Merry Christmas – with a little help from the robot

Whether it's the side walls of high-speed trains, the battery containers of electric cars or the tank structures of launch vehicles: Various industries have special requirements for weld seams. Friction stir welding has established itself as a particularly innovative joining technique. In order to monitor the quality of the weld seams during the process and thus reduce the time and costs of the subsequent inspection, KUKA is working on an AI-based process monitoring system together with other partners in the KI-Produktionsnetzwerk Augsburg.
