Koike’s Cricket-II welding manipulator supports multiple welding processes
- April 25, 2020
- Product Release
- Arc Welding
Koike Aronson Ransome offers the Cricket-II, a welding manipulator for use with subarc welding, GTAW, and GMAW. It offers the stability needed to produce consistent welds and maintain joint alignment, according to the company. The unit is equipped with a lift speed of 20 IPM. A variable-speed, powered-reach option offers adjustable speeds from 3 to 120 IPM.
With a load capacity of 500 lbs., the manipulator can accommodate all welding processes. It also features CAM roller guidance and through-the-boom cable management. With NEMA-12 electrical enclosures, it is designed for safe operation indoors, with built-in protection from foreign debris, dust, and water.
A mast rotation option lets the operator swing the boom out of the work area or work between two stations with one manipulator. Other options include travel cars, cross slides, digital speed controls, and self-standing bases.
