Acieta’s FastARC CW Cobot Will Debut at IMTS 2022
New FastARC CW welding cobot increases productivity and improves job satisfaction for skilled welders.
Posted: August 25, 2022
Everyone is struggling to hire and retain good laborers, especially those with welding skills. But when the position is unfilled, a welding system sits idle and doesn’t make a profit. Companies simply cannot afford to wait for the next skilled welder to walk through the door. The labor pool is dwindling and there’s fierce competition to attract those individuals. Let the FastARC CW cobot be the next welder you invest
- Now job shops and manufacturers can increase output by assigning the challenging and complex jobs to skilled welders and using a FastARC CW cobot on all the simpler welding tasks. Acieta will be introducing the FastARC CW cobot with demonstrations at IMTS booth 236270.
Controlling costs
To battle skyrocketing operational costs across the entire industry, Acieta has created a cost-effective solution with a short payback timeframe. “Typical FastARC cobot users see ROI in as little as 6 months (based on 2 shifts), because they are making more product at a much lower cost per part,” says Steve Alexander, Vice President of WI Operations, at Acieta. “The FastARC CW is a pre-engineered standard product that helps us keep costs low and helps user stay more competitive. Plus, it’s in stock and ready for quick delivery. Plus, financing options are available to keep initial capital expenses low.” The FastARC CW includes a FANUC CRX-10iA/L 6-axis robot mounted on a mobile platform to move quickly between production areas. The system is compatible with Fronius, Lincoln Electric and Miller welding units.
Maximizing talent
Intuitive software and a touchscreen interface make the FastARC CW simple to set up and operate so it can be managed by a less skilled worker. One person can operate several FastARC cobots simultaneously for maximum productivity.
