Ablasserdam-based welding robot supplier Valk Welding offers a collection of software tools to almost fully automate the offline programming process of industrial welding robots. ARP combines the programming ease of a cobot with the durability, accuracy, and repeatability of Panasonic robots. ‘‘This means that everyone can now program a real welding robot, even without previous experience’’, says James De Villiers, robot programming specialist at Valk Welding.
