vision-guided and laser-tracking capabilities enable the system to automatically detect and adapt to variations in each workpiece, minimizing the risk of errors and the need for rework. The Digital Twin functionality allows operators to simulate and plan welding processes in advance, ensuring that each task can be executed more efficiently.

Through cloud connectivity and real-time monitoring, management can track equipment status, production progress, and welding quality across multiple components, gaining insights that assist in workflow optimization and planning. While the system is still being fine-tuned for maximum performance in certain complex or oversized pieces, it already helps the client complete intricate welding tasks more efficiently and maintains a level of quality that supports ongoing industrial hall projects.

Overall, the RI 3D CodeFree Welding System provides a significant operational support, enhancing productivity, consistency, and oversight without overstating results, making it a valuable addition to the client’s fabrication processes.
