ULTRA COmPACT, SELF CONTAINED RObOT WELDING SYSTEmS

xploring the benefits of using robotic systems across a wider range of manufacturing applications has
accelerated recently where investment in the most up-to-date systems is making a significant contribution to maximising efficiency. Welding applications are a good example and the availability of new, highly flexible, space-saving systems is helping manufacturers to integrate robotics into their welding and fabrication processes. Less space, more output is not surprisingly high on the ‘wish list’ for any forward thinking
manufacturer and the ArcWorld standard systems available from Yaskawa are ideal for replacing, or supplementing manual welding required in metal manufacturing applications. These fully integrated systems offer the distinct advantage of being self-contained, so it is a bit like buying any machine tool, you choose the size of machine you need and a location to install it and away you go. The Yaskawa ArcWorld HS micro and RS
mini systems are easy to install, operate and relocate in a small footprint of either 2.3 sq. metres for the mini, or as little as 1.4 sq. metres for the micro. both systems offer the possibility for operators to double their output with up to half the preparation time, compared to manual welding. The micro system is supplied complete with robot and controller and its hinged door opening provides lots of options even though it’s a very small, compact system. The mini system has a revolving door and table,
which again means maximum flexibility within a compact system. The systems are designed to allow quick changes of jigs, which is crucial in helping to reduce the all-important set-up time and improving production output compared to conventional manual welding practices. Furthermore, improved operational consistency by never missing a weld and ensuring the same quality of weld at the end of the shift as at the start, also means reduced ‘spatter’ which improves the capacity for fettling. both systems incorporate a mOTOmAN-AR900
robot with YRC1000 controller, a start / stop button panel and fume extraction hood. They also feature a platform and casing with dark green polycarbonate glare shield protection and CE-marking. The Yaskawa motoman ArcWorld micro and mini robotic welding systems are pre- engineered, pre-assembled and shipped ready to weld and represent the latest generation of cost-effective automated solutions for welding applications. They can be configured with your choice of welding power source and are ready to mount your component tooling. Find out more on the Yaskawa website:
