Remote Welding Controls Offer Benefits in Fabrication Applications, Too
Beyond the field or jobsite, the benefits of remote control technologies in fabrication settings can be sizeable: more time spent welding and less time moving around; better welds resulting in less rework; and fewer cables to string and manage in the work area.
Virtual Reality Simulator Expands Support for Lap Joint On Mild Steel, Aluminum, Stainless Steel
The fifth VRTEX® Extensions™ software upgrade from Lincoln Electric includes a lap joint weld coupon with support for mild steel, aluminum and stainless steel in the virtual welding simulation environment – increasing the number of available and supported welds on the system from 105 to 141.
Weld Retract Actuator Eliminates Water During Tip Changes
WRA technology from Parker Hannifin retains water in the system when activated allowing for a dry tip change to reduce weld cell down time associated with clean up and protect machines and operators from hazardous weld water.
Welding with Laser Touch Sense
Because of its low cost and ease of use, laser touch sense is quickly growing in popularity to locate weld joints and parts that are moving in location relative from one part to the next.
Yaskawa Motoman Program Partners with Community Organizations
Yaskawa Motoman’s IMPACT Corporate Giving Program reinforces commitment to the community.
How to Evaluate Robotic Welding Integrators for Automation Success
Getting started with a robotic welding automation project may seem like a daunting task at first. But by breaking the project into steps and evaluating a complete solution, you will achieve success by selecting the best robotic welding integrator for your specific operations. Here’s how to do it.
“Slim Line” Solution Provides HyperProductivity in Compact Footprint
Yaskawa’s ArcWorld® IV-6200SL “slim line” solution reduces floorspace with its plethora of features.
Compact Robots Optimized for Spot Welding Applications
The MS165 and MS210 robots from Yaskawa are designed to deliver unmatched performance and reliability in spot welding applications.
Capturing Real Welding Information to Drive Real Improvement
As automation sweeps through the welding industry, the need for weld data beyond just productivity and quality metrics increases. Basic welding information systems provide the operator with real-time information to drive continuous improvement during the actual fabrication of a component. As with any investment in the welding operation, consulting a trusted power source manufacturer or welding distributor is a good first step in determining the most appropriate technology to meet a company’s needs.
Online Configurators Customize Robotic MIG Gun Series for Exact Welding Applications
These online configurators from Tregaskiss can tailor the exact robotic gun needed for the application by specifications such as gun style, neck type, nozzle, wire size, contact tip and power pin.
Robotic Welding System for Education
The mobile Swift Arc ML robotic education cell from ESAB demonstrates, develops and teaches proper welding techniques, robot programming and welding skills.
Integrated Robotic Plasma Cutting Cell
This flexible robotic cutting cell from ESAB automatically cuts, copes and cuts to length branch pipes, I-beam and square tubing and trunk pipes with or without bevel.
