This article is about the FANUC robot manufacturing company, they help manufacture robots to many different industries such as aerospace, agriculture , alternative energy etc . Within all of these industry I was more interested in investigating the robots that are made for the aerospace industry , while gathering information about the robots within the aerospace industry, I found that FANUC has many robot applications for the aerospace industry such as the arc welding, assembly, dispensing and sealing , machine trending , material removal , etc. When I further researched into the arc welding sector, I came across a very unique robot for welding . The ARC mate 100 ic welding robot is an unique robot designed for efficient and precise welding . In addition , when researched about the specs of this robot I cam across some unique features.
Unique Features
1. Even better than a human hand
Robots combine excellent freedom of movement with extremely high repeatability. Slim wrists and arms are not only capable of accessing narrow spaces, but are also strong enough to carry heavy torches and welding utilities.
2. The benefits of a hollow wrist
Hollow wrist design routes services through the robot arm to reduce wear and tear on the expensive welding cables. Through-arm cabling also allows cable interference to be simulated offline.
3. A narrow space specialist
Slim wrist robots are well suited for arc welding processes involving hard-to-access spaces. They are used extensively in TIER 1 manufacturing for car axle, bracket, seat and exhaust welding, as well as to produce goods such as beams and cranes and base business goods such as tanks, tubes and pipes, etc.
4. Just plug and weld
FANUC robots can seamlessly integrate with almost all weld packages, allowing quick torch, wire feeder and dress pack installations as well as plug-and-play detection of welding power sources thanks to in-built libraries. Users can simply select and weld.
5. Arc welding with vision
Integrated vision allows robots to recognize and locate objects, weld seams and part features, as well as performing post-weld checks or inspections. This easy-to-use plug-and-play technology helps improve productivity whatever the welding application.
6. Automatic TCP alignment
Our smart arc welding system can automatically adjust Tool Center Point (TCP) during torch maintenance to maximize system up time and increase productivity by maintaining consistent weld seams.
