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.

Duration: 2 Days (Wednesday - Thursday)
Location: Virtual Seminar
Cost: $2,500
Prerequisites: Basic Robotic Programming Course or Intermediate Robotic Programming Course, AND Advanced Robotic Programming Course
Description: The FANUC WeldPro™ plug-in to the RoboGuide offline programming tool allows users to simulate a robotic arc welding process in a 3D space. Driven exclusively by a FANUC virtual robot controller, the WeldPRO plug-in is empowered with the most accurate program teaching tools and cycle time information available in any simulation package. A user can learn to easily navigate the WeldPRO plug-in to create complete workcells by importing actual tooling and workpiece CAD files. Anyone familiar with programming a FANUC robot will be able to create new weld paths with proper torch angles and process parameters. All programs and settings from the virtual workcell can be transferred to the real robot to decrease installation time.
