Cells for robot-based inert gas welding
Details

Yaskawa is expanding the "Arcworld" portfolio with two very compact turnkey, robot-based inert gas welding cells. Motoman robots, positioners, controls and power sources are combined in a space-saving and ready-to-use platform on one platform. The robot cell can be moved quickly and easily if necessary.
In addition, it is very easy to install and operate. The two new features now open up these advantages in the smallest of spaces: The Arcworld RS Mini only requires 2,3 m2 footprint, the Arcworld HS Micro even only 1,4 m2. Thus, the compact cells offer a flexible, space-saving and cost-effective option for getting started in automation or as a supplement to manual welding systems.
A manually operated turntable allows parts to be inserted while the workpieces are being processed in the cell. This reduces downtime and increases part throughput.
Both compact cells are supplied complete with platform and housing, robot, welding package and all necessary accessories. Each welding package contains a welding power source, the necessary cables, the wire feed and a welding torch. A Motoman AR900 is used as the robot. It has a high level of path accuracy and is completely designed in protection class IP67.
