Yaskawa at the Euroblech
Welding with seven axes in the tightest of spaces
In addition to Motoman robots for spot and arc welding, cutting and handling, Yaskawa also focuses on drive and control technology for metalworking machines.
A current example of Yaskawa's welding robots is the seven-axis Motoman VS100 with a payload of up to 110 kilograms. The model has an additional tilting axis and offers a flexible working area. It can work close to workpieces and other robots, enabling a flexible and space-saving system design, promises Yaskawa.
The additional axis and the resulting additional degree of freedom allow the manipulator axes to be realigned without changing the position of the spot-welding gun. This allows the robot to reach deep into narrower spaces or perform longer linear movements. The interference contour of the entire manipulator can be adjusted by programming.
"Error recovery
Another exhibit, an error recovery system, shows how a defined sequence can be used to ensure component quality if faults occur during the welding process. Synchronous movements with at least two MA2010 welding robots and additional external axes are useful for this. The "Error Recovery" function, a software for DX200 multi-robot cells, is integrated. It is used for the defined detection, handling and reworking of welding errors that can occur during the simultaneous execution of several processes.
Last but not least, another show cell illustrates the CMT marking process. This arc marking process enables interaction with trade fair visitors through the automated production of a small souvenir in business card format. The process is controlled via a 21-inch panel PC from Yaskawa. Visitors can, for example, have their name applied to their souvenir - completely individually and from batch size 1. as
