Robotics Change Stations Fully Automated Contact Tip and Torch Body Changeover

Robacta CTC – Contact tip changer

Changing station for contact tips

Automatic contact tip changeover in just 50 seconds.

Changing the contact tip manually is time-consuming and necessitates an interruption to production. The Robacta CTC automates this work step. Changing the tip takes no more than 50 seconds - without production being halted for someone to intervene.

Pre-defined torques also reduce the risk of operating errors by maintenance personnel, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

Advantages of Robacta CTC

Optimization of production costs

Higher productivity due to reduced robot downtime
Defined torques mean operating errors are less likely
Defined contact tip service life: change cycle can be adapted to contact tip wear

Faster contact tip changeover

Contact tip changeover up to 10x faster
No interruption to production
10 contact tips can be changed without human intervention

Rapid payback

Pays for itself within 6-24 months when used in three-shift operation
Reduces demands on the time of maintenance personnel

Robacta TX/i Automatic torch body changeover

Robacta TX/i – Torch exchange

Changing station for torch body

Automatic torch body changeover in just 30 seconds.

The complete torch body is changed automatically without the need for human intervention while production continues. This ensures that all wearing parts that impact on the TCP and weld seam quality are replaced.

When the Robacta TX/i is used, different torch body geometries can be applied alternately - in one robot cell. Depending on the application, a whole welding cell can be saved.

Advantages of Robacta TX/i

Faster than manual changeover

Torch body incl. all wearing parts changed in just 30 seconds, thus up to 13x faster than a manual change
Greater output due to reduced robot downtime
10 torch bodies can be changed without manual intervention

High weld seam quality

Avoid worn out contact tips that would impact on the TCP or cause welding faults
No contamination on wearing parts to negatively affect the gas shield

Optimization of investment costs

Make savings through multiple robot cell use
Different parts can be welded in one robot cell
Complete welding tasks on a part with just one robot
