This improves usability and simplifies operation for robots without a mode switch by enabling mode switching directly from the Teach Pendant.

The Thick Plate Weld Package combines touch sensing and through-arc seam tracking to improve accuracy on heavy or large weldments. These capabilities help locate joints and maintain alignment despite part variation.

Through Arc Seam Tracking (TAST) automatically adjusts the robot’s vertical and lateral trajectory to compensate for part warping or misplacement. Often used with Touch Sensing to find the start of the weld joint, TAST measures feedback current and adjusts the robot’s path to keep the weld in the joint center. 

A better finish via a better toolpath created by this digital twin manufacturing software FANUC’s Tool Path Optimizer uses CAD data to adjust the toolpath in a machining program to create a higher quality finish and part produced. In traditional CAD/CAM workflows, the CAM converts freeform surfaces to small linear movements, which can cause dents and scratches in curved surfaces as well as inconsistent edges. Tool Path Optimizer automatically fixes these curved surfaces by shrinking the distances between command points to create a high-precision toolpath along the designed shape. Optimizing the command points results in better surface quality and parts.

Torch Guard adds functionality to help control and protect welding torches during operation. It helps improve reliability and reduce torch-related downtime.

Touch Sensing uses a sensor, such as a laser sensor, to provide non-contact compensation for part displacement by changing a weld path automatically, eliminating the need to touch up points manually.

Touch Skip monitors torque and can quickly stop the current robot motion and trigger logic when a threshold is exceeded. This enables real-time responses for applications such as probing, insertion, and contact detection.

VersaBell III is an electrostatic rotary atomizer designed for high-performance robotic paint applications. It supports a wide range of solvent-based automotive topcoats and provides adjustable spray patterns from small to large coverage areas. This flexibility makes it well-suited for achieving consistent finish quality across varying part geometries and coating requirements in automotive paint systems.

FANUC’s Zero Down Time application (ZDT) is a solution to reduce down time and enhance overall robot performance using predictive analytics. It can be used to Improve productivity, optimize maintenance and increase the life of your FANUC robots.

Zero Down Time (ZDT) continuously monitors robot condition and performance data to identify potential issues before they impact production. By analyzing system behavior and trends, it helps maintenance teams take proactive action rather than reacting to failures. This supports improved uptime, reduced unplanned downtime, and more predictable operations in high-volume manufacturing and critical automation environments.
