Welding with Servo Guns

Ser­vo guns are prob­a­bly one of the best things to hap­pen to robot­ic spot weld­ing in years. These spot weld­ing guns improve the qual­i­ty of welds, pro­duc­tiv­i­ty, weld­ing con­trol and they even save mon­ey on equip­ment. What more could a man­u­fac­tur­er ask for, right?

These ser­vo guns can be syn­chro­nized with the robot, which means short­er cycle times, which leads to high­er pro­duc­tiv­i­ty for the spot weld­ing appli­ca­tion. They are also ser­vo-motor dri­ven, which allows the pro­grammed ser­vo gun to oper­ate at three times the speed of a con­ven­tion­al gun.

Along with an increase in pro­duc­tiv­i­ty, a robot­ic weld­ing ser­vo gun also enhances the weld qual­i­ty for a manufacturer’s prod­uct. Due to the ser­vo motors, these guns have pre­cise pres­sure con­trol, which help to reduce spat­ter and tip wear. This not only improves weld qual­i­ty, but also improves safe­ty stan­dards and decreas­es main­te­nance costs for the gun. The ser­vo gun’s impact is also three times less than a tra­di­tion­al weld­ing gun, which helps to elim­i­nate defor­ma­tions in the work.

The flex­i­bil­i­ty of a ser­vo gun is also increased over that of a tra­di­tion­al air weld­ing gun. The ser­vo gun is ver­sa­tile enough to weld a wide range of pres­sures to account for vary­ing thick­ness­es in the met­als that it is weld­ing. This also helps to detract from weld­ing errors, by mea­sur­ing the thick­ness of each weld­ing work piece pri­or to begin­ning the weld.
