Resistance Welding Robots to Replace Riveting
Over the years, the riveting process has been improved through the use of industrial robots. Resistance welding robots can weld material together even better than rivets. Furthermore, robotic resistance welding brings greater speeds and strengths to a production line as well.
Decades ago, riveting was a common trade, just like welding. But, as processes changed and improved, it was found that resistance welding robots were able to weld material together more efficiently than anything that could be done with rivets. These resistance welds also hold up better and are stronger than rivets, which improves the overall quality of the vehicle.
There are several other benefits to choosing resistance welding for your production line, aside from the speed and strength of the robots used for the process. When it comes to joining sheet metals together, or metals of different thicknesses, a robotic resistance welder is the way to go. Unlike other welding applications, it can perform these difficult tasks with ease. However, these robots don’t only benefit manufacturers – they also benefit the employees. Welders no longer have to tote around the heavy, awkward resistance welding guns. Instead, they work to operate the resistance welding robotic system while the robot does all the heavy lifting. This leads to more production uptime and a lift in company morale as well.
