Collaborative robots, also known as cobots, offer a straightforward entry point into automated welding production for small batches. On 4 June 2024, over 60 participants gathered at the welding laboratory at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences to learn about the potential applications, technical limitations and standard practical extensions when using collaborative robots for welding tasks.
The event began with two very interesting presentations by Christian Schmidt, a research assistant at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, and René Oelsch, Managing Director of OH-au2mate, on the wide range of potential applications and technical limitations of welding cobots. Afterwards, those interested in welding technology were able to experience for themselves how easy it is to programme the welding path and how intuitive the operation is during a series of demonstrations.
In addition, representatives from regional small and medium-sized enterprises had the opportunity to present their vacancies for work placements, final-year projects or entry-level roles to the students.
The lively discussions and the positive feedback from many participants show that simple automation solutions are of great importance to SMEs in the welding sector. Furthermore, the format of the networking meetings at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences provides production managers and welding supervisors with a good platform for exchanging ideas and further training on innovations in welding technology.
The welding laboratory team would like to thank all participants for their interest, and we look forward to more lively discussions and continued interest in new welding ideas in the future.
