From man to machine: how robots are redefining welding

Automated welding

Optimized welding seams and maximum efficiency in modern production

KUKA offers highly developed solutions and packages for automated welding based on advanced robot technology and many years of expertise. Our systems weld various metals quickly and reliably with the utmost precision. They guarantee consistently high weld quality, minimize defects and reduce rework. Flexible welding solutions from KUKA can be used for a variety of processes and increase workplace safety by reducing the risk to employees. You can also benefit from feasibility studies and trials at our global TechCenters to optimize your production even more efficiently and quickly.

All welding processes at a glance: high-precision welding technology

Arc welding

Arc welding is suitable for many metallic materials. We offer you the right equipment for efficient welding.

Spot welding

Robots, software and process technology: We offer perfectly matched welding technologies for cost-effective, efficient spot welding with robots.

Laser welding

In laser welding, the laser melts the material. The advantages of this process are the high welding speed and the low heat input.

Laser hybrid welding

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

Plasma welding

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

Laser metal deposition

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

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.

Linear friction welding

Linear friction welding is a pressure welding process. With this technology, the accelerated component oscillates with linear movements.

Friction stir welding (FSW)

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

Aluminum welding

Cost-effective and flexible solutions: from welding robots to welding cells and on to appropriate software options.

Other welding processes

Further specialized welding processes for demanding materials and firm joints.
