Expect Top Quality Welds and Faster Speeds with the Arc Mate 100iC Series

Auto­mat­ed weld­ing offers busi­ness­es more free­dom as their work­ers can com­plete mul­ti­ple tasks at once. For instance, it allows for the load­ing of one side of a work cell simul­ta­ne­ous­ly as the oth­er side is weld­ing. This ulti­mate­ly increas­es the speed of the weld­ing appli­ca­tion while also shield­ing work­ers from dan­ger­ous weld­ing fumes and glare.

When decid­ing to auto­mate and choose which robot is best for your arc weld­ing needs, con­sid­er the Arc Mate 100iC series. This is one of the many great robots avail­able in Fanuc’s arc weld­ing robot line and offers a vari­ety of options for man­u­fac­tur­ers that desire an increase in speed for their weld­ing appli­ca­tion. The Arc Mate 100iC robots are exclu­sive­ly designed to cre­ate a one-of-a-kind qual­i­ty weld, reduce the costs for pro­duc­tion, and improve the safe­ty of your workplace.

Increased Speed:

The 100iC offers a large work area, com­plex tool­ing, and the speed. It has the high­est motion per­for­mance for its class, reduc­ing the cycle time by up to 15%. The rigid arm com­bined with advanced ser­vo tech­nol­o­gy enable max­i­mum speed and accel­er­a­tion performance.

Enhanced Wrist:

The wrist load capac­i­ty in this series allows sus­tain­abil­i­ty of var­i­ous torch tools such as sen­sor units, ser­vo torch, and tan­dem torch. The wrist is also slim, allow­ing for entry into small open­ings thus enabling oper­a­tion in nar­row spaces and high den­si­ty installation. 

In addi­tion, the wrist is hol­low allow­ing the gas lines, weld torch cables, air­lines, and wire feed­er motor cable to be pro­tect­ed and locat­ed inside of the robot arm. This pro­vides excel­lent cable man­age­ment, easy main­te­nance, torch cable inte­gra­tion, and sim­pler set up time and results in high­er per­for­mance welding. 

Decrease Floor Space and Increased Savings: 

Not only will the Arc Mate 100iC save time with increased speeds, eas­i­er cable main­te­nance, and reduced set­up time, but it will also save mon­ey since it requires lit­tle floor space. The Arc Mate 100iC sports a slim design that allows for clos­er inte­gra­tion with mul­ti­ple robots since it does not take up much floor space.

Mul­ti­ple Soft­ware Options: 

The Fanuc Arc Mate 100iC is com­pat­i­ble with major brands of weld­ing equip­ment inter­fac­ing it with most types of ser­vo-dri­ven or index­ing posi­tion­ers. In addi­tion, there are intel­li­gent soft­ware options avail­able that add sight, sense, sim­u­la­tion abil­i­ty, and faster pro­gram­ming. These options (iRvi­sion, col­li­sion detec­tion, and coor­di­nat­ed motion) help com­pen­sate for pro­duc­tion gaps and ease the switch of tool­ing or fix­ture changes ulti­mate­ly sav­ing time and mon­ey on adjust­ments, fur­ther test­ing, and accidents.

A Vari­ety of Options with the 100iC Series: 

In order to help pro­duce the per­fect auto­mat­ed weld­ing solu­tion, Fanuc offers sev­er­al ver­sions of the ARC Mate100iC. The fol­low­ing mod­els offer 6 axes and floor, upside down, and angle mount­ing, in addi­tion to the fol­low­ing alternatives: 

• The Arc Mate 100iC has 1,420 mm reach, 10 kg, and a 1,066 mm stroke. 
• The Arc Mate 100iC/​10s is a short arm ver­sion of the robot, designed for greater dex­ter­i­ty and less inter­fer­ence with oth­er robots, posi­tion­ers, and periph­er­als. It has a 10kg pay­load and offers cycle times of +/-0.05mm repeata­bil­i­ty, and a 1098 reach. 
• The Arc Mate100iC/​12s is a heavy duty weld­ing robot as it offers a 12 kg pay­load, +/-0.05mm repeata­bil­i­ty, and a 1098 reach. 
• The Arc Mate 100iC/​6L has a 6kg pay­load, 1632, and a +/-0.1mm, and either a floor, ceil­ing, angle, and wall mount (no upside down mount available).
• The Arc Mate 100iC/​7L is sure to increase accu­ra­cy as it offers 7 kg pay­load, +/-0.08mm, and a 1632 reach. 
• The Arc Mate 100iC/​8L has the longest reach at 2028mm, a 8kg pay­load, and a +/-0.08mm repeatability. 

Con­troller Options: 

The Fanuc ARC Mate 100iC robots have the option of using the RJ3iC and R‑30iA con­trollers, both of which help to enhance this effi­cient robot by allow­ing for flex­i­ble pro­gram­ming for appli­ca­tion spe­cif­ic configurations. 

The R‑30iA reduces cycle time with a reduced accel­er­a­tion and decel­er­a­tion rate for theARC Mate 100iC. The R‑30iA con­troller fea­tures vibra­tion con­trol, 2D vision, and an effi­cient cool­ing sys­tem. The cool­ing sys­tem allows for easy inte­gra­tion since mul­ti­ple con­trollers can be placed side by side with­out overheating. 

The intel­li­gent RJ3iC con­troller adds opti­miza­tion and pre­cise con­trol for up to 40 axes of motion, includ­ing up to 4 robots. It offers increased acceleration/​deceleration times and a decreased vibra­tion through a new vibra­tion con­trol func­tion. Inte­gra­tion is stream­lined through the addi­tion of iRVi­sion with­out addi­tion­al hard­ware and programming.
