Case Studies

“with the Cobot, my senior welder get less cough, more&better production and more smile.” Facotry owner - Mr.Guo.

Guo run a welding factory for many years and is Cobotarc’s first batch user. He told us, “I’ve worked in this workshop for twelve years, and the two types of documents I dread most are customer return slips and workers’ medical check-up reports.

Lao Zhang, the most senior welder here, has worked under me for a decade. Last autumn, he came to me with his medical report, hands trembling violently—stage one pneumoconiosis. My eyes stuck on the "recommended reassignment" note as I calculated the costs in my head: transferring him to the warehouse would cut his monthly pay by 3,000 yuan; he’d never agree. But if he kept welding, his condition would only worsen. If he couldn’t work someday, we’d face compensation, recruitment—all sorts of headaches.

"Ever tried that robot?" Technician Liu pointed to the silver-gray device in the corner. "It welds on its own. Lao Zhang just needs to teach it parameters—no more hunching over the torch breathing fumes." I frowned. "Lao Zhang’s stubborn. Would he go for it?"

To my surprise, he agreed. At first, he grumbled as he used the robot to weld galvanized sheets: "How could a machine match a human hand?" But two weeks later, he started proactively activating it. "This thing’s clever," he told me. "Taught it once, and now its 304 stainless steel welding parameters are sharper than mine."

Now Lao Zhang spends his days monitoring screens at the control console, occasionally guiding the robot’s arm to demonstrate. His cough has grown much quieter. At his recent check-up, the doctor said, "The shadows in your lungs have faded."

Flipping through the new medical report, I did the math: Lao Zhang hasn’t left. Also no need to hire a warehouse man. Medical costs saved nearly 10,000 yuan. This Cooperative robot welder? Worth every penny.”
