Cobot welding

Precision robotic welding for small series and single components

Modern cobot welding cells deliver unbeatable efficiency

In the manufacturing industry, collaborative robots, or cobots, have become indispensable partners in the field of welding technology. These welding robots are revolutionizing automated welding by putting efficiency, precision, and safety front and center.

Our innovative cobot systems are designed to adapt flexibly to your specific requirements in production. Whether you’re working with small, complex components or large, cumbersome structures, we offer the right cobot solution for every application.

The advantages of cobots

Low total cost of ownership

The cobot welding cells from Fronius are cost-efficient and soon pay for themselves, a key advantage for small and mid-sized companies in particular. Check out this blog post about cobot welding in small and medium-sized businesses for further insights into the economic benefits of the cells.

CWC-Extended

We custom-design CWC-Extended cobot welding cells for applications outside the scope of our CWC-mobile, CWC-S, and CWC-D variants. The system solution is based on modular components and is precisely tailored to the customer’s specific component, welding process (MIG/MAG or TIG), and manufacturing requirements.

Depending on the application, it is also possible to integrate elements such as tracks, positioning units, or multiple stations. This enables operators to reliably weld even complex component geometries with consistent, reproducible results, while benefiting from intuitive handling and minimal engineering effort.

Guide and press

Define welding paths easily and conveniently

Guide the welding torch to the start, contour, and end points of the desired weld seams, and press the confirmation button on the control handle. All points are automatically applied to the welding program.

Person defines the welding process for a Fronius cobot welding cell using drag & drop on a tablet.

Drag and drop

Intuitive programming of welding processes

Simply drag icons such as Handle Teach, Basic Arc, or Basic Wave into the desired position in the graphic programming interface. Using this method, you can define the entire welding process without any in-depth programming knowledge.

WeldConnect app

Welding parameters at the touch of a button

WeldConnect makes it quick and easy to find the right welding parameters. The app guides you step by step through entering details such as the welding process, base material, weld seam profile, and shielding gas. The wizard then uses this information to calculate the optimal welding parameters.

Pathfinder

Boost productivity with Fronius Pathfinder

When using cobot welding cells, offline programming offers the advantage of creating and testing programs without having to stop ongoing production. This minimizes downtimes while boosting productivity. Finished programs can simply be transferred to the welding cell and adjusted directly on the cobot if needed.
