…company. For instance, a user can trace a new welding path on the workpiece with the TracePen input device in the hand and recorded by the software at the same time. The recorded path can then be edited, tested, and executed via the intuitive 3D user interface of the teaching app, Wandelbots said. The software automatically generates the manufacturer-specific robot code in accordance with current safety standards. To train the robots accordingly, companies need only the Wandelbots software and the TracePen, the company said. They can use them to implement numerous robot applications, such as welding, gluing, and material processing…

…stacking them on pallets, feeding machines with raw materials, welding, and a wide range of other things. Automation leaves people with the opportunity to take on more demanding and meaningful tasks. The welder is still the person who knows their craft the best. As a robot supervisor, they can monitor the machine, ensure the quality is still at a high level, and perform the most complicated welding. However, no longer are they required to carry the torch alone for a full day. This is at least what work looks like in the ideal world. However, robotics as a field is…
