New to robotics? Here are a few useful places to help you get started.
Founded and operated by OSU welding engineers, RobotWorx' connection to The Ohio State University runs deep.
Owner and OSU alum, Keith Wanner recently led a group of welding engineering students around the RobotWorx facility. Dr. Dave Farson, Associate Professor of Industrial, Welding and Systems Engineering accompanied the students. Farson said he plans to bring his class next spring as well. "It's a little bit farther than we normally go, but it was well worth the drive."
OSU's Industrial, Welding, and Systems Engineering programs are among the most respected in the nation. In 2007, they earned high rankings from the U.S. News and World Report - undergraduate: #16 and graduate: #17. The programs are fully accredited by ABET.

Is your manual arc welding process eating away at your budget? Is it tedious, wasteful...dangerous?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, it is time to consider an arc welding robot. Whether you have a small job shop or a mega-size automotive plant, robotics can make a difference when it comes to repetitious arc welding jobs.
The Arc Welding Robot and Your Finances:
Meet your budgetary goals with an arc welding robot.
Meet your budgetary goals with an arc welding robot.
- Productivity: Robots have the ability to up productivity with faster, uninterrupted cycles.
- No Mistakes: When arc welding is accomplished by hand, mistakes can occur, leading to wasted materials, accidents, and extra costs. A robot offers dependable performance.
- Safety: Automated arc welding means fewer worker-related accidents and less need for insurance.
- Buy Used: Affordable used robots make automation even more attractive.
- Stay Local: Automating your arc welding process could help your company remain competitive.
The Arc Welding Robot and Your Part:
Produce higher quality parts with an arc welding robot.
- Consistent Welds: While the quality of manual arc weldments may vary, robots offer reliable repeatability results.
The Arc Welding Robot and Your Work Environment:
Transform your workplace by introducing an arc welding robot.
- Danger Removed: Manual arc welding creates hazardous fumes, sparks, and heat. With a robot, the worker can keep his or her distance as an operator.
RobotWorx carries arc welding robots from every major manufacturer, including Fanuc, Motoman, Panasonic, and ABB. Considering the possibility of adding an arc welding robot in your facility? Simply contact RobotWorx at 740-383-8383 to speak with one of our welding experts.
More than half of today's industrial robots are spot welders. That's because there are so many advantages to choosing them. Here are the top
five reasons to spot weld with robots:
1) Spot Welding Guns are Heavy
The guns used for spot welding applications are among the largest and heaviest. They often weigh as much as 200lbs. This bulk and weight can be hard for the average worker to handle day in and day out. Robots, on the other hand, work without fatigue.

2) Spot Welding is Dangerous
Not only are spot welding guns difficult to handle, but the work environment created by spot welding is full of hazardous sparks and welding fumes. With robots, workers can oversee the process from a safe distance.

3) Repeatability is Critical for Spot Welding
One of the main advantages of robotic spot welding is consistency. A typical automotive frame may require more than 100 welds. With manual spot welding, workers can create a defective product by under or over-welding a part. This in turn leads to unnecessary cost and waste. Robots are programmed to weld in the same place at the same rate, every single time. This saves money and effort by creating a reliable, high-quality product every time.

4) Spot Welding Requires Speed
Robots are efficient, quick workers. They do not alter their movements or waste energy unnecessarily. It is easy to increase the speed of your spot welding line by adding robots. Multiple robots can be orchestrated to spot weld a product more effectively than multiple human workers can be.

5) Spot Welding is Best When Flexible
Spot welding robots adapt to different parts and situations with ease. Workers need time to train and learn about new parts and processes, but a robot is programmed quickly for each new task. With robots, there isn't a learning process. Robots can accommodate a wide variety of part sizes and shapes.

The Triflex R is an innovative solution for robot cable management.
Without proper consideration, robot cables wear out easily. They also create trip hazards. Managing and safeguarding robot cabling is important. You can save time and money by considering this detail.
The new Triflex R is a multi-axis energy chain system built by Igus. Its ball and sock design allow it to follow even the most awkward path. The Triflex R can twist 380 degrees per yard. Tight corners are easily navigated and the cabling lasts longer because it is fully protected.
Like most kids his age, Andrew Chapman likes to watch videos after school. But that's where the similarity stops.
This Hilliard youth doesn't watch just any old movie. Instead of curling up in front of Disney films or cartoons, Andrew watches RobotWorx robot videos online.
Maybe it is the precision of the robot movements, or the flash of welding applications that appeal to him. Perhaps he likes the roar the machinery makes. Maybe he's already planning to pursue a degree in engineering. Whatever the reason, his mother Janel Chapman jokes that his avid video viewing has no doubt accounted for a lot of visits to the RobotWorx website.
For Andrew, nothing could compare with the chance to see the robots in person. He was able to last week when his family toured RobotWorx with salesman Tim Brady.
"Though a little shy, he really enjoyed it," Janel said. At the end of the tour, Tim gave Andrew a RobotWorx baseball cap. It remained on Andrew's head for an entire weekend.
