Robots! Oh my.
October 26th, 2011
Last week at one of my industrial shoots I got to see some robot welders in action. It was pretty cool, to say the least. The robots were positioned behind a 10 ft tall shroud. The shroud is used to protect everyone’s eyes from being flash burned. There was a large turntable device that delivered the raw pieces in a jig form to the robots for welding. Once complete the control panel would rotate the finished welded product to an operator and at the same time new unwelded parts would be presented to the robot. Then the process would repeat.
Pretty amazing technology.
Shooting this was a challenge because I had to climb a 12ft ladder and position my camera on top of the shroud for stability. All the time wearing a welder’s mask so my eyes wouldn’t get burned. But I got some cool photos!
