Volvo Automates Welding
Volvo Construction Equipment has automated its welding process using a state-of-the-art robotic system developed in collaboration with CLOOS North America. The new system enables skilled welders to focus on complex tasks while robots handle more routine welding jobs.
Volvo Construction Equipment has implemented a robotic welding system at its Shippensburg, PA, assembly plant. The system, developed with CLOOS North America, automates the welding process for construction equipment. An autonomous mobile robot collects material and loads it into an automated cell, where a welding robot completes the job. The system enables one set of parts to be loaded while another is being welded, increasing efficiency. Volvo has used CLOOS welding technology for over 20 years and now operates 12 CLOOS systems. The new system allows skilled welders to focus on complex tasks, improving productivity and quality.
