Welding automation increases productivity
Welding is a crucial process in many manufacturing industries, but it can also be time-consuming and labor-intensive. That’s where welding automation comes in. By automating one or more aspects of the welding process, businesses can increase productivity, improve weld quality, and reduce labor costs. Welding automation can take many forms, from the use of robotic welding systems to fully automated welding cells.
Pemamek is specialized in designing and manufacturing welding and production automation solutions with over 50 years of experience. Welding automation solutions ensure safe operation, ergonomic comfort, and the high-volume output of quality products. When manufacturing critical components, quality needs to be built right into the production process. All PEMA welding automation solutions are designed to meet the demands of the modern heavy fabrication industry and you can select anything from a single piece of equipment to an entire production line from the wide PEMA offering.

Advantages of welding automation
There are many different types of welding automation, each with their own advantages and limitations. For example, robotic welding systems are highly versatile and can be programmed to perform a wide range of welding tasks with a high degree of precision. Automated welding cells, on the other hand, are typically designed for a specific welding application and can offer greater efficiency and consistency for that particular task.
The benefits of welding automation are numerous. By automating the welding process, businesses can reduce the risk of human error and improve weld quality, leading to fewer defects and less rework. Automation can also increase productivity and throughput, as well as reduce labor costs by freeing up employees to focus on other tasks. Additionally, welding automation can improve safety in the workplace by reducing the need for workers to perform repetitive or hazardous welding tasks.

Implementing welding automation into production
Implementing welding automation requires careful planning and consideration. Businesses need to select the right type of automation for their specific needs and ensure that their employees are properly trained to work with the new equipment. Pemamek always offers a turn-key delivery and is responsible for the whole delivery from planning to implementation and training. Our automation experts help you to start the automation journey smoothly and ensure a fast ROI for the investment.
For many companies the journey to welding automation starts with an investment in automated welding positioners. For those that see it as a launching point, the next step can include everything from column and booms, and rollerbeds to fully programmable robotic welders and software that allows for offline programming and full system integration and control.

Estanc, the biggest company in the process industry within the Baltics and Nordic countries, has relied on PEMA solutions for nearly a decade. Various PEMA solutions delivered to Estanc support the company’s vision of growing their business, and getting a faster return on investment while also creating a more sustainable world.
Customer case: Estanc improving welding automation with PEMA solutions
The first step when investing in welding automation is a series of discussions between management, welders, and Pemamek engineers. Every aspect of the process will be reviewed: who will be operating the cell, what customers are affected, shop floor size, etc. Pemamek believes a company’s seasoned welders are also the best welding cell operators and therefor they are intimately involved in the planning and implementation process. This means that the new automated welding cell is productive more quickly, as adoption time is significantly shorter.
