How State-of-the-Art Robotic Joining Technology Can Solve Your Welder Labor Shortage: A Case Study
Hear a case study on "Oil Filter Recyclers" which outlines how the manufacture went from no robotic welding automation to a system that incorporates most of the advanced welding technologies available. This robotic technology has increased weld quality while reducing the demand for qualified welders.

Poka-Yoke & Error-Proofing in Automated Joining with a Focus on Weld Nut Detection
This presentation will compare and contrast different sensing technology solutions used for error proofing applications in automated welding. In automated manufacturing, part quality issues can be a weekly discussion across North America. Using real world examples, experiences and photographs, suggested technologies for each application and situation will be discussed.
