The National Shipbuilding Research Program, 1991 Ship Production Symposium Proceedings: Paper No. IIB-3: Portable Arc Welding Robots - A Practical Shipbuilding Tool?

Abstract

An overview of the application of portable welding robots in shipbuilding is given, with particular reference to a pilot project undertaken at a British shipyard. A general basis for cost justification is outlines, and applications and limitations of the robot system discussed. Particular attention is drawn to the requirements imposed on other shipyard systems when using robots.
