We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Robotic Welding",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Welders are made for robotic applications from
Kemppi (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Kemppi has strengthened its position as a welding automation equipment manufacturer through the launch of its new KempArc Synergic 300, 400 and 500 product range".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Mini Marathon is knockout deal on welding wire from
ESAB: "Esab Marathon Pacs with 250 or 475kg of wire considerably enhance productivity and quality for large-volume users of stainless steel MIG welding wire".
In October 2006, we covered the news from Metris
concerning its LK Ascent and Camio
- take a look at CMM answers automotive industry trends
which says: "West Bromwich Tool and Engineering has installed a Metris LK Ascent co-ordinate measuring machine and Camio software capable of providing car-line inspection data".
Take a look also at the news release from Motoman Robotics (UK), Window manufacturer expands robotic welding,
as well as Fastening equipment adds European distribution from Orbitform,
and Welding wires promise higher productivity from ESAB.
