Automated and Robotic Welding Gas Considerations

Automated welding systems require consistent gas composition and flow control for repeatable results, typically using higher flow rates than manual welding to compensate for consistent travel speeds. CORGON® 18 provides excellent stability for robotic applications with minimal parameter drift over extended production runs.

Robotic Gas System Setup

  1. Consistent Gas Supply. Use bulk gas systems or large cylinders to prevent composition variations during production runs.
  2. Increased Flow Rates. Set 10-15% higher than manual welding due to consistent robot travel speeds and lack of manipulation.
  3. Gas Monitoring. Install flow monitoring and alarm systems for production quality control.
