Another essential factor is the capability of bearing the imposed load. Steel will provide sufficient strength to sustain high-bearing loads without damage to the working unit.
You can fully automate the manufacturing system by integrating the 3D welding tables with robotic arms or manipulators. All the units that will work in a synchronized motion will be connected with a central unit from where the command will be conveyed.
While the workpiece is assembled and positioned on the working platform of the welding table, the robotic arm can continue the welding adhered to the command.
It will create a complete set carrying out varying motions of different units to perform a singular task. With the automated manufacturing system, you can create longitudinal seam welding on the workpiece.
How does the modern 3D welding table compare to the traditional dedicated fixtures that manufacturing companies are interested in these units? Some factors for comparison are:
Precision: The traditional fixtures were prepared with rough scaling, even with manual efforts in some cases. So, it was customary to expect high levels of tolerance. But the 3D welding tables are manufactured with high accuracy, including the table, clamp, and fixture system. So, you can be relaxed to continue your production with this unit.
The flexibility of application: The fixtures and clamps were fixed on the working platform in the traditional dedicated fixtures. You could only manufacture a fixed-shaped weldment. But you can adjust the clamping system any way you want in the 3D welding system, resulting in usage on variable weldments.
Manufacturing time: It can take more than days to set up the working table according to the design criteria. But the developing period in modern 3D welding tables is flexible. On average, you only need about an hour.
Quality of the product: All the products you manufacture using the 3D welding table will be of the same category. The quality of the product for two same fixtures may vary.
User’s training: You can quickly learn how to use modern 3D welding within 2-3 hours with user-manual videos. While for the traditional dedicated fixtures, you require to understand each different fixture individually.
Management: The traditional dedicated fixture had a low to no management system for storage, while the 3D welding table offers the modular feature.
Investment: Using the traditional dedicated fixtures will require a small initial investment with ongoing high costs. You can reduce the cost significantly with overall long-term benefits with a higher initial investment on a 3D welding table.
