The welding robot has the characteristics of stable performance, large working space, fast movement speed and strong load capacity. The welding quality is obviously better than manual welding, which greatly improves the productivity of spot welding operations.
Spot welding robots are mainly used for the welding of complete automobiles, and the production process is completed by major automobile OEMs. International industrial robot companies rely on long-term cooperative relationships with major automobile companies to provide various spot welding robot cell products to major automobile manufacturers and enter China in the form of welding robots and vehicle production lines, occupying a leading market position in this field.
With the development of the automobile industry, the welding production line requires the integration of welding tongs, and the weight is getting heavier. The 165 kg spot welding robot is currently the most commonly used robot in automobile welding. In September 2008, the Robotics Research Institute completed the development of the first 165 kg spot welding robot in China and successfully applied it in the welding workshop of Chery Automobile. In September 2009, the second robot optimized and improved in performance was completed and successfully passed the acceptance. The overall technical indicators of the robot have reached the level of similar foreign robots.
