Let's face it. Tandem bicycles are not very useful. The Lincoln Electric Tandem MIG High Deposition Welding process, however, has many practical applications. Use it to minimize distortion, increase welding speeds, and throughput.
Previously, tandem welding has described workcells with two or more robots working together. In this case, "tandem" refers to the dual wire, not dual robot set-up.
If your company's new year's resolutions included goals like faster weld cycle times, increased throughput, and upgraded automation you've come to the right place.
RobotWorx sells pre-engineered and customized robotic welding systems, each one designed to help your company reach every last welding workcell objective. Find out some of the ways our robotic welding systems exceed client expectations.
When you reduce the amount of space a robotic welding system takes up, you reduce the amount of energy it uses. Square footage represents dollars because floor space has to be lit, heated, and cooled. In addition, the larger the components are in a cell the more energy they are likely to consume - a larger robot takes more power to manipulate than a lithe one).
Robotic laser welding is a cost-effective and flexible application for achieving high quality weldments. The combined flexibility of the robotic arm and capabilities of laser welding technology produce very sophisticated results.
In fact, laser welding offers so many advantages that some companies have switched their MIG and other welding applications over to laser welding.
The success of robotic welding applications does not rely solely on the robot. Other workcell components have a vital role to play in contributing to and controlling the final welding results. Power sources are a prime example.
Lincoln Electric has created four power sources capable of integrating with robotic systems: Power Wave i400, PowerWave 455M Robotic, PowerWave 455M/STT Robotic, and PowerWave 655 Robotic.
Automated pipe welding offers a host of advantages, from increased production speed and exceptional flexibility, to material savings and dramatically improved end product quality.
Unparalleled Flexibility:
Pipe welding requires finesse and flexibility. Different pipe dimensions, materials, fittings call for different welding applications, torch angles, etc. Automated pipe welding provides a reliable, flexible solution.
Lincoln System 20 Weld Cell is a unique collaborative project between FANUC Robotics and Lincoln Electric. This complete robotic welding system is comprised of cutting edge equipment from both companies. Built with a Lincoln Electric Power Wave i400 power source and AutoDrive 4R100 wire feeder, it features a FANUC ARC Mate 100iC robot.
The cell is built to provide quick cycle times, minimize air cut time, improve weld quality, and conserve space.
FANUC's new ARC Mate 100iC/10S works in settings that make other robots claustrophobic.
Close quarters and high-density workcells are ideal environments for the ARC Mate 100iC/10S short arm version. Its cropped forearm, 1,098mm reach, and streamlined design allow for greater dexterity and less interference with other robots, positioners, and peripherals.
The FANUC ARC Mate 100iC/10S paves the way for more efficient use of interior workcell space.
Searching for a robot solution for thermal applications such as arc welding or spot welding? Check out the wide selection of Motoman thermal robots and robotic workcells available from RobotWorx.
Individual Thermal Robots
Quick, flexible, and accurate, Motoman thermal robots provide excellent performance and cutting-edge technology. The most recent arc welding and spot welding lines fully demonstrate this manufacturer's dedication to thermal robot solutions.
Save time, space, even energy with Motoman's new "Master Spot" robot.
The MS120 is built to fit in tight spots, move quickly, and keep electric bills low. Sporting a shorter arm and higher payload capacity than the other "Master Spot" robot, the MS80, the MS120 is well-suited for dense workcell configurations and tough automotive needs.
Faster Spot Welding
Motoman's "Master Spot" welding robots really pick up the pace.
