Leas – High accuracy robotic welding cell

HIGH ACCURACY ROBOTIC WELDING CELL
Case study
Robotics

CUSTOMER

The company that commissioned us to design the project is a reference technology partner in the field of metalworking: from product idea, design and prototyping, industrialization and organization of the production phase.

INITIAL SITUATION

The customer needs a new, flexible welding station that guarantees maximum precision and reduced setup time in the transition between virtual and real programming, quick tool changes as production varies, especially for small batches.

CUSTOMER NEEDS

Increased productivity
Increased production flexibility
High welding accuracy
Integrated Industry 4.0 system

LEAS SOLUTION

AkuWeld is most widely used by manufacturers in the field of metalworking.

Autocalibration with ABB – BullsEye® and absolute robot – continuous accuracy and repeatability without reprogramming operations

Robostudio offline programming: high productivity, economical and flexible production for smaller scale and reduced programming costs.

“The two-station machine is designed to guarantee the elimination of workstation vibrations and maximum precision and repeatability even in the most delicate welding processes such as TIG, plasma and laser. Dual-station solutions enable parallel loading/unloading and setup, reducing production time.

Cell programming is optimized through virtualization and calibration via the state-of-the-art offline RoboStudio system, which allows the robot to operate without interruptions caused by programming new products. Precision is guaranteed by the robust design machined by the machine tool, by the use of an absolute industrial anthropomorphic robot, i.e. with maximum error reduction in its axes directly from the factory, and by the use of high-speed tooling systems that avoid the need to repair an existing program once it returns to production.”
