Yaskawa Motoman AR-series robots offer high-speed welding

Designed for arc welding applications, the AR-series 6-axis robots from Yaskawa Motoman offer optimized acceleration/deceleration control for all robot axes. The robots are available with 8- to 25-kg payload capacity to support a variety of sensors and torches for welding application flexibility.

Preprogrammed welding processes allow users to select materials and weldment properties to control supply settings automatically. A digital interface on the robot programming pendant allows the user to access and manipulate weld settings remotely.

Seven models are available. Each model offers high allowable moment of inertia ratings that provide substantial wrist rigidity and consistent weld quality, the company states.
