Arc welding is a crucial process for joining metals in various industries. At Augmentus, we specialize in automating this complex process, offering cutting-edge robotic arc welding solutions that enhance efficiency, precision, and safety. Our expertise includes automation in robotics for welding, ensuring top-tier performance for all your needs.
What is Robotic Arc Welding?
Robotic arc welding, a type of automated welding, involves using robotic welding machines with robotic welding arms to join metal parts. Unlike traditional methods, using arc welding robots ensure consistent quality and can handle complex geometries with ease.
Types of Arc Welding
-
Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW)
This method uses a continuous wire feed as an electrode and an inert gas to shield the weld from contaminants. Robotic systems ensure uniform welds and reduce material wastage.
-
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)
GTAW uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. It provides precise control and is suitable for thin materials and intricate parts.
-
Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)
FCAW involves a wire electrode with a flux core that shields the weld. Robotic systems deliver precise control and uniform coverage, ideal for thick and heavy sections.
-
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
SMAW uses a consumable electrode coated in flux to lay the weld. Robotic systems ensure consistent application and reduce operator fatigue.

FAQ
-
What is an arc welding robot cell?
An arc welding robot cell, featuring a robotic welding arm, is an automated system designed to perform arc welding processes with high precision and consistency. These cells are commonly used in industrial settings to join metal parts by creating an electric arc between an electrode and the workpiece. The intense heat generated by the arc melts the metal, allowing it to fuse together as it cools.
