Robot Control information

What is the difference between Robot Control vs Robot Programmer?

AspectRobot ControlRobot Programmer
Required CredentialsTechnical certifications, associate degrees in robotics or automationSimilar certifications, programming courses, and technical training
Work EnvironmentManufacturing plants, automation facilities, industrial settingsDesign labs, manufacturing floors, software development environments
Employer & Industry UsageManufacturers, automation companies, industrial facilitiesRobotics firms, manufacturing companies, automation service providers
Common Search & Comparison IntentUnderstanding operational roles in roboticsFocus on programming and software development for robots

Robot Control involves managing and operating robotic systems on the factory floor, ensuring they perform tasks correctly. Robot Programmers focus on writing and developing the software that enables robots to function. While both roles require technical skills and industry knowledge, Robot Control emphasizes operational oversight, whereas Robot Programmers concentrate on programming and software development.

Is it hard to get a robot control job?

A robot control job typically requires a background in robotics, programming, or engineering, along with skills in control systems and experience with relevant tools like PLCs or ROS. Competition can be moderate, but having specialized knowledge and certifications can improve chances of employment.

Is robotics a high paying field?

Robotics is generally considered a high-paying field, especially for roles such as robot control engineers and automation specialists, with salaries often exceeding average engineering wages. Factors like experience, education, certifications, and industry (e.g., manufacturing, aerospace) influence earning potential, and advanced skills in programming and control systems can lead to higher salaries.

As a robotic welder, you will be responsible for setting-up, operating and performing work in a robotic welding cell using industrial welding robots to fabricate numerous metal parts and components according to customer specifications and pre-programmed machine control instructions.  You might be required on occasion to do spot MIG or TIG welding as well. The Robotic Welding Operator will review drawings and specifications to accurately weld parts and metal components.

Compensation: $19 - $21/hr

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

  • Plan and weld work from drawings or specifications using knowledge of robotic machine capabilities, base metals and weld processes to analyze the parts to be joined most effectively (plan, lay-out , tack, weld and fit-up parts and components according to specifications).
  • Load, set-up and operate robotic welding equipment. Envision completed part in 3D in order to execute planned welds using control software through the use of a teach pendant. Examine welds and unload parts to ensure that they meet standards and specifications to verify product quality.
  • Use hand-welding equipment to weld or join metal components or to fill holes, indentations, or seams of fabricated metal products that are not capable of being welded by the robotic welder.
  • Accurately read and use tape measures and verify product quality by using inspection and measuring equipment (gages, micrometers, rulers, etc.).
  • Perform basic preventative maintenance and repair and set-up to keep robotic welders running smoothly and to reduce downtime.
