AS Welding Automation for Small-Format Sheet Metal Parts [800 x 600 mm Working Area]
This automation system has a working area of 800 x 600 mm. The workpiece is positioned using workpiece stops and held in place by pneumatic clamping. On this standard system, the workpiece is loaded by the operator.
The system is equipped with two AS Ak1 welding heads. This allows two different stud types to be welded onto one workpiece without any changeover time.
Stud feeding is fully automated and monitored by the new digital VBZ 5100 stud feeding system. Simply pour the studs straight from the bag into the separating unit, and they are automatically separated and fed to the welding head as required by the process.
As such a complex automation system quickly involves many components that would considerably increase programming effort, we offer a DXF post-processor. It is tailored to each automation project and generates the program for the user fully automatically. Just a few clicks are needed to define the production parameters, and with the stored workpiece drawing, the machine is ready for operation in seconds.
The spray device fitted to this system allows welding with a water and detergent mixture, which significantly improves the visual appearance of the weld.
