Path Robotics(@PathRobotics):A weld seam spec'd at 3/16" arrives at the station anywhere from ⅛" to ¼". A 45° bevel drifts between 40° and 50° across its length. A skilled welder scans the joint, adjusts, and executes without thinking twice. A traditional welding robot fails. That's why shipbuilding, heavy equipment, and structural steel stayed manual for 60 years, not because they didn't want automation, but because automation couldn't do the job. That's changed. New on the blog: how AI-driven welding is reaching the industries automation left behind. Link in comments. What's the most "un-automatable" part in your shop?
