Fanuc Robotics’ new ARC Mate 0iA robot is extremely lightweight and compact, specifically designed for arc welding applications. The new robot is ideal for a variety of applications, including smaller parts that are typically welded manually.
ARC Mate 0iA Features and Benefits
• Ideal solution for cost-effective welding of small parts
• Provides the same reliability and repeatability as all Fanuc ARC Mate series robots
• Lightweight and compact robot designed to fit in tight spaces
• High-speed operation minimizes robot cycle times
• All welding setup is done through the teach pendant
• ArcLink XT, the industry’s first Ethernet-based welding network
• Lincoln Electric’s R350 integrated welding power source
• Handles various advanced welding waveforms such as thin metal spatterless welding or highly controlled pulse welding for optimized welds
• Multiple mounting positions including floor, angle, and wall. The J3-axis flips over itself for invert mounting
• High-precision coordinated motion with the welding positioner
ARC Mate 100iC intelligent welding robot
Fanuc Robotics’ 6-axis, ARC Mate 100iC intelligent welding robot features a compact design, class-leading operation efficiency, speed, load capacity, and enhanced performance for welding parts of all shapes and sizes.
Compared to traditional dress packages, which are mounted externally on the robot’s arm, the ARC Mate 100iC’s internal routing allows the dress package to follow the motion range of the robot, simplifying programming and eliminating the worries of bending, snagging or breaking cables.
The ARC Mate 100iC and new R-30iB Controller can be integrated in a welding system that includes the weld torch cable, wire feeder, and welding power supply.
ARC Mate 100iC Features and Benefits
• Cantilevered forearm is inherently rigid, simplifying cable management and maintenance
• Integrated wire feed control cable, with shielding gas hose and welding power cables
• ServoTorch, integrated pull torch with touch retract-start
• Integrated weld ground, pneumatic gripper controls and vacuum cup grippers
• All mounting position with no working envelope limitations
• ArcLink XT, the industry’s first Ethernet-based welding network
• Lincoln Electric R350 integrated welding power source
• Handles various advanced welding waveforms such as thin metal spatterless welding or highly controlled pulse welding for optimized welds
• Multiple mounting positions include floor, invert, and angle
• High motion range including “best in class” reach versus stroke
