Collaborative Robots Traditional Robots

  • 10-15Kg Max Payload
  • Slow Air Move Speeds
  • Accurate +/- 0.5mm
  • Simple to Program and Implement
  • Reduced Working Envelope
  • Easy to Move and Setup
  • Robot is Safe to Operate
  • Very High Payload Capacity
  • Fast Air Move Speeds
  • Accurate +/- 0.1mm
  • High level of Programming and

Knowledge is Helpful

  • Coordinated External Axes Expand

Working Envelope

  • Typically a Permanent Installation
  • Robot Operation Requires Protection

Is it Collaborative ??

If you put a welding torch on a collaborative robot, is it still considered collaborative? No, the entire system will need a risk assessment and proper actions must be taken to reduce risk. Is a safety fence required for a collaborative welding robot? Maybe, depending on the acceptable amount of risk What are ways to lower risk levels other than safety fences?

  • Speed reduction
  • Operator training
  • Arc flash protection
  • Proper PPE
  • Identifying and reducing pinch points

In Summary

A Collaborative Welding Robot May be a Good Fit if

  • Large percentage of process cycle time is welding
  • Operators that have a welding background
  • High mix of parts
  • Space limitations
  • Simple welding applications not requiring

coordinated motion

  • Small parts

A Traditional Welding Robot May be a Good Fit if

  • Fastest cycle time possible
  • Application requires advanced programming
  • Good fixturing is in place with cookie cutter parts
  • Work flow and floor space allows for a safety

enclosure

  • Complex welding applications
  • Large parts
