Panel Slit Welding Automation
In shipyards, welding is primarily performed on massive structures such as large panels and blocks, often weighing several tons. Due to the size, weight, and complex geometry of these components, achieving precise positional control and ensuring torch accessibility have been highly challenging, traditionally relying heavily on the skill and experience of human welders.
Panel Slit Welding Automation
This solution allows the robot to be easily transported and installed at the desired work location by connecting it to an overhead crane or hoist. Once positioned, advanced sensing technology automatically detects the weld line, and touch sensing performs precise position correction to ensure high-quality welding accuracy.

Key Advantages of HD Hyundai Robotics
-
Touch Sensing
The touch sensing function is a technology that detects the actual position of the weld joint through electrical signals and corrects errors in real time. This ensures a stable weld line even in assembly errors of large structures such as panels or hull blocks, maintaining consistent weld quality without additional manual correction.
-
Crane Transport
The robot is designed in a modular structure, making on-site transportation and installation using a crane easy. This allows convenient process relocation or position changes even in wide and complex shipyard environments, greatly enhancing installation flexibility and work efficiency.
Robot Welding Solution
The shipyard panel slit welding automation solution precisely compensates for deformation and position errors of large components that are difficult to control manually.
Through sensing and control technologies, it secures consistent weld quality and significantly reduces dependence on manpower.
It also provides uniform results in repetitive operations, improving both productivity and quality reliability.
Stable welding is ensured even under harsh working conditions such as heat, vibration, and narrow spaces.
01
The robot modules are designed for easy movement and installation via crane, enabling rapid deployment even on large blocks or at various positions within the hull. This minimizes installation effort during line changes or process transitions, maximizing process flexibility.
02
Using precise touch sensing technology, the robot automatically detects fine gaps between components and adjusts the welding position accordingly. This ensures uniform weld seams even on structures with design errors or assembly deviations.
03
Equipped with drive wheels on the robot base, automatic movement between work zones is possible, maintaining work efficiency without the need for separate rails. The 360-degree rotation function allows the robot to freely access welding areas on the opposite side, enabling the entire welding process of large structures to be completed by a single system.
