The Ultimate Guide to Cobot Welding: Everything You Need to Know
The welding industry is facing a growing challenge: a severe shortage of skilled welders. In the U.S., the American Welding Society (AWS) estimates that 320,500 new welding professionals will be needed by 2029, while more than 157,000 welders are approaching retirement.
The situation is just as critical in Europe, where the European Welding Federation (EWF) reports a shortage of around 300,000 qualified welders.
Cladding Explained: Understanding Its Role and Applications
What is cladding?
Think of cladding like putting a protective coat on a metal surface, but instead of paint, we’re using another metal with special properties.
Hardfacing in welding
What is hardfacing?
Hardfacing is a technique used to make metal surfaces stronger and more resistant to wear and tear. It involves applying a layer of a harder, more durable material on top of a softer metal.

Consistency and Safety: It Is Possible With a welding cobot
The welding cobot will produce the same amount of output over time. Unlike humans, whose productivity drops over time, cobots will continue to work at a constant level if they are connected to a power source and programmed. It will perform the same amount of work according to what has been programmed for the task, regardless of how long it runs or how difficult it is.
