Leave comments if you have any difficulties with programming.

I left a comment now it`s not there now. I was making a smaller one that would sell like hot cakes. It went in the Floods. If you could make compact one. I would make you guys money for sure. I would love to be the first to try it. Too much to write

Just found your channel. Very interesting. Robotic welding has come a long way in a short time. New subscriber.

[@ABAGY]

Thanks and welcome

[@chriswilkinson2548]

What`s the Price of the program or complete system. Could you make a smaller unit for Home use. If you could make a compact unit. It would sell worldwide. I love to be the first one to try it. I was working something like that but ran out money. Everyone love my idea. Lost it all in the Floods here in Australia.

Thank you for your interest! We also like to be first. Now we work only with industrial solutions.

Is the old method a coordinate measurement machine (CMM)?

[@ABAGY]

In this video, we compared programming with a robot teach pendant and using software that does not require programming. We did not mention the coordinate measurement machine (CMM)

It would have been nice to compare the robotic welding time with manually weld time. The manual welder should also be allowed to use a positioner as that would improve quality and speed. In my welding shop we still do things manually - with positioners. However, I definitely want to learn more about the technology. We have a structural plasma robot that does all our cutting and it is quite simple to program - we create DSTV files using SigmaNest from our Solidworks files. It seems to be similar technology but applied to welding. For your structural steel solutions, do you supply software for any of the big vendors such as Voortman, Ficep, Peddinghaus. We are considering their solutions.

Thanks for your comment! It's a great point about comparing robotic welding times with manual welding times. Based on industry data, most welding suppliers have found that manual welding typically achieves an average arc time of about 15%, while robotic welding can reach up to 70% efficiency. This significant increase is due to the continuous operation and precision of robots. Regarding your question about structural steel solutions, we can definitely provide solutions similar to those offered by Voortman, Ficep, and Peddinghaus but we are focusing on final welding, not assembling (that would be a difference), because we are working mostly with high-mix manufacturers, while the solutions you mentioned are designed for some batches of relatively simple beams with few plates to be welded. If you're interested in learning more or discussing how we can help optimize your welding shop, feel free to reach out. We'd love to explore how our solutions can fit your specific needs!

How would start implementing this into my business? I work in integration and we use vision however still program everything by hand

[@ABAGY]

Let's discuss how we can streamline your integration process. Feel free to reach out to [e-mail]

Great I would like to know how to get into the AI robot business. I have done some welding with ABB robots. It is not too hard.

[@ABAGY]

Sounds good!

[@davidrichards3605]

Very interesting and impressive but they need to sort out the crater fill parameter, sounds awful.

[@ABAGY]

Thanks for the comment. Welding knowledge and technology is extremely important. The production specialist knows HOW to weld and can set the correct welding parameters, and the robot can complete the task with those parameters.

[@barriewright2857]

When you have hundreds of components and a dozen robots or more to produce these components, the manual method is to slow, but it's good for small batches or one off's. The AI method is way faster and more efficient and flexible to work with and use.

[@ABAGY]

Adaptive intelligent robots are most effective for high-mix production. The main advantage is the ability to easily switch from one product to another without robot programming. In this sense, a robot can be as flexible as a human.

[@DieselRamcharger]

and absolutely unreliable. but never mind that.

[@ABAGY]

ok

[@IamT10]

The pendant guy is just wasting time. He isn’t the real programmer or fanuc has terrible program.

[@ABAGY]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Our goal at Abagy is to make programming as efficient as possible, even for those who aren’t expert programmers. Unfortunately not every factory has a professional programmer or uses integrator's services. What challenges have you faced with programming in the past? Would love to hear more about your experiences!
