Only a few years ago, collaborative robots, or cobots, were rolled out to demonstrate their viability in welding applications. An operator—who didn’t need to be a welder—could take the cobot, teach it by moving it along the prospective weld path, and start the welding process.

One of the biggest mistakes a small to mid-size fabricator makes has nothing to do with equipment, personnel or partnerships. Rather, the error lies in dismissing automation as beyond what they need or can afford. Automation positions manufacturers for long-term success in an increasingly digital world. Reducing manual or repetitive efforts frees up skilled workers to focus on higher value tasks, minimizes errors, improves product quality and grows profitability through increased production capacity.

Discover welding's future with Cincinnati Inc.'s EZ Weld robotic TIG cell, revolutionizing fabrication shops. In a field dominated by automated MIG welding, the EZ Weld stands out, streamlining the transition from manual to automated processes. With a Universal Robots (UR) cobot, it offers cost-effective precision, addressing skilled labor shortages. Explore its unique features, safety protocols, and reported productivity boosts of 45 to 65 percent, making it an essential choice for fabricators seeking efficiency in welding operations.

For decades technology in the form of automation has been the sole domain of large global manufacturing enterprises. Today, CINCINNATI Incorporated is changing the game by making automation more accessible for many small to mid-size manufacturers.

Automation is the word in manufacturing today, and Cincinnati Incorporated is continuing its tradition of innovation with the introduction of the industry’s newest welding technology. Simple to use and easy to program, the CINCINNATI Cobotic 100T Welding Cell is the first of its kind for TIG welding.
