Cobots for Arc Welding

Cobots are the perfect solution for manufacturers looking to automate their arc welding process. With their ease of use and small footprint, welding cobots can boost productivity and profitability for more operations. The ARC Mate cobots can perform MIG (GMAW), TIG (GTAW), plasma (PAW) or laser welding and offer the same high level of performance and reliability that the FANUC ARC Mate robots are known for.

FANUC’s cobots can be used in a number of arc welding process automation applications. By working with FANUC and our Authorized System Integration partners, manufacturers will find that cobot welding increases competitiveness, throughput, and profitability.

Why Use FANUC Cobots for Welding?

Our advanced collaborative welding robot technology, coupled with the knowledge and expertise that stands behind every welding cobot, makes FANUC CRX the perfect choice for automating welding projects.

Easy to Use

Even for those with no prior robotic experience, users can quickly start cobot welding with FANUC. CRX welding cobots support FANUC’s advanced features, including iRVision®, Torch Angle Control, Touch Sensing and Thru Arc Seam Tracking (TAST).

Simpler to Integrate

Our collaborative welding robots effortlessly integrate with almost all weld packages, allowing quick torch, wire feeder and dress pack installations. Plus, with an easy-to-use welding power source interface.

Perfect for High-Mix, Low-Volume

FANUC welding cobots are ideal for high-mix, low-volume production. Because our cobots are easy to teach, they can be used in welding applications requiring quick part changeover adaptation while yielding high-quality welds.

Quick Redeployment

With easy setup and simple programming interfaces, users can set up new FANUC cobots straight out of the box and create programs on the fly, then quickly move the robot for redeployment in a new area.

Flexible Welding Automation

With FANUC cobots, users can select the weld process that fits the application, whether it is MIG (GMAW), TIG (GTAW), plasma (PAW) or laser welding. FANUC works with you to create low-spatter welding solutions to produce a clean part finish.

Commonly Asked Questions About Welding Cobots

Collaborative welding robots — or welding cobots for short — are safety-rated industrial robots that can require little to no safeguarding compared with traditional industrial robots. 

Built-in force sensors with adjustable sensitivity thresholds allow our welding cobots to work safely alongside people without the need for expensive guarding, saving space and costs.

According to ISO 10218 part 1 and part 2, there are four main types of cobots: safety monitored stop, speed and separation, power and force limiting, and hand guiding.

Many factors can determine a cobot’s cost. A cobot expert can help you determine the best cobot welding solution tailored to your needs. Additionally, FANUC America has the industry’s largest network of Authorized System Integrators for robotics and arc welding throughout the Americas who can help solve your challenges.
