I design and build such welding jig and robotic cell. Liked the features mentioned, often these are the selling points for getting our such automation orders. Good one, Fanuc Robots are very very reliable. The Jig concept is Japanese and extensively used in Suzuki 2 wheeler mfg.
Being an experienced TIG welder can offer the same kind of heat input control as the robot. That is the entire point of a pedal. A good TIG welder can use any number of vision and audio inputs to know just how good his/her weld is and just how hot the weld is. While MIG is another story I just want this to be clear for folks seeing this and thinking the robots are the end all be all. For production after hours of programming and testing - sure - wonderful! But for low count production / one offs and prototyping. the human still reigns supreme - well at least on earth anyway ;-)
Im in the process of buying a PRC. Cant wait to race it. Ive been away from racing for a good while. Im sure sitting on one,it will come back to me.

Satisfying
