Our Automation Technology
Included in Saskarc’s lineup of robotic automation equipment is our FastArc, which performs assembly, tack, finish welding, and quality control checks. The FastArc is highly capable and extremely precise. It drastically reduces the amount of time and manual labour required to fabricate the steel, thus resulting in significant labour savings across the board. The FastArc’s advanced technology ensures that the steel is fitted and welded with perfect accuracy. Using laser technology, the robot can scan and identify unique parts, ensuring they all have the correct dimensions and hole placements before fitting and welding them together with two simultaneous robotic welding arms.
Saskarc also has a welding-only robotic cell, the SpeedArc, which is designed to carry out the required welds of overly complex steel that needs to be manually fitted. The SpeedArc works with consistent quality and precision and is able to complete welds more than three times faster than manual operations. It also operates lights-out, meaning it does not require operator involvement, other than to load and unload the cell. Like our other autonomous equipment, the SpeedArc allows us to greatly increase efficiency in our fabrication processes, removing possible delays such as downtime and human error.
Benefits of Automated Fabrication
The FastArc and SpeedArc, supplemented by our other industry-leading automated equipment, help us to achieve:
- Greater Efficiency: Our robots can run lights-out, only requiring operator involvement for loading/unloading. Their ability to operate 24/7 greatly reduces the downtime that comes with manual labour.
- Increased Quality: The FastArc and SpeedArc are programmed with extreme precision. Their work is accurate and consistent, eliminating the delays of human error and the need for rework.
- An Enhanced Skillset: With robotics and automation being one of the most in-demand skills in today’s market, Saskarc’s top-of-the-line equipment keeps us consistently ahead of the game.
- Increased Safety: Utilizing our automated fabrication greatly reduces workers’ need to complete higher-risk tasks, such as welding and handling large, heavy steel components.
- More Controlled Processes: Automation ensures consistency, precision, and repeatability in operations. Automated systems follow programmed instructions exactly, reducing human error and variability. This results in tighter control over production parameters like speed, quality, and accuracy, leading to more reliable and efficient outcomes.
- Reduced Costs & Timelines: With the greater efficiency, increased quality, enhanced skillset, increased safety, and process control that our optimized fabrication brings, we offer the shortest project schedule and the lowest total installed cost.
