So far, the answer is No. Automatic welding robot can not completely replace welders, but for batch welding, robot can completely replace 90% of the work, greatly improving productivity. Thanks to this, it promotes the development of peripheral auxiliary equipment, makes the robot more flexible, and accelerates the welding robot into the intelligent era.

工业机器人主要采用示教和复制的工作方式。因此，焊接机器人在前道焊接过程中，对加工精度、工具精度、焊接过程热变形的控制等都有更高的要求。焊缝一致性差，局部焊缝缺焊问题增加了生产成本，企业往往面临以下薄弱环节：

Industrial robots mainly use teaching and copying methods. Therefore, the welding robot has higher requirements for machining accuracy, tool accuracy and thermal deformation control in the welding process. The problems of poor weld consistency and lack of local weld increase the production cost, and enterprises often face the following weak links:

生产线对原有技术加工设备进行升级改造，高精细刀具设计资金密集，成本高。

The production line upgrades the original technology processing equipment, high-precision tool design, capital intensive, high cost.

自动焊接机器人暂时不能完全取代焊工，因为自动化设备往往存在母材一致性差、工具偏转、焊接过程中板材热变形等各种技术条件。焊后需要人工补焊，无形中增加了人工成本，难以保证产品质量。

Automatic welding robot can not completely replace the welder for the time being, because the automatic equipment often has various technical conditions, such as poor consistency of base metal, tool deflection, plate thermal deformation in the welding process and so on. Manual repair welding is needed after welding, which increases the labor cost and makes it difficult to guarantee the product quality.
