Oqton, a provider of software for robotic welding, additive production, and 3D scanning, has partnered with Valk Welding, a manufacturer of flexible arc welding robots. Oqton’s software will become part of Valk Welding’s Automatic Robotic Programming system for high-mix, low-volume production.
Powered by the software, the programming system autonomously generates robotic welding programs directly from 3D CAD files. It uses artificial intelligence to learn from an operator’s best practices to refine processes for future parts. As a result, welders can easily use this software without previous knowledge of robots or 3D geometry. Welding Arm
The new techniques and processes the companies will jointly develop are intended to enhance the utilization of automated robotic welding for unique or small-batch production that was previously only economically viable using manual methods.
The WELDER, formerly known as Practical Welding Today, is a showcase of the real people who make the products we use and work with every day. This magazine has served the welding community in North America well for more than 20 years.
