New FANUC Arc Welding Robot with Extra Long Arm Welds A Boiler Tube

Boiler tube arc welding: http://robot.fanucamerica.com/Products/Robots/arc-welding-robots.aspx Adding on to the industry’s most extensive line of industrial robots for arc welding, FANUC America is proud to introduce the new FANUC ARC Mate 100iC/8L long arm arc welding robot. In this demonstration of the robot’s capabilities, the new FANUC ARC Mate 100iC/8L uses a FANUC iRVision camera to locate the orientation of a tube boiler. After locating the weld points, the robot moves into position to simulate welding the boiler. This tube boiler is held in place and moved by a two-axis positioner. The robot and the positioner work in coordinated motion as the robot simulates the weld. The FANUC ARC Mate 100iC/8L is designed to help manufacturers boost production time while lowering energy costs. It offers a 2,028 mm reach, 8 kg payload, and an enhanced motor and servo system to shorten cycle times, which improves productivity. Compared to its previous model, this new robot offers a 30% reduction in power consumption and is 40% lighter. The ARC Mate 100iC/8L’s long reach and slim arm allow it to easily weld large parts, even in small workspaces. In addition, the robot’s excellent motion range with the industry’s best reach and stroke ratio ease part placement and accessibility. After welding is completed, the robot performs a series of coordinated movements, and the cycle repeats.
