Industries are Undergoing a Technical Revolution!

Once relegated to large-scale operations, today’s robotic welding machines are more agile and flexible, which makes the benefits of robotic welding – increased productivity, consistent weld quality, flexibility and safety – more manageable and cost-effective for smaller to medium-size operations.


More than 20 percent of commercial welding in the United States is performed by robotics – a trend that is expected to continue to grow as operations look to find alternatives to streamline production. As a result, the demand for trained robotic welding technicians is on the rise – and Lincoln Electric is leading the charge for knowledge and training in this growing field.

Lincoln Electric Automation systems span across various manufacturing processes such as welding, cutting, material handling, collaborative robotics, laser, and more! Whether you are looking for beginner or advanced training, Lincoln Electric will provide you with course offerings and skilled personnel to increase your system operation knowledge.
