Based Japanese shipyard welding robots from over a decade ago

Yo, that's dope. Look slow, but I understand the value of the robot weld is more in the consistency/quality than the speed.

Yeah looks super slow but the weld quality looks great. This video was from 2010 so the tech is a bit outdated

I love the self locating bases

Pretty clever

lol

Those plates have a lot of oxidation on them, I wonder how their process accounts for that. I was always taught that you can’t have a good weld with dirty substrates.

Could be useful for building hulls

We need more ships 🇺🇸
