THE RAPID DEVELOPMENTS IN COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY HAVE ENABLED AUTOMATION OF ARC WELDING TO AN UNPRECEDENTED STAGE. INDUSTRIAL ROBOTS ARE WIDELY USED TO THAT EFFECT. THE SAVINGS IN COST AND THE IMPROVEMENT IN WELD QUALITY, BY SIMULTANEOUSLY MAINTAINING THIS HIGH QUALITY CONSISTENTLY, ENSURE COMPETITIVENESS FOR THE FUTURE. REMOTE DIAGNOSIS AND PROCESS SUPERVISION ENABLES A HIGH DEGREE OF UPTIME OF A SOPHISTICATED TOOL, EVEN IN PLANTS WITH LIMITED SELF-HELP CAPABILITY. PROSPECTIVE USERS FACE THE DIFFICULTY OF DETERMINING WHAT IS THE RIGHT CHOICE OF PRODUCT FOR THEIR WELDING PRODUCTION. THIS PAPER PROVIDES AN INSIGHT IN WHAT IS AVAILABLE AND WHAT SOLUTIONS CAN BE FOUND.
