Automation for arc welding with KUKA

KUKA offers a wide range of automation components, function packages and cells as standard products that are quickly available. They can be combined in a modular fashion and flexibly adapted to specific requirements. 

Always one step ahead: Arc welding with KUKA

In addition to conventional welding functions, KUKA – as a thought leader and trailblazer – offers permanent security of investment through the smart capability of integration into the digital and networked world of production. The result is greater effectiveness and flexibility throughout the entire value chain for industrial welding. 

Technical expertise, years of experience and a broad product portfolio for welding automation – with KUKA it is all from a single source

KUKA enables the customer to get involved in the trial welds in order to develop the best possible application.

Welding robots, positioners and welding cells:
standardized modular components that can be ideally combined

KUKA offers ideal solutions for all welding automation requirements – from individual arc welding robots with high path accuracy to preconfigured welding cells and fully-automated welding systems. A wide range of positioners and welding technology software as well as linear units round out the portfolio for perfectly coordinated overall packages.

Software and sensor technology – no matter how complex the welding task

Additional welding processes for industrial automation:

Laser hybrid welding

Laser hybrid welding combines laser welding and arc welding. This leads up to higher welding speeds and improved seam quality.
Laserlassen

Laser welding

From automotive to aerospace – laser welding is suitable for many different areas of application. The technology offers decisive advantages in the production of medium and large batch sizes.
Lassercladden

Laser metal deposition

During laser metal deposition, a surface layer is created by means of melting and simultaneous application of virtually any given material.
Plasmalassen

Plasma welding

Plasma welding is a further development of TIG welding. It is being used in automated production on an increasingly regular basis.

Magnetarc welding

Magnetarc welding is part of the pressure welding processes. It joins hollow sections with wall thicknesses of up to ten millimeters.
Puntlassen

Spot welding

Spot welding is a type of resistance welding. The welding process is used primarily in the automotive industry.
Aluminium Lassen

Friction welding

Friction welding is a pressure welding process. This technology can be used to join materials of the same type or of different types.

Friction stir welding (FSW)

Friction stir welding (FSW) is particularly suitable for joining non-ferrous metals with a low melting temperature.
