Olympus Technologies Ltd. has developed a unique Universal Robot Cobot Welding application that can be deployed easily and flexibly in existing manual welding booths, eliminating the need for costly new robotic cells. The application is capable of providing an economical and high-quality robotic welding solution, perfect for simple and repetitive welding processes.
The Olympus welding software UR Cap provides comprehensive control of the power source via the robot teach pendant. All programming is done with touch screen menus and does not require any complicated codes or scripts to be written. The robot can be moved by hand to set start and end weld positions, saving precious time when programming. Once the power source has been selected, the welding parameters, wire inch and gas purge features can all be controlled. The robot can call existing jobs and processes if the power source has these features. Welding parameters can also be changed mid-weld. The process control box provides a switch to allow live simulation of welds on a product. Placed outside the cell when in production, it safely provides visibility of whether the robot is moving and/or welding.
