Kawasaki Robotics GmbH - BA006N-A (Japan)

Description

The BA and RA series, Kawasaki’s arc welding robots, embody the “Simple and Friendly” concept. They can be connected to the welder with a single cable for easy deployment. We offer a wide variety of options (software and hardware) to help improve the quality of arch welding operations.

Conclusion

Kawasaki Robotics has been supplying industrial robots to the manufacturing industry since 1969, and its BA006N as used by Bauromat in this application is a popular choice for users needing a specialised robot designed exclusively for arc-welding installations. The machine is a full 6-axis robot, featuring a reach of 1445mm and capable of carrying a payload of 6kg. Despite its speed, the Kawasaki BA006N is delivered to customers with repeatability to +/- 0.06mm guaranteed over the lifetime of the robot. Kawasaki Robotics offers a comprehensive range of associated equipment for arc welding, allowing both customers and integrators almost unlimited freedom to use their preferred sources whatever the application.

Ian Hensman of Kawasaki Robotics says “This recent installation at Clamason further highlights the excellent working relationship we continue to enjoy with Bauromat. Our shared vision of delivering bespoke systems that provide customers with unrivalled performance remains at the forefront of the many applications we work together on”.

Application specific operation

Each robot is equipped standard with an easy-to-view and operate color LCD touchscreen teach pendant. The operator teaches the process path using dedicated arc welding teaching screens that are designed for simple ed use and easy operation.

Welding condition database

During an automated process, the operator can change the welding conditions on the- y, and then store these changes to a built-in database. The saved conditions can then be recalled from the database and reused.

Reduced downtime

A standard, dedicated start sequence function improves the arc establishment. Also, for weld process faults, the robot includes a restart sequence function to automatically conduct overlap welding and resume the operation.

Manual arc control

The Kawasaki arc welding robots feature a one-button “arc on / arc off” function to allow operators to easily and quickly turn the weld off and on during the automatic weld process. This manual arc control helps operators deal with part anomalies.

Advanced technology

Servo-torch, touch sensing, special weaving pattern, real-time path modication (RTPM) sensor, start-point sensing, multilayer welding function, and auto voltage control (AVC) sensor are some of the advanced arc welding options available with the Kawasaki welding robots.

Offline programming

Kawasaki offers arc welding special offline programming software to automatically generate robot programs from 3D CAD data. Kawasaki’s KCONG software significantly reduces robot teaching time and lowers production costs.
