Robot Welding Competition Became Mature, Being the Highlight of Competition

The Fourth International Robot Welding Competition was held in Essen Welding & Cutting Fair venue from June 27^th - 29^th, 2017. During this Robot Welding Competition, domestic and foreign competitors competed against each other with excellent skills, attracting numbers of people. Tens of international welding experts, such as, Mr. David Landon, President of American Welding Society (AWS), and Mr. Dmitry Sudakov, Vice-President of Russia Worldskills viewed the Robot Welding Competition on site.

This Robot Welding Competition was divided into two parts to examine the skill level of competitors, that is, Single Welding Robot Competition and Robot Welding All-Round Competition. Single Welding Robot Competition was to assess the competitors’ mastery of key points programming of robot welding by using designated welding robot (FANUC for this competition). Robot Welding All-Round Competition was to assess the mastery degree of competitors for different types of Robot by adopting FANUC and GSK Robot. Competition results shows that the programming abilities and operation skills of competitors have been improved obviously. And competitors from China and Russia performed excellently.

Welding Skills Competition Played an Important Part in the Improvement of Overall Welding Skills

Welding Skills Competition, a traditional competition, could encourage youth professionals to become outstanding skilled talents by learning technologies and practicing skills. Nowadays, the development of internet has attracted numbers of young people, which results in neglect of basic welding industry.

Therefore, this high-level welding competition with large-scale provided a good chance of exchange and mutual learning for competitors, which intrigued the welders’ enthusiasm of welding technology learning and stimulated the motivation of welding skills research, promoting the cultivation of welding professionals and pushing forward the progress of welding skills.
