What is Cobot Laser Automation?
Cobot laser automation refers to the use of collaborative robots to perform laser-based tasks such as welding, cutting and laser cleaning. FANUC’s CRX cobots can be paired with third-party laser sources and processing heads to deliver high-quality results with minimal supervision. With intuitive drag-and-drop programming and safe human interaction, CRX cobots are designed to streamline laser operations in manufacturing environments.
Robotic laser applications can include:
- Laser Welding: FANUC is an industry leader in innovative laser welding robots and its CRX cobots are not limited by the application. A robot's 6 axes of freedom provide unmatched versatility to any laser system with the ability to touch multiple points at nearly any angle with precision, accuracy and rigidity.
- Laser Cleaning: FANUC is the motion system of choice when controlling scanner systems for laser cleaning and ablation. Advanced path output functions provide the scanner with the exact robot speed and position to the laser cleaning head allowing for precise control of the scan path and relative to the robot path. This allows for a more productive cleaning system and undue waste of processing time with excessive path overlap, improving productivity.
- Laser Cutting: FANUC provides advanced motion control that offers improved cutting quality, speed and overall accuracy with it CRX cobots. This approach allows high-speed control using the teach pendant for piercing, pulse cutting and adaptive speed control, offering ease-of-use features to eliminate dross and maximize throughput.
Laser Loading and Unloading: FANUC provides essential robotics technology for automating laser marking processes and machines. From medical device production to automotive and aerospace manufacturing, automated laser marking solutions provide an invaluable service in executing precise, identifiable marks on various materials and parts.
