Robotic Arc Welding with FANUC ARC Mate 100iD Robot

In the past few months, we have covered plenty of cool robotic welders here. The FANUC ARC Mate 100iD arc welding robot is also worth a look. It can weld automotive components. Here is how it works:

While the FANUC ARC Mate 100iD robot first performs a simulation of its MIG welding process, a FANUC LR Mate 200iD robot, equipped with a servo robot sensor, loads coupons to the fixture for welding. Next, the ARC Mate 100iD robot will perform real-time seam tracking before MIG welding the coupons, which are held in a fixture within an automotive suspension cradle.

Once the job is done, the LR Mate 200iD is used to perform inspection. This solution is ready for high-speed welding. You can find out more here.
