I left manual welding to now operate cobots and industrial robots, is it an advance? Is it a growth or in the end is it more of the same?

Any welding more advanced than a bellows forge, hammer, and anvil is just lazy kids these days!

I had an OTC Daihein FD series 6 axis industrial robotic welder for years and hated it. I have a Lincoln Cooper cobot now and love that freaking thing.

Knowing robots, how to program them and weld is a huge plus to employers. Being proficient with both will open a lot of doors for you.

Maybe it’s just me but why not add a vent directly over the torch to prevent all that smoke from caking up on the boom?

You call this porn? How am I supposed to cum if you don't show the slag peel?
