Tadeusz Kamiński started 3 years ago as a welder in the Polish branch of BSB Industry in Torún. Today, he oversees the robot department with 7 employees. He has experience from similar positions in Finland, Switzerland, and Germany.
- I have been trained as a CNC operator and am currently studying mechatronics to become even better at operating the robots. The challenge lies in programming and implementing new items for the robots when new orders are to be produced, says Tadeusz Kamiński.
Robots do make a difference
The 33-year-old manager sees the investment in robotic technology as a significant opportunity for BSB, and he personally wouldn't want to return to traditional welding methods.
- We've had the robots for 2-3 years now, and we can genuinely feel the difference. They make us better, more competitive, and open the doors to larger projects. The quality becomes consistent, and batch production is much faster, says Tadeusz Kamiński.
Along with his colleagues and the three welding robots, he has embarked on the department's largest and possibly most challenging task to date. The project is called Baltic Eco. It consists of a wind turbine frame, 5 meters in length and width, made exclusively with robotic technology.
- It's a very complicated task indeed where many parts and plates need to fit precisely together. Some of the parts are the size of LEGO bricks, which demands a skilled robot and programmer. However, we can weld the frame in 8 hours’ time when it previously took 45 hours to complete the same job, Tadeusz Kamiński explains.
