With a grand opening in October 2012, hand-over of the world-wide first robot welding system especially designed for internal seams in concrete mixing drums took place at Zoomlion Concrete Yuanjiang Industry Park in Hunan, China. Reis Robotics was involved as developer and manufacturer of the robot system. The new system was presented to the staff of Zoomlion and representatives of the press.
Dr. Eberhard Kroth, Managing Director of the Reis Group Holding, and Dr. Manfred Emonts, Director of Reis Robotics Asia-Pacific, opened the ceremony together with Mr. Cheng Xiao Fei, Vice Director of Zoomlion and General Manager of the concrete department.
The concrete mixing drum is a core part of the concrete mixer and makes high quality and precision demands to its welding seams. In order to fulfill the demands, Reis Robotics developed a special kinematics for this component. This consists of a linear axis with mounted articulated-arm robot and is especially designed for welding the seams in the hollow space inside the drum.
Mr. Cheng Xiao Fei of Zoomlion emphasized the great productivity and quality progress achieved with this system. Additionally, he highlighted the excellent cooperation between the companies, Zoomlion and Reis, involved in the successful launching of this project.
