CLOOS Combines Automation, Robotics and Welding

Easy entry into automation

Partial automation solutions such as cobots are now also established in the field of welding and offer an easy start into automation. At the exhibition, CLOOS will present the QINEO ArcBoT, where employee, cobot and welding power source optimally complement each other – a solution approach for companies to compensate for the increasing shortage of skilled workers. With the QINEO ArcBoT Welding System, users can weld even small batch sizes economically and with consistently high quality. In addition to the relief of the employees – especially with monotonous, repetitive tasks – companies benefit from excellent welding results due to the reproducible quality. The new extended functions such as seam tracking increase the efficiency of cobot welding even further. The QINEO ArcBoT at SCHWEISSTEC is equipped with a torch-integrated welding fume extraction system that provides safe and effective extraction of welding fumes directly at the source.

CLOOS will also be presenting the new QIROX robot QRC-350-EO at the SCHWEISSTEC trade fair. Thanks to its eccentric axis 7, which is specially designed for overhead applications, the robot can be optimally integrated into complex system concepts. The space requirement of the robot system is reduced to a minimum. The QIROX system includes the robot technology, positioners, safety technology, software, sensors and the interface to the process technology. The CLOOS portfolio comprises simple, compact standard systems as well as complex, chained systems with automated workpiece identification and loading and unloading processes. The modular design provides users with scalable solutions that are optimally adapted to different applications and individual production requirements - whether small, delicate workpieces or large, complex components.

Digitisation Solutions for Future Production

The CLOOS software solutions increase the performance of welding power sources and robot systems in addition. With the C-Gate IoT platform, users can access information from their welding production in real time. The central data acquisition and processing allows users to monitor and control their production processes down to the smallest detail. C-Gate consists of several modules which users can activate depending on their individual digitalisation strategy – consistently from the manual welding power source to the fully automated production line.
