Smart Functions for Intelligent Robotic Arc Welding

When welding inconsistent production parts, optional sensors will adjust the weld program to maintain weld quality. Options such as Touch Sensing and Through Arc Seam Tracking will add seam finding, seam tracking or joint measurement capabilities. Adaptive capability to adjust the weld parameters can be used to optimise weld size based on sensor feedback.
