Together with our technology partners Yaskawa, Abagy, BIS Braun, and Air Liquide, we hosted a fully booked innovation day dedicated to robotics, sensor technology, and automated welding. The strong attendance and high level of interest in the technologies presented made the event a great success. Automation Day combined expert presentations, live demonstrations, and valuable networking opportunities in a highly practical environment. Expert presentations with valuable insights The focus of the event was on innovative solutions for increasing productivity, quality, and workplace safety in modern manufacturing. Our partners presented the latest developments and practical applications in welding automation: Abagy: Adaptive robotic welding solutions for high product variability beyond traditional serial production Yaskawa: Efficient planning and implementation of automation projects, from virtual simulation to real-world application BIS Braun: The journey to the perfect weld, from the initial concept to the finished robotic welding system Air Liquide: New approaches to reducing welding fumes in MAG welding voestalpine Böhler Welding: The advantages of flux-cored wires in automated welding applications Special attention was given to flexible robotic welding, AI-supported programming, and modern welding processes designed to sustainably improve productivity. In addition to the presentations, practical demonstrations took center stage at the Application Technology Center. Participants had the opportunity to experience modern automation solutions firsthand and engage directly with industry experts. One of the highlights was multi-layer welding of thick plates using metal powder flux-cored wire , demonstrating how the combination of advanced robotics, high-performance welding processes, and premium consumables can significantly enhance both productivity and weld quality. Another key attraction was the presentation of the URANOS NX welding power source in combination with the CO-BRO® GUARD , showcasing how straightforward and flexible automated welding can be today. Its intuitive operation and intelligent process control enable even users with limited automation experience to quickly enter the world of robotic welding. A further highlight of the event was a guided tour through the production facilities of voestalpine Böhler Welding in Hamm. Participants gained valuable insights into modern manufacturing processes and experienced production operations up close.
