Dauphin teach-free welding robots have been deployed at multiple manufacturing sites, covering steel structure, shipbuilding, engineering machinery, and new energy industries.
No programming, one-click start, welding as simple as printing. Recently, Dauphin teach-free welding robots have been deployed at multiple manufacturing sites, covering steel structures, shipbuilding, construction machinery, new energy and other industries. Below are field notes from selected typical cases; more details will follow in upcoming feature reports.
Pain point: Many stiffeners with varied specifications; traditional teaching is time-consuming and changeover is frequent.
Solution highlight: 3D-vision teach-free system that automatically identifies seam location and size, and adaptively generates the welding trajectory.
Result: Changeover only requires importing the corresponding drawing — no manual teaching. The machine works 24 hours a day, raising productivity by 30%.
Pain point: Large workpieces and long seams; manual welding lacks consistency and rework rates are high.
Solution highlight: Cantilever-type teach-free welding station with real-time compensation for assembly deviations.
Result: First-pass yield rises to 98%, single-shift output up 27%; workers shift from "welder" to "equipment inspector".
Pain point: Wear-resistant overlay beads have complex shapes; manual surfacing is inefficient and consumables are wasted.
Solution highlight: Teach-free for the main seams plus semi-automatic H-grade for flat butt seams; automatic planning and process matching.
Result: 15% savings in welding consumables, 50% gain in surfacing efficiency, with uniform and clean bead surfaces.
Pain point: Curved seams are hard to track accurately and traditional teaching cannot respond fast enough.
Solution highlight: Custom line laser plus teach-free system, automatically matching different specifications and adjusting welding parameters in real time.
Result: Changeover time compressed from 6 hours to 5 minutes; deformation kept within 0.5 mm.
Every deployment is another validation of the value of "teach-free". Dauphin will continue delivering easier-to-use and more reliable technology to help manufacturers move toward flexible welding lines.
