Shipbuilding Welding Robot Solutions

Overview

Shipbuilding involves large, curved assemblies, thick plates and a mix of manual and automated processes. CBOXTEC shipbuilding welding robot solutions help yards and subcontractors improve consistency on flat panels, curved shell plates and pipe assemblies while reducing reliance on scarce certified welders.

Typical Applications

  • Flat panel stiffener welding
  • Curved shell plate seams
  • Block assembly joints
  • Pipe and penetration welding
  • Deck and bulkhead brackets
Application Model Payload Reach Key Advantage
Flat panels / pipe CTC015-HJ1464 15 kg 1464.3 mm IP65, multi-process
Large block sections CTC020-HJ2027 20 kg 2027 mm Long reach, heavy torch
Small brackets / fittings CTC006-HJ1460 6 kg 1460.7 mm Compact, fast setup

Why CBOXTEC

CBOXTEC has designed and manufactured collaborative welding robot arms since 2021 from a 4,000 m² factory in Foshan, China. Our systems are exported to 20+ countries, with application engineering support for marine welding processes and quality standards.

Key Features

IP65-Rated Joints

All six joints are sealed against weld spatter, dust and coolant mist, supporting the harsh environment of shipyard production halls.

Mobile Deployment

Welding carts can be moved between sections, allowing one robot to serve panel lines, block assemblies and pipe shops.

Hand-Guide Programming

Welders teach curved panel and pipe joint paths by physically guiding the torch, reducing dependence on robot programmers.

Multi-Process on One Arm

GMAW, GTAW and spot welding can be supported on the same arm platform, matching the varied processes found in shipbuilding.

Case Studies

Panel Line Subcontractor in Southeast Asia

A shipyard supplier deployed two CTC015-HJ1464 welding carts for flat panel stiffener welding, reducing rework and stabilizing bead geometry across shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

The CTC015-HJ1464 is a popular choice for flat panels, pipe and sub-assembly welding in shipyards. For heavier fixtures and larger block sections, the CTC020-HJ2027 provides longer reach and higher payload.

Yes. CTC-HJ arms have IP65-rated joints and internal cable routing through the hollow wrist, making them suitable for dusty, spatter-heavy shipyard conditions.

Yes. Hand-guide teaching makes it straightforward to program curved panel seams and pipe joints without offline programming software.

CTC-HJ arms operate on 220V single-phase power. The welding cart package includes a compatible power source, wire feeder and gas cylinder bracket, so it can be plugged into standard workshop supply.
