AUTOMATION
Turnkey Advanced automation technologies and digital tools are elevating the skill levels required for welders. However, there is currently no specific educational path for robotic welding. To address this gap, Comau Academy, in partnership with Seabery, offers a cutting-edge training solution that integrates the Soldamatic welding simulator with the
e.DO Robot, whose programmable
settings meet both professional and educational requirements. Leveraging its years of expertise in
automation and professional training, the Academy has developed a truly innovative training technology: the Programming & Robotic Welding Training Station. This solution combines Augmented Reality with Comau’s educational robot to replicate a real robotic welding environment—
free from risks, waste, and additional material costs. The system includes hundreds of procedures and exercises to comprehensively train industry operators. Completing the training
programmes leads to the acquisition of a certification that is highly valuable in the job market.

MEET THE FAMILY Comau recently launched its new
S-Family of small yet powerful robots. The first two high-speed robots, with payloads of 13 kg and up to 18 kg, are expressly indicated for assembly, arc welding and handling applications where accuracy, repeatability and speed are non-negotiable. Characterised by their exacting performance and historical red robot design, they also reflect Comau’s dedication to making automation more accessible to diverse and non- automotive industries. The compact, robust and versatile robots can easily access small spaces and tight areas that are difficult to reach with other robots. And because they are highly energy
efficient, as certified in accordance with Fraunhofer procedure instruction, the S-Family of 6-axis articulated robots help companies achieve higher production
quality and better performance with reduced energy consumption and costs. S-Family robots are perfect for
applications requiring extreme accuracy and speed while ensuring full protection from elements including water, dust and other contaminants. With their best-in-class protective IP68 hollow- wrist design, the electrical and auxiliary cabling runs inside the wrist which allows the robots to enjoy greater agility while minimising the risk of damage. Furthermore, they are the only
robots to feature fully integrated arc and gigabit dressings, which help remove layout constraints, make assembly and installation easy, ensure faster response times and significantly reduce cable kinking, breakage and subsequent maintenance costs. So, in addition to automating welding,
handling, foundry, automotive, and battery manufacturing processes,
the S-Family can be easily used for food & beverage and general assembly applications. Finally, the robots can be mounted on the floor, wall or ceiling to optimise space without sacrificing performance. “Comau’s new S-Family of small, high-
speed robots combines efficiency and technical excellence with the features and functionality required for effective deployment within new markets and dedicated application areas,” explains Nicole Clement, Chief Business Unit Leader for Advanced Automation Solutions. “Our commitment to making automation easier to install and use, especially within non-automotive markets where automation is growing fast, is yet another way Comau is bringing the power of automation to an increasingly diverse sector of industries and applications.”
