Robot welding Mooring bitts
What problems does this solution mainly solve?
Robotic welding of mooring bollards uses industrial robots and automated welding systems to perform high-intensity, efficient, and multi-type adaptable precision welding operations on port mooring structures (such as mooring columns, guide piles, mooring facilities, etc.).
Specific applications
Application of Robotic Welding in Mooring Bitts
Mooring Bitts are key equipment used in ports and docks to fix ship cables. They withstand huge tensile forces and harsh environments. Their structures are usually made of thick steel plates, castings or welded assemblies, and have extremely high requirements for welding strength, weld consistency and structural reliability.
- Circumferential welding of cylinder and base
- Welding of fillet welds of stiffener plates
- Execution of multi-layer and multi-pass welding processes

Operation process
How to operate?
The following is a standard workflow for robotic laser welding of mooring piles, suitable for automated welding production lines or custom workstations.
1. Workpiece loading and positioning
The worker places the workpiece on the workbench of the positioner, the positioner clamps the workpiece, and the corner cylinder presses it.
2. Automatic welding operation
When the workpiece reaches the weldable specifications, the robot automatically starts, the positioner automatically rotates to the best welding angle for welding.
The positioner flips the workpiece to the other side, and the robot continues to perform automatic welding to complete the full range of welding tasks for the entire workpiece.
3. Welding completion
After the welding operation is completed, the robot stops automatically. The operator unloads the workpiece and loads the next workpiece to be welded.
4. Repeated operation process
The whole process is carried out in a continuous cycle according to the beat, forming a stable and efficient welding production rhythm.
