Abstracts: most of welding is carried out either by manually or a totally robotic operation. In manual type there are some defects and time consuming. Also it has less accuracy and more manpower requires. Totally robotic system is Very costly and difficult. So it can not be possible to use in all MSME companies. Robotic welding requires specialized fixtures to accurately hold the work piece during the welding operation. Despite the large variety of welding fixtures available today the focus has shifted in making the welding arms more versatile, not the fixture. To address this issue we designed and constructed a prototype welding set up with enhanced mobility. The new fixture design reduces cycle time and operator labor while increasing functionality and allows complex welding operations like a circumferential welding or any other type of welding with tremendous accuracy. And the most important factor is that it is cheaper.
