Comau and Fincantieri have introduced the MR4Weld mobile robotic welding system. The robot is being tested and will be subsequently used within Fincantieri shipyards to autonomously weld steel structures, with a possible three-fold increase compared to a manual process, the company states.
The system features a high-payload, 6-axis articulated robot fitted with a welding torch that is installed on a tracked undercarriage and equipped with an integrated vision system to autonomously identify welding joints. It is designed to help improve welding quality while reducing ergonomic risks. Robot For Welding
The system can be managed by a single operator during transfer and welding activities. It uses digital tools to collect welding and production data that can be used to record the welded joints.
