As global manufacturing accelerates toward automation and intelligent production, the welding industry is undergoing a rapid transformation. With the rising demand for electric vehicles, renewable energy, aerospace components, and high-end equipment, the market’s reliance on high-precision, high-efficiency welding technologies continues to grow.
However, major challenges remain. There is a critical shortage of skilled welders — particularly those with advanced expertise. Traditional welding processes often result in inconsistent quality and high rework rates, making them unsuitable for the demands of advanced industries.
Additionally, welding environments carry inherent safety risks, placing occupational health and safety under increasing scrutiny. For companies striving to boost productivity and reduce costs, the absence of real-time monitoring and intelligent process control in welding equipment has become a major barrier to transformation.
In India, industries ranging from steel and automotive to heavy machinery are under heavy pressure due to skilled labor shortages and the need for higher quality control. As a result, the adoption of welding automation and robotic systems is increasing.
At the same time, to meet international clients’ expectations for consistent quality and reliable delivery, more manufacturers are actively seeking intelligent welding solutions to strengthen their position in the global supply chain.
In the pre-sales phase, HIWIN provides free simulation software (HRSim) and welding sample evaluations, deeply listening to and accurately understanding customer needs, assisting in verifying process for implementation. During sales, we actively support process optimization and quality certification to ensure stable welding results with excellent appearance.
After-sales service establishes a complete service network and technical support system to guarantee stable operation and quick response to maintenance requests, eliminating customer worries.
HIWIN robots offer high flexibility and degrees of freedom, supporting MIG, TIG, and Laser Welding, widely applied in steel structures, piping, aerospace, and precision metal processing industries.
Paired with peripherals such as Robot Transfer Unit (RTU), head stock, tail stock, head-head stock, and laser seam sensor tracking system, the solution achieves “welding as finishing” quality, effectively reducing rework and post-processing costs. With an IP65 protection rating, it is built to endure harsh environments while delivering outstanding stability and durability.
Welding, as an additive process, joins workpieces using molten metal without creating excess material — supporting ESG and sustainability goals. HIWIN’s welding AR simulation system, integrated with big data analytics, allows pre-weld parameter verification and serves as a powerful tool for training and education. This enhances accuracy while significantly reducing material usage.
Case Study: Improving Quality and Cutting Post-Processing Costs with Automated TIG Welding
A customer struggled with inconsistent welds using manual TIG welding, resulting in frequent cracks, intensive inspections, and costly rework. By adopting HIWIN’s automated TIG system—along with optimized pre-weld processes and filler-free techniques—they achieved strong, clean welds. This reduced consumable use and post-processing efforts, improving overall quality.
A customer deployed a HIWIN automated MIG welding solution with one robot for loading/unloading and the other for welding. Integrated with a conveyor, the setup ensures smooth production flow. HIWIN’s self-made robotic software connects to the welding machine, enabling welding control of arc on and arc off. The result is greater convenience, higher efficiency, and consistent weld quality.
HIWIN remains committed to being the trusted partner in smart manufacturing, supporting customers worldwide in their transformation journeys. For India—a market rapidly embracing industrial automation—welding automation is no longer just a means to boost productivity; it is a strategic response to the growing need for technological upgrades, quality consistency, and labor challenges.
With our strong foundation in motion control and system integration, HIWIN is ready to work alongside Indian industries to accelerate smart manufacturing, shaping a future of safer, more efficient, and sustainable production.
