APPLETON, Wis. (March 11, 2025) — Miller Electric Mfg. LLC, a leading worldwide manufacturer of Miller® brand arc welding equipment, announces the launch of IntelliPath™, an advanced offline programming software designed to make robotic welding programming faster and easier than ever before. Built to enhance the proven performance of PerformArc™ robotic welding systems, IntelliPath transforms the way weld cells are programmed by greatly reducing setup time and complexity.
With IntelliPath offline programming, operators simply upload a STEP file of their part and the software automatically generates weld paths, weld joint information and a finalized draft program, eliminating the need for tedious manual programming. The software intelligently accounts for collision avoidance and optimizes the robotic path, ensuring efficient and safe operations. Additionally, an intuitive point-and-click interface allows for easy adjustments, making it accessible for welders of all skill levels. This streamlined approach significantly cuts programming time compared to traditional teach pendant methods, which allows shops to get their robots welding faster than ever.
Exclusive benefits of IntelliPath include:
- Rapid deployment: PerformArc cells with IntelliPath install quickly, and operators can start welding the same day they arrive.
- Facilitates high-mix, low-volume applications: The advanced programming enables quicker changeovers in scheduling production, allowing traditional welding automation to accommodate high-mix operating schedules.
- Enhanced safety: Auto-collision avoidance ensures a safer and more accurately taught program.
- Simplified programming: Auto-joint generation reduces programming complexity.
- Faster setup: Auto-joint identification builds robot programs 10 times faster compared to using a pendant.
- Increased collaboration: Cloud-based software increases accessibility and allows for easier teamwork.
- Fast proficiency: Intuitive user interface lets operators learn and become proficient in as little as two hours.
- Non-disruptive programming: Program offline without interrupting production flow.
- Continuous improvement: Automatic system updates ensure users always have the latest software.
IntelliPath for PerformArc robotic welding systems helps operations keep up with production needs while making automation more accessible for a smooth transition from programming to production. Miller continues its commitment to equipping welding operations with the tools needed to work smarter, increase output and stay ahead in today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment.
