Arc TorchMate

FANUC TorchMate provides a utility to automatically touchup the TCP at the tip of the welding wire. The utility works in conjunction with a hardware block that is used a reference point. The robot will touch the block in two known locations and sense contact of the welding wire thru electrical continuity.  This process can be automatically executed during robot operation thru an integrated KAREL function.  ArcTorchMate maintains weld accuracy by automatically compensating tool center point changes caused by torch wear or replacement. This reduces manual retouching and helps preserve weld quality in both single robot and coordinated multi-robot systems.
