Neuromeka, a leader in collaborative robotics and welding automation, is showing its Ship Block Welding Line Detection Solution at FabTech 2025. This technology revolutionizes mid-sized ship block welding by automatically detecting welding lines in under one second while maintaining ±1mm overall accuracy.
Eliminating Manual Programming
Traditional ship block welding requires extensive manual robot teaching, creating production bottlenecks and demanding highly skilled operators. Neuromeka's solution transforms this through intelligent 3D camera technology that automatically detects welding seams without manual robot teaching. This allows for seamless application to standard cell shapes inside ship blocks, increasing efficiency in high-mix, low-volume production.
Comprehensive Safety and Quality Features
The solution incorporates advanced safety technologies that eliminate the need for safety fences, creating cost-effective and flexible workspaces. Enhanced collision detection ensures safe operation alongside human workers, while touch sensing and arc sensing capabilities for 2F (horizontal fillet) and 3F (vertical fillet) welds deliver superior welding quality. These features significantly reduce defect rates and rework, leading to substantial operational cost savings.
Purpose-Built Opti5 Collaborative Robot
The solution uses the Opti5 collaborative robot, which is purpose-built for welding applications. Its symmetrical arm design minimizes repositioning when switching between left and right welds, maximizing productivity. The reinforced, contamination-resistant exterior ensures reliable performance in demanding industrial environments, while integrated touch sensors provide enhanced positional accuracy.
