2021-11-22 05:51:29 By : Ms. Cherry Shi

Universal Robots is the first to adopt collaborative arc welding and continues to make collaborative robot-driven manufacturing solutions mainstream. FABTECH 2021 is the launch platform for innovative collaborative robot applications, including heavy-duty water-cooled welding, surface hardening, plasma cutting, and flexible machine loading.

Ann Arbor, Michigan, August 18, 2021--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FABTECH 2017 was a landmark year, and the first Universal Robots (UR)-based welding system was launched at the show Brilliant and formally entered the market. Fast forward to 2021, and UR collaborative robot-driven systems have become the mainstream of FABTECH. Many OEM and UR partners actively sell MIG, TIG and plasma welding and cutting solutions, making it one of the fastest growing markets for UR collaborative robots.

As metal manufacturers begin to rapidly deploy collaborative robot-driven solutions, welding and plasma cutting are now one of the fastest growing markets for Universal Robots. This trend is most obvious at FABTECH 2021, when more than 20 booths will showcase new collaborative robot-driven manufacturing applications.

"Over the past 40 years, robotic arc welding has gradually evolved," said Joe Campbell, senior manager of Universal Robots Application Development and Strategic Marketing. "Collaborative arc welding is the first disruptive technology to impact the robotic arc welding market since the introduction of DC servo-driven robots," he added, citing rapid market traction due to several key drivers, including severe shortage of welders, high Hybrid/low-volume production and the fact that collaborative robot welding machines are easy to deploy can quickly produce higher quality and consistent parts.

Visitors to FABTECH in Chicago from September 13th to 16th will find the flagship blue collaborative robot in more than 20 booths throughout the show and encourage them to start their collaborative robot exploration at Universal Robots’ own FABTECH booth B-17012 .

Operate a smartphone? Programming Cobot Welder

"We showed attendees how easy it is to write Universal Robot programs for manufacturing applications-we will distribute display maps to show our partners showcasing welding, cutting, grinding, bending machine and machine loading solutions and can prove This is the component," Campbell said. He also hosted several innovative solutions at UR’s own booth, including Hirebotics’ new Cobot Welder, a complete, user-friendly collaborative robot welding system that can be painless Automated MIG welding deployment. Using the ingenious and simple Cobot Welder mobile app running on Hirebotics' cloud-based Beacon software platform, FABTECH attendees will experience firsthand how easy it is to teach new parts and welding.

Collaborative robots take on heavy tasks

With Vectis Automation becoming the first UR partner in North America to develop a welding system based on a water-cooled collaborative robot in a new version of its Cobot welding tool, it is now possible to use the collaborative robot to perform heavy welding. The Cobot welding tool displayed on FABTECH is now equipped with MultiPass software functions and ArcPilot™ full arc welding seam tracking. The solution is now not only compatible with Miller welding equipment, but can also be integrated with Lincoln and Fronius welding equipment.

Vectis Automation is also the first to use UR collaborative robots for surface hardening, a metal processing process that applies harder or tougher materials to base metals. At Vectis’ own FABTECH booth B17054, the company will also debut its new UR collaborative robot power plasma cutting, equipped with Vectis’ collaborative robot cutting tools and Hypertherm PowerMax, which can perform complex cutting on 3D shapes and large structures at a cost only A small part of the laser.

Application kit uses collaborative robots to automate CNC milling

The UR booth also showcased new solutions for automated machine management, including the new VersaBuilt CNC milling application suite for manufacturers looking for plug-and-play CNC milling automation methods. Versabuilt's UR application kit comes with all the pre-assembled and designed components to successfully make the CNC milling machine and the UR10e collaborative robot work together to automatically load and unload parts onto the milling machine. The VersaBuilt kit requires no programming experience to use the easy-to-use automation software. The mechanic only needs to enter the part size and CNC milling program number to start and run the application.

Flexible machine loading of unstructured parts, longer payload and longer distance

FABTECH attendees who are looking for flexible and intelligent machine loading solutions will be attracted by Universal Robots' ActiNav™; the new system on display at the UR booth combines intelligent vision and real-time autonomous motion control with Universal Robots' e-series collaborative robots . Prior to ActiNav, solutions for unstructured picking and placing of parts into machines focused only on the visual aspect, and usually required complex programming to bridge the gap from "pick" to "place"-especially if "placement" is more than just Put in a box, but accurately insert the part into the fixture for further processing.

ActiNav changed all of this by combining real-time autonomous motion control, UR collaborative robots, vision and sensor systems in a seamless application suite, solving the trash bin picking challenge in machine management applications. At FABTECH, ActiNav will randomly select messy metal parts and insert them correctly into the machine. The Powering ActiNav is a newly enhanced version of UR's best-selling UR10e collaborative robot. Its payload capacity has been increased by 25%, and it can lift 12.5 kg (27.55 lb), providing customers with exciting new deployment capabilities.
