Robot and Turnkey Welding Systems

Yaskawa has been supplying robotic-based turnkey welding systems from its own European system construction for over 40 years. In the demo welding cell no less than four robots of the Motoman AR series will be operating on a battery carrier. Equipped with the arc welding sources of various manufacturers, they will be actively dancing, demonstrating the multi-robot-synchro function that ensures synchronization of the robots and positioner.

The robots can be controlled either in sync or independently of one another in groups of two, three or four robots. The positioner, a RWV2, also originates from Yaskawa in-house production and is illustrative of welding systems of all sizes, as the company has now been planning and implementing in Europe for four decades.

In addition, welding robots of the AR and SP series will be demonstrating their strengths in arc, laser and spot welding: the AR series supports every conceivable welding process. The SP series consists of flexible spot welding robots that are also suitable for handling applications. A laser hybrid application at the exhibition stand illustrates the advantages such as welding speeds, seam quality, more stable processes or reduced component distortion.
