This welding automation solution features two Panasonic industrial robots working in perfect synchronization to perform multi-angle welding on long beam structures.
By deploying dual robots to work simultaneously on both sides of the beam and utilizing a dual-jig (front and back) arrangement, the system ensures continuous operation and exceptionally high productivity. The integrated Panasonic TAWERS system enables high-speed welding and superior bead quality. Since the welding power source, robot, and wire feeder are provided as a single unified package, rapid installation and precise tuning are possible.
Components
- Robot
Robot: Panasonic TM-1400 (Separate Type)
Separate Type Technology: Panasonic’s proprietary design integrates the power and gas cables into the manipulator to minimize environmental interference and ensure highly stable wire feeding.
6-axis articulated robot, payload 6kg, reach 1,437mm, weight 170kg, repeatability ±0.03mm.
Welding Power Source: YD-350VR1
Digital control method, 3-phase 50Hz/60Hz, AC 200–220V, weight 48kg.
Workflow
- STEP 1.
- Loading: The operator secures the beam structure into the welding jig.
- STEP 2.
- Command: The operator initiates the process by clicking the work instruction button.
- STEP 3.
- Primary Welding: Both robots perform synchronized welding on the first workpiece.
- STEP 4.
- Maintenance: The robots execute an automatic wire nozzle cleaning cycle.
- STEP 5.
- Secondary Welding: The robots move to the second workpiece positioned in the rear jig and perform welding.
- STEP 6.
- Concurrent Operation: While the robots are welding, the operator unloads finished parts or loads new raw materials into the inactive jig.
