Robot Welder Delivers Precision Welds Every Time
The Cobot welding package wows attendees at farm shows and industrial shows alike. It lets any trained operator produce professional-quality welds. Central McGowan combined a Lincoln Power Wave welder with an automation unit to create the mobile robotic welder.
“This is a product partnership we put together to make a portable, programmable welding system,” says Julie Berling, Central McGowan. “It can easily be moved around the production or shop floor.”
What makes the Cobot shine is the ease of programming. The operator shows it what to do with arm movements and drag and drop programming. Move the arm to the starting point on the weld and punch in the position on the control device. Move it to the end position and punch in that position. Welding speed is 39 in. per second.
“It is such an easy teaching application,” says Berling. “It’s not for repetitive welds. However, it fits a multitude of different welding applications and types of welds.”
The Cobot can be programmed to make a single pass or multiple passes and is easily repositioned. Clamp the piece to be welded to the integrated tabletop and start welding.
“The resulting weld is beautiful, very clean, the perfect weld,” says Berling.
The automation unit can be ordered with the 49-in. standard arm or the 56-in. long arm. Berling suggests interested readers call the company to discuss needs and price.
“Every customer has unique needs, and the arm and welding setup is equally unique,” says Berling. “We don’t have a standard base price.”
