Utilisation of industrial robots in the repair of individual parts by means of welding technology: Economically viable even with a batch size of one
In most cases, the prerequisite for the
introduction of automated processes is a
high throughput of components of the same
type. However, pilot lot and just-in-time orders
with high variance of the incoming
components are characteristic of the “reconditioning
business“ which also includes
repair by means of welding technology. Using
the example of robot-assisted gas-shielded metal arc welding, the article explains
the suitability of automated processes even
for single-item fabrication.
