Dual Cobot Welding for High-Performance Long-Seam Welding

To support higher production targets and demanding weld quality requirements for a new customer project, RSI Automation deployed a dual collaborative robot welding solution designed for continuous long-seam welding applications.

By operating two CRP cobots within the same production workflow, the system helps reduce welding cycle time, improve production efficiency and maintain consistent weld quality.

The solution is suitable for manufacturers looking to automate repetitive welding processes while maintaining flexibility on the production floor.

Key Features of the Dual Cobot Welding Solution

Long-Reach Cobots for Extended Weld Seams

The system uses long-reach collaborative robot arms to provide the working range required for larger components and extended weld seams.

A 500A water-cooled welding torch system supports continuous welding by providing effective heat management during demanding welding applications.

This helps maintain welding stability during longer operating cycles and supports reliable production for heavy-duty welding requirements.

Dual-Cobot Setup to Improve Production Throughput

Two cobots operate in tandem within the welding process, allowing welding tasks to be distributed more efficiently.

Compared with relying on a single robot for the entire welding sequence, the dual-cobot configuration can help:

• Reduce overall welding cycle time

• Minimise production bottlenecks

• Improve utilisation of the welding station

• Support higher production volumes

• Meet tighter manufacturing lead times

This setup provides manufacturers with a practical way to increase welding capacity without depending entirely on additional manual welding resources.

Touch Sensing for More Consistent Weld Positioning

The cobot welding system is equipped with touch-sensing technology that helps detect the actual position of the workpiece before welding begins.

If there are small variations in component positioning or dimensions, the system can identify the offset and adjust the welding path accordingly.

This can help improve:

• Weld seam positioning

• Repeatability between workpieces

• Consistency of weld quality

• Reliability when handling normal part variations

Touch sensing is especially useful in robotic welding applications where workpieces may not be positioned in exactly the same location during every production cycle.

Complete Integration, Training and Technical Support

A successful robotic welding automation project involves more than installing the robot itself.

RSI Automation’s turnkey deployment included system integration, commissioning, operator training and technical support to help the customer’s production team operate the welding system effectively.

Operator training also helps production teams understand system operation, basic troubleshooting and daily operating requirements, supporting reliable production and reducing unnecessary downtime.

Improving Long-Seam Welding with Collaborative Robot Automation

For manufacturers handling repetitive or time-consuming welding operations, cobot welding automation can provide a more consistent and scalable production process.

By combining dual CRP cobots, long-reach robotic arms, a 500A water-cooled welding system and touch-sensing technology, this solution was designed to improve welding efficiency while maintaining the precision and consistency required for long-seam welding applications.
