June 29, 2026 – The much-anticipated 29th Beijing Essen Welding & Cutting Fair officially opened today, and the Xionggu booth, located in the prime exhibition area, was bustling with visitors from the very start. As a leading domestic enterprise in pipeline automatic welding and intelligent welding equipment, Xionggu unveiled a series of heavy-hitting intelligent robotic welding solutions tailored for shipbuilding applications.

The undisputed highlight of the Xionggu booth was the four smart welding robots purpose built for shipbuilding scenarios. Among them, the A-500 Intelligent Welding Collaborative Robot stole the show as the "star product." Featuring intelligent teaching free operation, full scene scanning, and automatic seam recognition, the A-500 eliminates the need for manual drag teaching and autonomously plans torch trajectories – drawing crowds of professional visitors eager to experience its capabilities.

Alongside the A-500, Xionggu also showcased the A-280i Trackless Intelligent Gas shielded Welding Robot, the A-240 Narrow gap Automatic Welding Robot, the A-391 Trackless Intelligent Welding Robot, as well as comprehensive welding solutions for gathering, long distance transmission, and refining/petrochemical pipeline installation.

"The majority of our clients came with real project requirements and showed strong interest in our intelligent welding solutions for both shipbuilding and pipelines," said the on site booth manager. On the first day alone, the Xionggu booth received professional purchasing delegations from multiple major domestic shipyards, pipeline engineering firms, and overseas clients from several countries, sparking lively technical exchanges and business discussions. A successful first day has set the stage – and the excitement continues through the rest of the show.
