Integrating additional FANUC motors creates an automated arc welding system with more capability while maintaining easy setup and programming. Welding positioners can be programmed to move independently or coordinated with the robot motion to optimize welding speed and quality.
Select the weld process that fits your application with the confidence that the ARC Mate robot can handle MIG (GMAW), TIG (GTAW), Plasma (PAW) or Laser welding. FANUC works with you to create low-spatter welding solutions to give a clean finish on your parts.
The M-710iC/12L is the longest reach hollow arm robot available on the market. This reach makes it possible to weld very large parts and eliminates the need for a rail axis in arc welding applications.
FANUC’s arc welding robots have slim wrists well suited for arc welding processes involving hard-to-access spaces. 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., FANUC robots also offer both the strength and reliability to handle all arc welding applications, including submerged arc welding, tandem torches and multiple welding processes on the same robot. Additional payload capability allows other peripheral equipment, such as sensors or grippers, for material handling tasks.
Hollow wrist design routes the welding torch through the robot arm to reduce wear and tear on the expensive welding cables. The through-arm design also protects the cabling and allows offline programming without having to simulate cable placement. Robots combine excellent freedom of movement with extremely high repeatability and offer slim wrists and arms not only capable of accessing narrow spaces, but also strong enough to carry heavy torches and welding utilities.
FANUC’s arc welding robot family supports applications like additive manufacturing. All of the arc welding robots in our ARC Mate Series are up to the task of enabling our customers to add flexibility and efficiency to their additive manufacturing processes. Easy offline program generation, along with the ability to easily import 3rd party paths, enables customers to quickly take solid models from the digital world and make them come to life.
