WELDING AUTOMATION & COBOTS

Welding shops across the country are facing a tough reality: skilled welders are getting harder to find, and the demand for high-quality work hasn’t let up. At the heart of this workforce struggle is a changing labor landscape, one that automation, specifically welding robots, is beginning to reshape.

 

Before the pandemic, the welding industry was already bracing for a talent shortage. Many experienced welders are retiring, and younger workers aren't entering the trade quickly enough to replace them. The numbers speak for themselves: over the next decade, the U.S. will need approximately 372,000 welding jobs filled, with 30,000 new welders required annually just to keep up with demand. Adding to the challenge, 42% of the current welding workforce is over the age of 45.

 

This skills gap makes it increasingly difficult for job shops and manufacturers to meet production deadlines and quality standards. For many, the answer lies in a new generation of automation: collaborative robots.

Unlike traditional industrial robots, which require complex setup and often operate behind safety fences, cobots are designed to work safely alongside humans. They’re compact, easy to move, and simple to program, qualities that make them ideal for both large facilities and smaller job shops alike.

 

GTW Welding Supplies proudly offers cobot solutions like the Cooper Cobot from Lincoln Electric and Robotic Welding Systems from Fronius, built with the flexibility and intuitive technology today’s shops need. These systems are designed with user-friendly tablet interfaces featuring icon-based programming, enabling even non-welders to quickly get up to speed. By simplifying automation, cobots reduce the barriers to entry for shops that might otherwise shy away due to cost or complexity.
