Manual welding limited productivity and made quality hard to keep stable: five Estun welding robots on 6 m rail tracks, with positioners and laser seam correction, now deliver consistent welds and up to 15% more output.
The challenge
- Manual welding limited productivity and slowed production cycles.
- Weld quality depended on the welder, which led to defects and rejects.
- Production was hard to keep stable from one batch to the next.
- Client
- Long-established manufacturer of passive metallic infrastructure
- Industry
- Steel construction – energy, telecom, utilities and railway infrastructure
- Solution
- 5 Estun welding robots on 6 m rails, 4 horizontal positioners, laser systems
- Scope
- Welding of metallic infrastructure components
The solution
- Robot Industries integrated five Estun welding robots at the client's plant.
- Each robot moves along a 6 m rail track to reach long parts.
- Four horizontal positioners present the parts in the right welding position.
- Laser systems identify positioning errors and correct them before welding.

Frequently asked questions
How are positioning errors handled?
Laser systems identify positioning errors of the parts and correct them, so the robot welds in the right place.
Can the robots weld long components?
Yes. In this project each of the five Estun robots runs on a 6 m rail track, supported by four horizontal positioners.
