On June 3rd to 4th, the Guangxi Regional Selection for the Robot Welding event of the 2023 National Second Vocational Skills Competition, jointly organized by the Guangxi Human Resources and Social Security Department and the Welding Sub-Association of the Guangxi Construction Machinery Association, took place at the Guangxi Technological College of Machinery and Electricity. Yuchai participant Liu Yingjia secured the fifth position. The top two contestants in this competition will participate in the Guangxi-level training, and in September, they will represent Guangxi in the national competition held in Tianjin.
This competition is considered the elite tournament of welding technology in Guangxi. Only individuals who hold the title of "Skilled Technician" at the municipal level or higher are qualified to participate. All participants from various organizations have been awarded the honor of "Guangxi Skilled Technician." This competition has the highest technical qualification requirements for participants in the history of welding technology competitions in Guangxi.
The welding robot system used in the competition was provided by a local robot equipment manufacturer in Guangxi, "安博特." Most participants had little prior exposure to this equipment, and they began using it in the competition after getting familiar with the system on June 1st and 2nd. This competition offered the shortest timeframe for participants to understand the equipment and power supply characteristics since the inception of welding technology competitions. To achieve outstanding results, participants need to possess solid manual welding skills, proficiency in utilizing new-brand robots, robot welding technology, robot programming through teaching, and robot welding processes.
Robot welding technology is an advanced manufacturing technique that integrates traditional welding methods with automation and intelligent technologies. This technology has extensive applications in industries including aerospace, petrochemicals, rail transportation, automotive manufacturing, shipbuilding, and construction machinery manufacturing. Employing robot welding leads to substantial enhancements in production efficiency and welding quality compared to manual methods, while also significantly reducing welding costs. Additionally, it plays a vital role in improving the welding production environment and reducing the labor intensity of welding workers. As a result, it stands as a top choice among various enterprises for welding manufacturing techniques.
