Oh it's "faster" but constantly fucks up and needs to retry the same job over and over, so it averages out to being slower than me just manually putting parts into a welding press. Also, constantly down and needs maintenance to come troubleshoot because it's angry that a fixture got stuck sideways in an aperture or whatever.

I suspect they're not actually properly maintained, because the company decided it would be better if there weren't manuals for the robots. They don't want us wasting time reading!

I'm sorry but your company got scammed

Or they don't know how to properly set up and maintain said robot.

Or they're feeding it out of spec material... could be many things, but if robots really were so problematic, they wouldn't be as popular as they are.

I've worked in multiple factories, this is just how robots are out here in the Midwest. Maybe you costal elites have nice robots that work, but here in the heartland they're all shit lol

Hey thanks for considering me elite, though idk if being 100km from the sea counts as coastal... around my parts I'm as far as you can be from the sea, tbh

I took the "coastal elites" thing as tongue in cheek. Her username is "queermunist" so she's probably not a right-winger lol.

Yeah I know, what's funny is that I'm from another continent
