“…[6] Due to technological restrictions like quality in precision, process control constraints, etc., geometry welding tasks are required to be performed on the platform stations. [7] Numerous experimental techniques have been proposed, patented or adopted and taken as standards. Cloud point is one of them, it is an easily measurable process, and taken an adequate method, it can be determinated and evaluated.…”

In the automobile manufacturing industry, resistance spot welding (RSW) is widely used, especially to build the car"s body. The RSW is a standard and wide-ranging joining technique in several assembling ventures, showing a wide range of possibilities for a competent procedure. Robots are commonly used for spot welding in various industrial applications. After completing assembling design, interest increases to improve the designed processes, cost-reduction, environmental impact, and increase time productivity when all is said to be done. In this paper, the robot movement between two welding points, a path followed while spotting, gripping and payload-carrying activities, numbers of holds, moves, and a possibility to enhance interaction between four Robots were analyzed using an offline Robot simulation software "DELMIA-V5". The body shop assembly line of the SML ISUZU plant has four robots that perform about 209 welding spots in 532 sec. The optimal model reduced the whole welding cycle time by 68 sec, and after modification and proper sequencing, a12.7% reduction in cycle time was achieved. The offline Robot simulation software "DELMIA-V5" has good potential to produce optimal algorithms while saving precious time. It enables an organization to promote higher quality and to encourage meaningful creativity by reducing design flaws.

“…The working environment is one of the characteristics that must be considered [9,6] when selecting an appropriate robot. In production-related fields, robots are most commonly used for transporting and handling the materials processed [14], production operations, assembly [15] and control. The use of robots in industry must be technically and economically viable for the industry [23].…”

Two opposing tendencies are observable in the field of industrial production in economically developed countries. From the perspective of the management staff, for whom economic effects are paramount, the most important are increased work efficiency and reduced cost of production. Such actions are intended to provide an appropriate competitive position for the company. From the standpoint of the employees, aware of their growing position on the labour market and their value, the most important are suitable working conditions and adequate compensation. These opposing tendencies can be reconciled by the widespread automation and robotisation of the production processes. This requires substantial investment and, considering the growing costs of labour, can provide an increase in efficiency and a reduction in the costs of production. Growth in robotisation and automation are also necessary due to the shrinking labour resources. This paper is intended to analyse the level of robotisation in selected countries, and to investigate the relations between labour costs and the degree of robot utilisation. The final part of the paper characterises the condition of Polish industry from the perspective of robotisation, based on a more in-depth analysis of selected factors. On this basis, the directions are outlined for the necessary changes to achieve further growth and approach the levels observed in European Union countries.
