Motoman's ArcWorld 6016HD with SK16 Robot and MRC Controllers

Article From legacy.roboticsonline.com

Brief Summary:

A case study was conducted by Motoman to develop a system that would increase manyfacturing capacity, reduce dependency on manual welders, and achieve and increase cycle times. Motoman's solution was a robotic system composed of two identical ArcWorld 6016 HD solutions with their SK16 robot and MRC controller.

Motoman provided two identical ArcWorld 6016HD solutions.
Motoman SK16 robot with MRC controller
Motoman 200-V High-Speed Touch Sensing
Motoman XTC Torch cleaner with anti-splatter on 1,829 mm (72") stand
Motoman Toolsight (torch alignment program)
The customer provided simple mechanical fixtures that were integrated into the robot system at Motoman.
Coordinated motion is used between the SK16 robot and the external axis, since the headstock/tailstock repositions the part while the robot is welding.
