Hard Vs Robotic Welding Automation - What's the Difference
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?

Our team at IRCO Automation has had the opportunity to work with some of the most experienced beam manufacturing companies in the nation and one thing we've noticed is that all of them share similar key pain-points that they're looking to welding automation to help solve:
- needing to maintain a consistent weld profile
- needing consistent welding process parameters
- minimizing beam deflection due to heat
- overcoming beam deflection during welding
