On June 29, the 29th Beijing Essen Welding & Cutting Fair grandly opened at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center (Bao’an). As a globally authoritative and influential annual event in the welding industry, this edition brought together more than 850 benchmark enterprises, with an exhibition area exceeding 39,000 m², showcasing the frontier achievements in welding automation, robotic intelligent manufacturing and new intelligent processes, leading the year’s technical trends in the industry.
On the first day of the fair,3Srobotics Technology Co., Ltd. (HGXD) held its annual new-product launch at booth 61823 in Hall 6, officially releasing the HGXD-S300/600/900 series embodied AI welding robot systems. With an all-new intelligent welding architecture and core teach-free, programming-free capabilities, it redefines the new standard for non-standard workpiece intelligent welding — causing an immediate sensation upon debut and winning high recognition from customers at home and abroad.
Redefining Intelligent Welding: Letting the Robot Become a True “Mechanical Welder”
The newly iterated HGXD-S series upholds the core R&D philosophy of “letting the robot become a mechanical welder that autonomously perceives, decides and executes”, precisely targeting the pain points of welding non-standard, irregularly-shaped workpieces, and completely overturning the industry dilemmas of traditional welding robots that rely heavily on manual teaching, professional programming, tedious debugging and inefficient changeover.
Relying on3D vision fully-autonomous recognition technology + high-order AI welding algorithms, the equipment automatically scans workpieces, precisely extracts weld-seam features, and computes and generates optimal welding trajectories in real time, achievingfull-process unattended intelligent weldingand dramatically reducing enterprise labor costs and technical barriers.
Disruptive Efficiency Upgrade, Data Bearing Witness to Embodied Strength
Targeting the drawbacks of traditional non-standard welding — long commissioning cycles, low capacity and slow changeover — the new S series achieves a leap in efficiency innovation:
First-piece commissioning: compressed from the traditional 6 hours to5–30 minutes
Workpiece changeover: shortened from dozens of hours to3–15 minutes
Programming efficiency improved by over 80%
Overall production capacity increased by 50%–70%
At the precision and stability level, the equipment keepsrepeat positioning accuracy within 1 mmwith stable, uniform weld formation, completely solving the problems of inconsistent manual welding quality and large fluctuations in yield, perfectly adapting to batch production and complex non-standard working conditions.
Full-Scenario Modular Configuration for All Welding Conditions
The new HGXD-S series carries a tiered functional architecture, covering the full-scenario demand from small-part precision welding to large-scale heavy-industry welding:
S300 Basic Intelligent Versionadapts to standard six-axis and seven-axis robot models, focusing on basic non-standard welding scenarios with a lightweight intelligent solution to meet the automated welding needs of small and medium workpieces and conventional structural parts — cost-effective, easy to deploy and easy to learn.
S600 Advanced All-Round Versionis compatible with large gantry, cantilever and floor-rail large-span equipment structures. Building on basic intelligent welding capabilities, it adds core functions ofreverse modeling, real-time collision detection and digital-twin visualization, handling large steel-structure workpieces with complex structures and large dimensions, suitable for mid-to-high-end precision intelligent manufacturing scenarios.
S900 Flagship Mass-Production Versiontargets large factories and large-scale heavy-industry production lines, fully supportingmulti-robot cluster collaborative operation, equipped withmini-program remote management and cloud process storage/reuse, suited to ultra-large components, large-batch and continuous welding production — the first choice for intelligent upgrade in shipbuilding, heavy industry and infrastructure industries.
Ultra-Simple O&M + Ultra-Fast Deployment for Real Cost Reduction and Efficiency Gain
Compared with the cumbersome operation processes of traditional welding equipment, the HGXD-S series achieves extreme simplification:
Teach-free and programming-free— zero-basis employees can operate it
One person can manage 6 devices simultaneously, greatly saving labor
One-key fully automatic welding start
48-hour on-site ultra-fast deployment and production
Supports single, dual and multi-machine collaboration, with free selection of various external axes
No need to build complex production lines, no need to hire senior welders at high salaries, no need for long commissioning and run-in periods — truly helping enterprisesreduce labor, improve efficiency, stabilize quality and expand capacity.
Deployed Across Industries, Strength Verified by the Market
At present, thenew HGXD-S300/600/900 series embodied AI welding systemshave been successively deployed in core industries includingshipbuilding, bridge engineering, light and heavy steel structures, construction machinery and rail transit, adapting to diversified scenarios such as domestic flexible factories, complex overseas construction sites and large-scale heavy-industry production lines, with mature technology, strong adaptability to working conditions and stable deployment results.
From manual welding to intelligent welding, from reliance on experience to algorithm-driven, from inefficient commissioning to ultra-fast changeover.
The newly debutedHGXD-S series embodied AI welding systemsat the 2026 Essen Fair is another technical milestone for HGXD in the intelligent welding track. In the future, Shanghai 3Srobotics will continue to deepen the integrated innovation of embodied intelligence, AI vision algorithms and welding processes, continuously iterate the full range of intelligent welding equipment, and provide global manufacturing enterprises with one-stop intelligent welding solutions that aresmarter, more efficient, more worry-free and lower-cost, helping the welding industry fully enter a new era of unmanned, digitalized and intelligent operations.
