IRCO Auotmation - What's New

Industry Spotlight: Positioning Equipment for Aerospace

Posted by Melissa Gomez on Feb 21, 2023 3:30:00 PM

In the past 5 years, the number of artificial satellites orbiting the earth has seen exponential growth as a result of the wide adoption of low-orbit telecommunications satellites for consumer internet services and the increased commercial availability of launch provider services. The aerospace industry is now facing a new challenge of scaling up their production rates to meet this new demand while maintaining the highest standards of build quality. With the large, fragile nature of these systems, and special requirements for clean room compliance, a new era of industrialization is upon us. Keep reading to find out how IRCO is leveraging decades of expertise building positioners of all sizes, with unparalleled design and customization flexibility to address these specific hurdles and help our aerospace partners reach their horizons.

Components of an Automated Welding System

Posted by Steve Bogie on Jun 23, 2021 9:00:00 AM

Did you ever watch that show on the Discovery channel or Science Channel called How It's Made? They would take some of the most random items, such as aluminum foil, contact lenses, glasses, pistons, etc., and in a quick episode breakdown how the basics of how it was manufactured. A lot of the products were made with some sort of automated system.....But did you ever wonder while watching, "How on Earth does that system work?" Maybe you'd wondered that same question about automated welding systems...."How on Earth does that work?" In this post, our guest writer, Steve, breaks down the 4 key components of an Automated Welding System. Read further to learn more!

Hard Vs Robotic Welding Automation - What's the Difference

Posted by Matthew Smith on May 18, 2021 9:00:00 AM

Ready to "level up" your knowledge about Welding Automation? When choosing which type of system to go with, clarity to determine the best fit can come from knowing and understanding your goals and ROI. But when you have the choice between Hard or Robotic automation - a lot of questions might come up. Which is better for you? Is one type safer? Is one more expensive?
