High-mix robotic welding for rail and rolling-stock components.
For small welded parts used in rail and rolling-stock production, geometry can change frequently with order volume and vehicle type. Dedicated equipment or part-by-part robot teaching can make changeovers disproportionately time-consuming.
Industry image (not a photo from a real project)
Setup workload grows with each change in product mix.
- High-mix production of small weld parts related to rolling stock
- Frequent changeover as order volume and vehicle type shift
- Burden of handling differently shaped workpieces in the same process
- Slow startup when conventional teaching is assumed
An application for small railway weldments where product mix and geometry changes create frequent changeovers.
Application example from a live project
Vision-based workpiece recognition loads multiple part types together and welds them in sequence. A layout aimed at reducing teaching burden from changeover in high-mix small-part welding.
