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. 

Posted: January 11, 2014

The Swift Arc ML robotic cell is comprised of an Aristo® U5000i power source, KUKA KR6 900 robot and controller, touch screen robot pendant, expandable cell walls, and interlock safety system. Its robust construction features a steel tube frame with acrylic windows and heavy-duty casters for easy mobility.

ESAB Welding & Cutting Products (Florence, SC)  also introduces their Swift Arc™ ML (Mobile Learning) System, a new fully-contained robotic welding system for education and training. Swift Arc ML is part of the Swift Arc series of pre-engineered robotic welding cells offered as complete ready-to-weld units.

The Swift Arc ML robotic education cell is designed to demonstrate, develop and teach proper welding techniques, robot programming and welding skills. Its mobile platform facilitates on-site training and quickly transforms any space into a robotic welding training environment.

The system features an interlock safety system and operator control panel to enable instruction of programming and troubleshooting techniques required in real-life industrial robotic welding applications. An intuitive control pendant facilitates fast adaptation to the robot control..

Other features include harmonized motion between the robot and external axes, open architecture Windows HMI, easy teaching with the PC-based controller, constant wrist orientation function, electronic mastering for quick calibration, and much more.

Designed specifically for training environments, Swift Arc ML features an interlock safety system and operator control panel to enable instruction of programming and troubleshooting techniques required in real-life industrial robotic welding applications. An intuitive control pendant facilitates fast adaptation to the robot control.

The Swift Arc ML system comes equipped with an Aristo RT robotic torch. The torch’s universal contact tips can be interchanged between water-cooled and gas-cooled torches.

This complete work cell is economically configured for education. It is delivered ready for use; simply hook up the input power, gas, and wire to begin welding. www.esabna.com.
