Live Spool Welding Robot Demonstrations
ABICOR BINZEL announces a demo week for their collaborative Spool Welding Robot: April 1-5 in Houston, TX.
How to Troubleshoot Five Common Robotic Welding Issues
The problem may be as simple as a loose contact tip or something more complex, like incorrect TCP. Understanding the steps for proper troubleshooting helps narrow down potential causes, prevents replacement of components that don’t need replacing, and quickly gets you back to producing quality parts.
Lincoln Electric Promotes Senior Managers
Dan McMillin is now their vice president and corporate controller, and Bob Nelson is vice president of finance for their Americas Welding segment.
Easy Robotic Automation for a Stronger Workforce and Better ROI
Smart manufacturing tools are helping shops of all sizes deal with labor shortages and production inefficiencies. When implemented and managed correctly, these tools can aid human workers, create a more productive workforce and increase overall competitiveness.
Xiris Appoints Sales Manager for Southeast Asia
David Garrard will focus on developing the APAC market for XVC camera equipment in the welding industry.
How Robotics Can Offset Trade Cost Hikes
To offset the rising cost of metals and avoid hurting their bottom lines, many shops are turning to robotics for repetitive-based processes to help optimize their workforce productivity through precision and consistency.
Robotic Air-Cooled MIG Guns
TOUGH GUN TA3 Robotic Air-Cooled MIG Guns from Tregaskiss now include configurations for additional through-arm style FANUC, KUKA and Yaskawa Motoman robots.
Robotic Inspection of Weld Defects
Easily interfaced to any robot system or welding machine, the i-FACT intelligent robotic inspection system from Servo-Robot automatically digitizes joint and bead surfaces to provide geometric data and detect weld defects.
Intelligent Multi-Arm Robot Welding Systems
Multi-Arm welding systems from FANUC connect arc welding robots and a material handling robot to a seam tracking sensor that tracks and inspects different welds with coordinated motion between the welding and material handling robots.
Robots in Laser Seam Stepper Automated Work Cells
Laser Seam Stepping automated work cells from Coldwater Machine can replace resistance spot welding operations and are well suited to automotive body-in-white applications and anywhere there is a need for low heat input and good surface finish.
Robot Dressed for Spot Welding
The fully integrated Spot Welding Function Package on the IRB 6700 robot from ABB Robotics features an electric servo gun with parallel arm movements managed by an IRC5 robot controller to guarantee process quality in a wide range of spot weld applications.
3D Simulation and Offline Programming for Laser Welding Systems
FASTSUITE Edition 2 software from CENIT creates virtual cells for TRUMPF, Amada and other automated laser welding systems for faster creation of fixtures for prototypes, shorter cycle times for production parts and less overall programming time.
