Welding Work Cell for the Job Shop

Featuring one station with a welding table suitable for customized part fixtures in a compact footprint, the ArcWorld C-30 work cell is designed for the welding of small- to medium-sized parts that are typical in many job shop applications. The ArcWorld C-30 solution offers all of the components needed for arc welding, including a 6-axis MA1440 arc welding robot, DX200 controller with menu-driven arc welding application software, integrated welding package, operator station, pneumatic powered slide-up doors and a total safety environment.

The total safety environment complies with both U.S. and Canadian safety standards. Powered slide-up doors are designed to improve ergonomics and are interlocked with robot operation to safeguard the operator during part load/unload. In addition to barrier guarding with solid sheet metal side and back walls, safety features include a single point of operator control, functional safety unit (FSU) to monitor the robot, enhanced E-stop functionality, safety interlocked gates, integrated speed monitoring and manual brake release for the robot.

A Kinetiq Teaching option is available with the ArcWorld C-30. "Direct teaching is more intuitive and reduces programming time," said a company spokesperson. "The app-style, icon-based menus are easy for personnel to learn. Users can significantly reduce training and programming time for low-volume, high-mix batch production."

ArcWorld C-30 work cells are shipped pre-assembled on a common base with cables routed in a covered tray under the table for improved life and minimized trip hazard.
