Diometal PRO is advancing its automation efforts with the installation of a collaborative robot designed for welding applications. This initiative features the LORCH Cobot Welding Package, which integrates the expertise of Universal Robots, a leader in collaborative robotics, with advanced welding technology from the German manufacturer Lorch.
The centerpiece of this system is the UR10 collaborative robot, engineered to operate alongside human welders. Unlike traditional industrial robots, the UR10 is equipped with user-friendly controls and a Free-drive function, allowing for rapid programming of new tasks. Key specifications of the UR10 include:
- Action Radius: 1,300 mm, enabling effective reach for larger components.
- Load Capacity: 10 kg, providing stability for the welding torch and associated equipment.
- High Precision: Repeatability of +/- 0.1 mm, ensuring consistent weld quality across production runs.
To fully leverage the robot's mechanical precision, it is paired with the Lorch S5 RoboMIG SpeedPulse XT power source. This device incorporates Full Process technology and offers:
- Welding Range: 25–400 A.
- High Load Capacity: 100% at 320 A, allowing for continuous operation without overheating.
- Intelligent Feeder: A 4x4 system featuring four independently driven rollers and a wire retract function for clean arc initiation and termination.
The installation process encompasses more than just acquiring new machinery; it includes expert commissioning, comprehensive employee training, and ongoing technical support. This investment is expected to enhance weld quality, improve production repeatability, and reduce delivery times for customers.
Diometal PRO is committed to combining skilled craftsmanship with advanced technology to achieve superior manufacturing outcomes.
