Information activities
Amid the current wave of manufacturing and intelligent transformation in China, MYD—a leading enterprise in Central China and a key metal manufacturing and processing hub—is accelerating its transition from “manufacturing” to “intelligent manufacturing.” Recently, Kebei Laser officially entered into a partnership with MYD, and its laser-arc hybrid welding robots have been successfully deployed in the company’s intelligent welding workshop.

Industry Transformation
This client has long specialized in the manufacturing of large structural components and metal structures, with products widely used in building curtain walls and steel structure engineering. As order volumes continue to rise, the shortcomings of traditional manual welding methods have become increasingly apparent:
Labor Challenges: The training period for skilled welders is lengthy, labor costs are high, and difficulties in recruiting and retaining staff have become a major constraint on production capacity.
Efficiency Bottlenecks: Welding thick plates requires multiple layers and processes, relying on manual rework. This results in excessively long processing times per unit, significantly increasing delivery pressures.
Quality Variability: Welding quality is highly dependent on the operator’s condition, making it difficult to ensure weld consistency, and leading to persistently high rework rates.

Technical Advantages
Significant Efficiency Gains: For medium-to-thick plates up to 20 mm, laser-arc hybrid welding enables single-pass, single-layer penetration and double-sided forming, eliminating the need for multi-layer, multi-pass build-up welding. Welding efficiency is more than five times higher than traditional processes, resulting in a substantial increase in single-shift production capacity.
Labor Savings: Simple and easy to operate, the system allows one-click access to parameters from the process expert database, enabling automatic weld seam positioning and tracking. Operators need only handle loading/unloading and monitoring, significantly reducing reliance on skilled welders.
Consistent Quality: The resulting weld seams are uniform and dense with minimal spatter, and their mechanical properties far exceed industry standards, effectively ensuring product reliability and service life.
Empowering Smart Manufacturing
The successful deployment of Kobay Laser’s arc-hybrid welding robots at a leading enterprise in Central China once again demonstrates the maturity and reliability of kebei technology in the heavy industry manufacturing sector.
Moving forward, Kobay Laser will continue to innovate, providing more advanced robotic welding equipment and more comprehensive technical services to help Chinese manufacturing customers reduce costs, improve efficiency, and enhance quality, as we jointly strive to reach new heights in smart manufacturing.
