Abstract :Unmanned manufacturing occupies a significant place in today\\\'s world. The success and applicability of manufacturing in unmanned areas have been proven. Various tools have been enriched in terms of hardware and adapted for manufacturing tasks. The rapid development of technology offers the chance to use more hardware for these hardware-enriched tools. The most intense studies in these hardware are conducted on robotic arms. This article has been prepared on the design of a robotic arm capable of MIG welding for various applications in the manufacturing sector, especially in the automotive and defense industries. A MIG welding robotic arm design that can be mounted under or over the system in very different manufacturing areas, considering the designs, has been made. The characteristics of unmanned systems used in the design have been taken into account. The kinematic model was created by calculating the general transformation, matrix, all joints, and assemblies. The robotic arm, designed in Solidworks and material selection made, was analyzed for deformation, motion, and deviation under certain loads using Solidworks and Ansys programs. The analyses conducted on the first and second joints showed that the robotic arm can perform the desired welding tasks under the loads it is subjected to.
