Cobot offers 35% more reach and capacity for automated welding

ESAB extended-reach cobot

ESAB offers a second cobot option for MIG and pulsed MIG welding applications on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys. The new 5- by 10-ft. table with UR20 robot arm provides 35% more reach and a 67% higher payload to accommodate larger parts, the company reports.

The new system uses the same software app that runs on a standard smart phone or tablet and Smart Puck to hand-guide the torch and record its position with the push of a button.

Welding components include the Aristo 500ix pulse power source, the RobustFeed U82 wire feeder, an air- or water-cooled torch, and accessories.
