Our Business Development manager Shane Ferris was travelling all over the country this past week with some of our key partners. Steven Vaill or Kemmpi and Ian Hardiman joined Shane in Mallow while Kenneth Pederson of SmoothRobotics had the pleasure of travelling from Mallow to Donegal to showcase the SmoothRobots Welding Tool kit. Kenneth specialises in welding automation and was more than happy to demonstrate all things welding to fascinated onlookers. Shane was relegated to photographer duty for a while and provided some great content which you can access across our social channels.

Kenneth was demonstrating the SmoothTool Welding Kit and the benefits it can provide to companies looking to automate their production. This innovative system simplifies robotic welding and allows operators to program robots through intuitive, user friendly methods, allowing SME’s to avail of automated welding processes. Automation in the workplace is huge for a number of reasons including safety and efficiency. Kenneth proved how easy it is for the combination of the SmoothTool and the Universal Robot to perform varied types of welds such as stitch welds or weaving patterns. The robotic arm can be programmed by manually guiding it through the intended weld path, eliminating the need for complicated  coding. This saves a lot of time during set up of industrial robots. It also helps for users whom have little to no robotic experience.

Shanes roadhshow demos took him from one end of the country to the other introduced a lot of people to the concept of cobotic welding and if you were lucky enough to be in attendance please let us know what you thought of it and we hope you learned something new!!

If you would like to know more about welding or any other form of automation please do not hesitate to contact us by our email sales@cobots.ie and we would be happy to help.
