FANUC Welding Robots and Cobots
Manufacturers who automate their manual welding processes through using robotic welders immediately see advantages including improved cost effectiveness, improved weld consistency, the ability to reach difficult welds, higher repeatability and improved floor space savings. Explore our automated welding solutions below.
Collaborative Welding Robots
FANUC's CR-15iA (15 kg payload) and CR-7iA/L (7 kg) collaborative arc welding robots are - at their core - made of our current industry-leading ARC Mate robot family. By infusing collaborative operation, FANUC now offers our users the ability to work more closely with our cobots. Our arc welding cobots - including the all-new FANUC CRX - come with FANUC’s proven, easy to use ARC Tool Software designed to improve your bottom line by reducing programming time. The easy-to-program interface supports simple applications, but also provides you with the ability to utilize FANUC advanced features such as Weaving, iRVision, Seam Tracking, TAST and Multi-pass.
FANUC ARC Mate Series Arc Welding Robot Models
FANUC is well known for our ARC Mate Series of industrial arc welding robots. This arc welding robot series includes welding robots that range from 7 kg - 25 kg in payload, and 911 mm - 3123 mm in reach. They are suitable for a wide range of industrial arc welding applications such as MIG and TIG welding or plasma and laser cutting. Different models are available to meet a variety of demands and all come with a variety of tools to increase their versatility and help make your arc welding processes safer and more efficient.
Popular FANUC Spot Welding Robots
FANUC spot welding robots provide manufacturers with the highest possible weld quality by repeatedly producing extremely precise welds with the utmost accuracy. FANUC offers a variety of spot welding robots to choose from for any payload and reach, including some of our most popular spot welding series - the FANUC R-2000 and FANUC R-1000 Series robots. The slim design and long reach of our spot welding robots allow for accurate welds, while being flexible enough to maneuver into tight spaces without sacrificing weld accuracy. Our robots can reach weld locations on large parts with their expanded work envelope.
Benefits of FANUC ARC Welding Robots
Accuracy and Repeatability in Welding
FANUC’s robots are the product of years of experience in robotics and welding. They are suitable for a wide range of industrial arc and spot welding applications. Different models are available to meet a variety of demands and all come with a variety of tools to increase their versatility and help make your welding processes safer and more efficient.
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.
