Forestry machinery manufacturer Ponsse reduced their welding robot programming from ten days to one — a 10x speedup — by moving from teach pendant programming to offline programming. That number (published by OLP vendor Visual Components in 2025) embodies exactly…

Heavy industrial welding fabrication is facing a looming labor crisis. The American Welding Society estimates that by 2029, U.S. shops will require 320,500 new welding professionals, even as nearly 157,000 senior welders approach retirement. In that context, a 7-axis gantry…

Gantry Robot vs Articulated Robot Welding: Side-by-Side Technical Comparison Quick Specs: Gantry vs Articulated Welding Robots Gantry (Cartesian): 3-axis linear + wrist rotation | Rectangular work envelope up to 20 m+ span Articulated: 6-axis rotary joints | Spherical work envelope,…

Knowing how a gantry welding robot works gives manufacturing engineers a practical edge when judging automation for large-scale production. Unlike articulated arms bolted to a fixed pedestal, a gantry welding robot moves on overhead rails across three linear axes —…
