Collaborative robotic welding
The entire welding robot package under one roof and available from stock. Universal Robots arm, Smooth Robotics software, Fronius or Miller MIG power source and a Siegmund Welding Table. Installed, commissioned, and your operators trained on it.
Increase production and reduce your lead times by automating your processes. Four things a Cobot Welding System can change on the shop floor.
Your skilled welders focus on the complex tasks that demand their unique skills, letting the cobot complete the repetitive and boring jobs.
Repetitive jobs automatedA typical welding job takes only a few minutes to set up and program, so larger jobs can be accepted with confidence.
Minutes to set upConsistent welds mean fewer reworks, less time cleaning weld spatter, and savings on raw material and labour.
Payback in 6 to 18 monthsAccurate to ± 0.05 mm per ISO 9283, which means unmatched repeatability and quality on every part that comes off the table.
± 0.05 mm, ISO 9283We visited Dan at Mettech Precision to get his honest feedback on how the Cobot Welding System has revolutionised production in his business.
“It’s just repeatable. It just does the same thing every time. We’ve gone from manually welding it to doing it four times faster with a cobot so it’s exponentially helped our production.”

Every component comes from ESCCO, an authorised UK distributor for Universal Robots, on one order, with one point of contact. Configurations are customisable around the welder and the fixture table size your work needs. Watch the package walkthrough.
Six axis collaborative arm, 7.5 kg to 30 kg payload and reach between 950 mm and 1750 mm. Force sensing, collision detection and virtual safety planes as standard.
Built for welders. Teach the weld by hand, then run it. A job takes only a few minutes to set up and program.
An automated MIG power source matched to your material and thickness, in the configuration your work needs.
System 16, 22 or 28 fixturing so the part lands in the same place every cycle. This is what makes the repeatability real.
A fully enclosed welding cell where arc screening or floor space dictates it.
Using the same SmoothTool Software, your Cobot Welding System can also be used for Plasma Cutting, by simply changing the welding torch for a plasma torch.
Two numbers decide it: how heavy the torch and part handling is, and how far the arm has to reach across your table. Find your corner of the chart, then check the table.
