  MIG/MAG welding robots

  ,

  pick-and-place robots

  , and

  robotic grippers

  .
• Troubleshoot errors in robotic arms (brands such as

  ABB, Yaskawa, Fanuc, KUKA, Panasonic, etc.

  ) and associated automation equipment.
• Ensure timely resolution of mechanical, electrical, and programmatic faults in robotic systems.
  

Preventive & Predictive Maintenance:

• Develop and implement preventive maintenance schedules for all robotic equipment.
  
• Monitor health parameters of robots (cycle time, wear components, joint wear, grease levels, etc.).
  
• Maintain records of maintenance activities and downtime analysis (MTTR/MTBF).
  

Programming & Calibration:

• Modify or develop basic robot programs for process enhancement or path correction.
  
• Teach points and perform robot calibration to ensure welding accuracy and consistency.
  
• Back up and restore robot programs and controller configurations.
  

Process Optimization:

• Work closely with production, quality, and engineering teams to improve welding quality and cycle time.
  
• Identify and implement continuous improvement initiatives (Kaizen/TPM/Lean).
  
• Optimize usage of robotic systems to reduce cost and increase productivity.
  

Vendor Coordination & Inventory:

• Coordinate with robot OEMs, service providers, and spare part suppliers.
  
• Manage critical spares inventory related to robotic systems.
  

Team Management:

• Guide and train a team of technicians/engineers in robotic maintenance and troubleshooting.
  
• Ensure safety protocols are followed while handling automated machinery.
  

Key Skills & Competencies:
