Coming to AMW2024 with decades of robotic welding experience
Robotic Automation (RA) is looking forward to again being an integral part of Australian Manufacturing Week and will showcase the very latest in robotic manufacturing technology.
While most people think of automation and robotics in manufacturing as a recent arrival, RA has been delivering these solutions for 35 years to manufacturers across ANZ.
One of RA’s specialities is its welding division, which has long seen its MOTOMAN robotic welders utilised in numerous manufacturing applications.
MOTOMAN stands as one of the industrial robotics industry’s largest manufacturers, boasting a remarkable track record of over 540,000 robots installed worldwide since 1977. This translates into maximum reliability, extended operational longevity, minimized downtime, reduced maintenance expenses, increased profitability, and unparalleled peace of mind.
Several MOTOMAN Cobots will be on demonstration including one with an interactive vision system and another heavy-duty welding variant.
Cobots are ideal for small, and mid-sized companies face hurdles in robot implementation due to safety requirements necessitating separate working areas. Yaskawa’s human collaborative MOTOMAN robot (HC Series) offers an affordable, versatile, and user-friendly solution.
The Weld4Me Cobot package is an easy-to-use, Cobot-based MIG or MAG welding station. It offers high performance for small welding shops with small batch sizes and high variant diversity. The Cobot combines the strength and accuracy of the industrial robot with the safety features necessary for human-robot collaboration. The IP67 protection class provides superior capabilities for applications in rough welding environments.
Due to direct teaching and customised welding software, operating and programming the Weld4Me Cobot is easy to learn for welding personnel, even without prior robotics knowledge.
RA also offer self-contained Welding Cells for a flexible, space-saving and cost-effective solution. Easy to install, operate and relocate, each ArcWorld cell is prepared for TIG, MIG or MAG welding, depending on requirements. The positioner variants of different types and sizes ensure high workpiece flexibility and operator safety.
Check out RA’s Offline Programming Software to automatically generate robotic welding programs directly from CAD information. This easy-to-use desktop application makes offline robot programming simple and has powerful tools to ensure you get high-quality welding results with minimal programming effort.
The MotoSim® Simulation Software package similarly provides accurate 3D simulations of robot cells. This powerful simulation software can be used to optimise the whole system, reach modelling, and cycle time calculations. This enables highly accurate off-line programming of complex systems.
A working Laser Vision system will be on demonstration. The system enables the MOTOMAN robot to precisely find and track weld joints at high speeds and in real-time, even while the parts are turning on a coordinated positioner resulting in precise optimised, highly accurate welds.
With so many years of robotic welding experience, Yaskawa provides the largest range of standard and customised workpiece positioners with multiple simultaneously controlled axes, providing high speed and superb precision. This encompasses compatible Tracks and Gantries for all applications, setting RA apart as trusted advisors in system design without compromise.
