The planned Fabtech demonstrations use touch, vision, scanning, and software to adjust weld paths and settings.
HD Hyundai Robotics plans to demonstrate four automation systems at Fabtech in Las Vegas from Oct. 21 to 23, according to Assembly Magazine. The lineup includes ArcLift GO, ArcPak, ArcAdaptIQ, and a heavy-duty collaborative robot from the HDC Series.
The company says ArcLift GO and ArcLift SLIDE target confined workspaces. Workers can reposition the systems, and multiple robots can operate at once. Software creates weld paths, while touch and arc sensing adjust those paths when parts vary, reducing the manual corrections operators must make.
ArcPak takes a different approach for larger parts and low-volume production. It combines computer-aided design files with three-dimensional structured-light scanning—a method that maps an object’s shape using projected light. HD Hyundai says the system recognizes the actual part geometry, generates welding paths, and compensates for differences.
ArcAdaptIQ focuses on weld quality during the job. HD Hyundai says vision sensors watch the weld pool in real time and adjust voltage, current, and travel speed as workpiece conditions or the production environment change.
The company says the ArcLift systems have been used in daily production at its shipyards, while ArcPak is running in live production environments. It also says a robotic welding system was supplied to a U.S. shipyard earlier in 2026. Assembly Magazine does not provide customer identity, deployment scale, operating results, or commercial terms.
For plant managers, the useful next step is a Fabtech demonstration followed by questions about part mix, safety, integration, operator training, and measured payback—not just whether the robot can complete one weld.
