Ultra high‐speed arc welding (4m/min)

Initially, we reviewed the robot welding equipment in terms of its purpose: greatly improved arc welding quality and reliability, and stimulation of the arc welding market. We then discussed the arc welding package, with its advanced ability to perform work tasks. This equipment also results in a noticeable improvement in welding speed (4m/min). This is possible due to a welding power supply specially developed for robots and wire feeding equipment run by the servo drive so tasks that were previously not possible are now. In this article, we introduce the MOTOPAC‐WS100 (standard arc welding package), the MOTOPAC‐WH200 (high‐speed arc welding package), and the MOTOEYE‐LT, MOTOEYE‐LF (unique laser sensor tools), and the MOTOMAN‐ET (teach procedure support tool).
