What is the programming language used in YASKAWA arc welding robot?

The YASKAWA arc welding robots are programmed using a language called INFORM III. This language is specifically designed for programming YASKAWA robots and is used to create welding paths and control the robot's movements during the welding process.

Robotic Welding is basically just automising the entire Welding Process and is generally used for Resistance Spot Welding and Arc Welding (Metal Inert Gas or MIG / Flux Cored Arc Welding or FCAW).

Robotic Welding is generally recommended when high production is required such as in the Automotive Industry.

The main advantages of Robotic Welding are:

1. Robots operate continuously, thus process welded components much faster than Humans providing increase in the Welding output.
2. A well programmed and maintained robot can perform precisely and maintain the same consistency for 24 hours, 7 days a week.
3. In Welding, there’s always a chance of Electric Shocks, Exposure to toxic fumes and Welders flash Burns and Skin Burns which are harmful to Manual Welders. Robots with proper Fume Extractors and covering from all four sides can help avoid these issues and help increase safety of the entire Welding process.
4. In manual Welding, there is a chance that in some areas a larger weld area is formed which means more consumable has been used than required which doesn’t happen in the case of Robotic Welding. They are programmed to weld the correct length and size of the joint which helps in reducing Consumables.

In Short, Robotic Welding increases production, is safer, more consistent and certainly reducing costs.
