100 women to receive welding training this year




With an aim to train 100 females in the field of welding, a social welfare foundation has opened a course in which its trainees get the right to take an international proficiency exam after completing 90 hours of training.

Gedik Education Foundation has started to provide training in welding, a male-dominant sector, to women.

While the number of female welders in the automotive and industrial sector in the country is extremely low, many female trainees graduated from welder courses.

After receiving 90 hours of training, of which 15 hours is theory and 75 hours is practical, women take the internationally recognized proficiency exam and become ready to work as a welder.

“My father, Halil Kaya Gedik, was a welding engineer and received this education in Germany. After returning to Türkiye, he worked hard to develop the welding industry in our country,” stated Hülya Gedik, the chairman of Gedik Holding.

Stating that her father made a lot of efforts not only for his own business, but also to raise the sector, she also underlined that they published the welding manual for the first time in the country.

“The schools he opened trained hundreds of welders and welding engineers,” she added.

She noted that last year, as a social responsibility project, they started to provide free welding training for women for the first time in the country in order to increase the number of women in this profession.

“In the first year, 20 female welders were trained. Our goal this year is to reach 100 women and to employ them in the sector,” Gedik expressed.

“We aim to provide education to women who are in a particularly difficult situation and who do not have a profession. Those who came to the course are our pioneering and brave women. I want many more women to work in this sector,” she added.

Collaborative robotic welding systems gain traction on the job shop floor

Collaborative robot welding packages are a viable solution for small and medium-sized job shops. They are easy to implement and operate without prior robotic experience and require a lower overall investment. Lincoln Electric The demand for robotic welding systems on small to medium-sized shop floors grows steadily, reflecting the urgency of job shops to make their operations more efficient and competitive in the face of the notoriously tight market for manual welders. This is a relatively new phenomenon. Up until recently, the uptake of robotic welding had been more prevalent in heavy industries. The prevailing perceptions that robots are costly, inflexible, and difficult to program have deterred small-scale companies from investing in the technology. Another principal area of concern has been safety. Like any other piece of machinery, an industrial robot typically operates in an environment safeguarded by barriers, screens, and other protective measures to shield human workers from t...

Lasers in the Plastic Industry

-
 Christopher Ogden, founder of Laser Partners UK Limited, based in Sheffield, explores the plastic industry’s hesitancy to introduce laser technology and why it could be something to consider. Key Highlights: The adoption of industrial laser technology has surged since the 1970s, offering multiple applications in the plastics industry including marking, welding, cutting, de-gating, cleaning, and surface texturing. Laser marking allows for fast and precise marking on plastic surfaces, while laser cutting and de-gating offer clean edges without mechanical wear. Laser cleaning presents a promising avenue for industrial cleaning, offering fast and consistent results without damaging the underlying material. Growth in Industrial Laser Uptake The uptake of industrial laser processing since its inception into the mainstream industry in the 1970s has been nothing short of phenomenal, with $5.7BN worth of lasers sold in 2018 and a prediction that this will increase to $14.5BN by 2026. So, w...

Robots in Automotive Manufacturing: Welding

-
Image
The automotive industry has been at the forefront of adopting robotic technology, with welding being one of the most prominent applications. Today, most welding operations in automotive manufacturing are performed by robots, which offer speed, precision, efficiency, and consistency. How Have Welding Robots Improved Automotive Manufacturing? Over the past three decades, automotive welding robots have revolutionized the industry, making assembly lines faster, safer, and more cost-effective. Their integration into manufacturing, which began with General Motors' UNIMATE in 1967, gained momentum in the 1980s, setting a trend followed by other automotive companies. Automotive robots have significantly improved safety by replacing humans in hazardous welding tasks and withstanding challenging conditions. In addition, they contribute to cost savings by boosting production capacity without requiring breaks or benefits. Image Credit: Factory_Easy/Shutterstock.com In response to industry dem...
