On September 9th, 2015, ABB Robotics will be hosting an open house from 8:30am to 4:00pm at its new Houston facility. The event will feature robotic demonstrations and technical seminars targeted to benefit both those considering an initial foray into robotic automation, as well as those looking to upgrade or expand their existing robotic lines.
The 21,000ft2 facility, located at 7210 Empire Central Drive, was opened earlier this year to provide more proximate robotic automation application support and product training classes to customers in Houston and the surrounding areas.
Industrial robots are becoming more frequently adopted by oil and gas equipment companies, including manufacturers of tubular components, downhole equipment, valve technology and blowout preventers.
One of the many robotic demos that will be held during the open house includes Robotic TIP-TIG Welding. This process is unique to ABB and the new, patent pending technology integrates user-friendly robotics with the TIP-TIG process, enhancing with robotic automation the higher travel speed, lower heat input, and better quality welding advantages the TIP-TIG process provides.
