Upgrading industrial production with automation software
A robotic manipulator can be used in a million different ways here we showcase a way to laser weld an impeller used for pumping water.
Metal welding robot
The case explained
The goal in this case study is to autonomously weld a certain object to increase efficiency and safety. But in reality we could do anything to any type of object because of the versitility of robotic arms. The objects in this case are metal disks used in water pumps at Grundfos.
When working with this case every millimeter has to be taken into account, if an error is made it could mean huge potential losses in production.
The solution should be:
• Highly accurate and repeatable
• Highly flexible and configurable
• Contribute to a safer work environments
• Work significantly more efficient than a human
I'm still confused
The robot arm explained by an expert
What’s a industrial manipulator? Why are they important and where are they used?Hugo is sharing his knowlegde and thoughts about robotic manipulators.

in action
This video demonstrates our result:
A UR5 physically simulating the welding of impellers.
Note: This was only a simulation case and not actually implemented in the Grundfos facilities.
Developed and tested in collaboration with Aalborg university
