Large, unique steel parts such as 3-meter columns with many weld points took long hours of manual welding: a vision-guided robot now plans and adjusts each weld from the part's 3D model.
The challenge
- Components are large, unique and complex, such as steel columns up to 3 meters high.
- Each piece needs multiple weld points and careful handling, so manual welding was slow and labor-intensive.
- Even minor errors can affect structural integrity and project quality.
- Client
- Industrial construction company: steel halls and metal structures, from design to installation
- Industry
- Steel construction
- Country
- Republic of Moldova
- Solution
- Industrial welding robot and RI 3D CodeFree welding system
- Scope
- Welding of large and one-off structural steel components
The solution
- An industrial welding robot with a 500A water-cooled power source, torch cleaner and 2,000 mm reach handles the high-volume welds.
- For one-off parts, the RI 3D CodeFree system uses vision-guided laser tracking and imports 3D designs (Digital Twin).
- It detects part variations, plans the welding path and adjusts in real time, with one-click weld extraction and auto-calibration.
- Built-in technique libraries let operators without extensive programming experience produce stable welds.
- Cloud connectivity shows management equipment status, production progress and welding quality.
Vision- and laser-guided welding system that creates weld paths from 3D models, without manual programming.

| Before | With RI 3D CodeFree | |
|---|---|---|
| Large unique parts | Welded by hand, piece by piece | Weld paths planned from the 3D model |
| Part variations | Corrected manually | Detected and adjusted in real time |
| Programming | Required specialist skills | Technique libraries and one-click extraction |
| Oversight | Little visibility into welding progress | Cloud monitoring of status and quality |

Frequently asked questions
Can it weld one-off parts without long programming?
Yes. The system imports the 3D design, extracts the welds with one click and plans the path, while laser tracking adapts to each workpiece.
Which weld types does it support?
In this project it handles multi-pass, continuous, T-joint and butt-joint welds on structural steel components up to 3 m.
What is included?
Delivery, installation and configuration on site, team training and technical support.
