Facilitating Efficient Production for Shipbuilding and Bridge Construction

As a national-level "Little Giant" enterprise—recognized for its specialization, refinement, uniqueness, and innovation—Zhouxiang has spent over 30 years deeply engaged in the field of intelligent welding and cutting equipment. Focusing on the critical challenges involved in welding heavy components for ship sections, bridges, and steel structures, the company provides stable and reliable automated welding solutions tailored for the heavy industry sector.

Shipbuilding sub-assemblies, T-bars, bridge box columns, and plate-unit components involve complex working conditions, with intersecting weld seams and confined operating spaces. Traditional manual welding often results in inconsistent weld quality, labor shortages, and high rework costs, all of which have long constrained production efficiency.

Zhoxiang’s intelligent welding robots are equipped with a 3D vision-based weld seam recognition system and are compatible with Bochu’s teaching-free welding technology. They support two operating modes: 3D model import and vision-based scanning for welding without drawings. The system automatically identifies weld seams and intelligently plans welding paths.

For complex welds, including curved seams, vertical welds, and wrap-around corner welds, the robot provides real-time seam tracking and deviation correction. This ensures consistent welding accuracy, uniform and aesthetically pleasing weld formation, and reliable performance, meeting the stringent inspection standards of the shipbuilding and bridge construction industries.

The equipment supports multi-unit collaborative operation, enabling 24-hour continuous production. It effectively minimizes thermal deformation in workpieces, improves welding pass rates, significantly shortens production cycles, and reduces labor costs. Available in both cantilever and gantry configurations—with customizable rail travel lengths—the system offers the flexibility required to process large-scale components in shipyards and steel structure workshops.

Zhouxiang offers more than just standalone welding robots; it delivers comprehensive automated production line solutions, complete with process commissioning, personnel training, and full-lifecycle after-sales support. Leveraging robust intelligent manufacturing capabilities, the company empowers enterprises in the steel structure and shipbuilding sectors to enhance quality and efficiency, enabling them to secure a competitive edge in the new arena of smart manufacturing.
