For manufacturers, achieving consistently high welding quality is a complex problem. Any slight misalignment or miscalculation in force can lead to bending of sheet metal, inaccurate welding force, and ultimately, defective welds. Traditional welding guns use mechanical equalizing systems to combat these issues, but this solution isn’t without its drawbacks. These systems are often complicated,…

In manufacturing, the complexity and challenges of welding aluminum components have long been a roadblock. Aluminum’s inherent properties, including surface oxidation and the propensity to build up caps, interfere with welding quality and efficiency. This not only increases time and cost but also shortens the lifespan of welding tips. KUKA, an industrial automation pioneer, has…

In today’s advanced automotive manufacturing landscape, the emphasis on the use of lightweight materials such as high-strength steel grades, aluminum, and aluminum alloys has never been greater. As industries evolve, they necessitate the development of innovative technologies to ensure the highest quality spot welds, given these materials require a high degree of force accuracy. For…

The world of manufacturing is continuously challenged by the demand for precision, efficiency, and reliability. Especially in welding operations, the quality of results heavily depends on achieving accurate and consistent pressures, which can be a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. This is where the KUKA.ServoGun steps in, fundamentally transforming the traditional welding calibration process to drive…

Industrial manufacturers face a myriad of challenges, with one of the most critical being achieving consistent, high-quality spot welding. Factors such as gun positioning, weld force, and dynamic gun compensation directly impact the quality and integrity of the welds. Manufacturers have long depended on standard torque-controlled guns, which use motor current to reach the target…

In the high-speed and precision-demanding world of manufacturing, any slight error in spot welding can result in costly and time-consuming reworks, and even product recalls. Manufacturers are constantly challenged with maintaining consistent welding quality, dealing with hard-to-weld materials, minimizing maintenance costs, and preventing rapid welding tip wear. The ultimate solution to these problems lies not…
