What is a spot welding robot?

The versatile spot welding robot welds metal components made of steel, aluminium and sheet metal material with the best spot weld quality at maximum speed and thus ensures short cycle times. The pre-configured spot weld package for easy welding of any material such as sheet metal, steel or aluminium is quickly ready for use and easy to integrate.

How can a spot welding robot improve productivity?

The welding quality should be significantly superior, contributing to improved productivity in spot welding operations. Spot welding robots are equipped with interfaces for communication with external devices, allowing them to receive control commands from higher-level controllers and management computers.

How much load does a spot welding robot need?

The required load for spot welding robots depends on the type of welding tongs used. For welding tongs used for transformer separation, a load of 30.5kg is sufficient.

How does a spot welding robot teach CAD and welding database systems?

The basic configuration of the offline teaching system for spot welding robots with CAD and welding database systems is shown in Figure 2-24. When the spot welding robot is operational, the main control system confirms the robot’s taught position. It then issues a command to close the welding tongs via the OUTPUT port on the robot’s I/O board.

What technology drives modern spot welding robots?

Expect to learn about the cutting-edge technology driving modern spot welding robots and their impact on industrial efficiency. In terms of welding processes, the most widely used welding robots currently include arc welding, spot welding, and laser welding robots.

What is automated resistance spot welding?

Automated resistance spot welding takes place at a typical speed of 1.5s per spot or faster. Standardized products with short delivery times and proven technology ensure maximum availability. KUKA offers perfectly combined technologies such as welding software, positioners and linear units.
