In future, CLOOS will also be offering seam tracking with arc sensors for the QINEO ArcBoT cobot solution. The welding specialists based in Haiger have successfully developed this technology specifically for cobot applications together with their partner Niederrhein Automation. The new function considerably simplifies programming for cobot operators.
The QINEO ArcBoT from CLOOS offers an easy introduction to automated welding technology. It takes the strain off employees, ensures consistent, reproducible welding quality and combines the high-tech QINEO welding power source with a high-precision cobot from Doosan Robotics.
The unique advantage of the new function lies in the monitoring of the welding process by the proven CLOOS arc sensor. During welding, the sensor precisely checks the torch position in relation to the programmed path. This enables automated adjustment in the event of any deviations to ensure consistent, high-quality welding. As measuring and welding take place simultaneously with the arc sensor, time losses are minimised. At the same time, workpiece deformations - caused by thermal expansion, for example - are directly compensated for. The CLOOS arc sensor therefore combines productivity with optimised quality.
Users can integrate the new function into their cobot quickly and easily with a firmware update and an optional app. By using the new technology, they benefit from increased efficiency and precision in their welding production.
The introduction of seam tracking marks a significant step forward for cobot welding solutions and emphasises the commitment of CLOOS and Niederrhein Automation as a long-standing Doosan cobot integrator to innovation and quality.
