WELDING ROBOT INVESTMENT PAYS OFF

摘要

The Youngman Group is achieving flexible production and improved productivity, thanks to a £2.5 million investment in automation, including two fully-automated Cold Metal Transfer (CMT) welding cells featuring ABB IRB 1600 robots. These are mounted on a servo driven track to increase the working area of the cell and enabling one robot to reach long workpieces. With the positioning of the welding torch critical to the joint required, the track motion system ensures the accuracy of the process while maintaining the required production rate.
