This particular robot is suited for arc welding applications. It is a compact, 6 axis, serial link, electric servo driven robot. It is also designed to maximize throughput and use of floor space by providing a flexible, high speed design in a proven and reliable mechanical unit. The Arc Mate 50ib is controlled by an R-J3ib controller with Arc Tool application software.

In order to increase flexibility, this robot can be mounted on the floor, on an angle, or inverted and with its small footprint & wrist design enables it to find placement in tight installations. The Arc Mates design allows for extremely small weld cells or a high density of arc welding torches in given area. It comes with the fastest wrist axes in class to provide increased throughput by quickly reorienting the weld torch.

Features & Benefits
• 4 meter robot connection cables
• 399 mm stroke
• All axes mechanical brakes.
• J3 flipover capability & double joint design
• All motor and cables are internally located to protect them from the harsh welding environment
• “Plug and play” simplicity
• Compatible with all major brands of welding equipment
• Interfaces with most types of servo driven or indexing positioners
• In order to provide greater flexibility and fewer moving parts, a serial link construction eliminates the “link arm”
• To improve protection and reliability , sealed bearing and drives are provided
• Enhanced motion control reduces mechanical wear and tear
• Cable routing through center of axis rotation improves reliability
