YASKAWA MOTOMAN AR2010 robotic welding station was built in 2020 in
Japan by Yaskawa Electric Corporation. The system is specially
designed for precision arc welding of workpieces. The machining
process is performed by a YASKAWA 6-axis robot, distinguished by,
among others, its clever design and robust arm with an increased range
of movement. An arm reach of 2010 mm and a payload of 12 kg enable the
welding of large and complex structures, while maintaining a high
dynamic and repetitive process.
Thanks to its compact, slightly curved design, the robot achieves
excellent efficiency even in a small amount of space. This solution
also eliminates the risk of collision with the workpiece or peripheral
equipment. Each of the six axes is driven by powerful servo motors in
order to achieve excellent dynamic movements combined with high
process reliability. All cables, on the other hand, are routed inside
the arm to eliminate the risk of cable damage during the work. MOTOMAN
AR 2010 is also distinguished by its simplicity of programming and its
great freedom of movement, which makes it extremely operator-friendly.
All machining parameters are programmed in the state-of-the-art
controller, which offers intuitive operation and access to advanced
functions. The offer also includes a welding positioner designed to
rotate the workpiece during welding.
The robotic welding cell is fully complete and consists of the
following components:
– robot arm: YASKAWA MOTOMAN AR2010
– controller: MOTOMAN YRC1000
– welding positioner: YASKAWA RWV2-1500
– welding system: SKS LSQ5
– torch cleaning station: THIELMANN BRG-2000 D
– light curtains
– complete workstation enclosure with service door
