Welding robot ROI: how much does preparation cost you?

A robot pays for itself through the time it frees up. In small batches, that time is not the arc, it is preparation. Enter your figures: the calculation runs in your browser, and nothing is sent unless you ask for it.

Your figures

The last two values are common assumptions: replace them with your own figures if you know them.

of programming per part number: the program is generated from the STEP file. What remains is loading bins and inspection.

This calculation promises no savings: it puts a figure on what is at stake. The real gain will depend on your parts, and we would rather measure it with you on your files than display it in advance.

We send you the details, with a first reading of your situation by an engineer.

If you attach two or three typical STEP files, we also estimate the cell's cycle time on your parts.

Files cannot be attached automatically: add them to the email that opens.
