Working ranges from 727 to 3,120 mm

Yaskawa is expanding its welding robot portfolio with six new models in the Motoman AR series. With working ranges from 727 to 3,120 mm, they can process a wide variety of workpieces and assemble a large selection of accessories.

The precise 6-axis robots have been specially developed for the high demands of arc welding. They enable the user to achieve shorter process times. The flexible, fast manipulators save space thanks to their slim design and allow them to be positioned in the tightest of spaces.

The compact Motoman AR700 and AR900 robots offer high welding quality and repeatability. The two robots are suitable for simple welding applications, usually with shorter weld seams, without a great deal of programming effort. The AR900 can also be installed in the ArcWorld portfolio of robotic gas-shielded welding cells.

The medium-sized Motoman AR1440 was developed for the high demands of arc welding in order to achieve optimum results under difficult conditions. With its load capacity of up to 12 kg, space for the hose package with integrated media guide and a maximum working range of 1,440 mm, it enables easy processing of bulky and hard-to-reach workpieces. Thanks to the slightly curved design of the lower arm, welding seams can also be realized on components that are difficult to access. The air line and a media connection are integrated into the base, resulting in a working range of 340 degrees for the 1st main axis.

On the AR1440, AR1730, AR2010 and AR3120 welding robot types, the wire feeder can be mounted on the 3rd axis to allow short distances and the central supply of the welding wire to the welding torch.

With its very high load capacity of up to 25 kg, the Motoman AR1730 offers optimum conditions for double wire or twin applications. In combination with its maximum working range of 1,730 mm, it offers the highest drive performance in its class.

The AR2010 has a working range of 2,010 mm and, with its load capacity of up to 12 kg, is ideal for welding bulky and large components, for example vehicle frames, truck tippers, trailers or containers.

The largest and most powerful model, the Motoman AR3120, covers a working range of 3,120 mm. Thanks to its high load capacity of up to 20 kg, it is also ideal for welding bulky and large components. Its hollow arm design ensures space-saving and wear-resistant guidance of the hose package through the arm to the wrist.
