A robotic welding programmer programs, sets up, tests, and maintains robotic welding systems to produce high-quality, efficient welds by creating and optimising weld paths and parameters. Key responsibilities include interpreting blueprints, adjusting robot movements, troubleshooting issues, performing preventative maintenance, and collaborating with production and engineering teams to ensure consistent manufacturing processes and quality controls.
Job Responsibility:
Create and manage weld programs for robotic systems, often using teach pendants to define weld paths and movements
Configure and calibrate robotic welding cells, including fixturing, to prepare for production
Evaluate existing programs and implement changes to improve cycle times, weld quality, and overall manufacturing efficiency
Perform test runs and quality checks on completed welds to ensure they meet required standards and specifications
Conduct routine maintenance and minor repairs on robotic welding equipment to ensure optimal performance
Identify and resolve technical issues and malfunctions in robotic systems to minimize downtime
Keep detailed records of welding cycles and machine performance
Work closely with engineers, welders, and other production staff to refine processes and address manufacturing challenges
