Offering an extra-long wrist range for improved application flexibility, the new extended reach 6-axis AR3120 robot is designed to achieve enhanced arc welding performance. The AR3120 features an expansive 3,124 mm horizontal reach and a 5,622 mm vertical reach.
Joining the recently released AR700, AR900, AR1440, AR1730 and AR2010 arc welding robot models, the AR3120 robot optimizes weld quality and product throughput. Offering a high payload, fast axis speeds and top wrist allowable moment, the AR3120 is suitable for use on agriculture equipment, construction machinery or automotive frames.
Suited for use in high-density layouts with multiple robots working in close proximity, the AR3120 robot has a slim profile that features a streamlined arm design for reduced interference, facilitating access to parts in tight spaces.
A 20 kg payload capacity supports a range of motorized torches and sensors, and a symmetric wrist profile with enhanced range provides equal torch access to both side of the part. An optimized feeder mounting area on the arm reduces equipment interference.
Through-arm routing for cabling, hoses and sensor wires is provided by the large 50 mm through-hole, allowing ample space to minimize cable snagging and wear. Similarly, the minimal protrusion from the U-axis, along with the internal S-axis routing, prolong cable life and maximize part access.
"Installation is quick and efficient," said a company spokesperson. "A new robot harness design improves diagnostics and maintenance, and a single cable connects the manipulator to the controller, resulting in easy set-up and reduced expenses."
The AR3120 robot can be floor-, wall-, tilt- or ceiling-mounted, and it is controlled by the high-performance YRC1000 controller that is built to a global standard and does not require a transformer for input voltages ranging from 380VAC to 480VAC. With a compact cabinet (598 W mm x 490 H mm x 427 D mm), the YRC1000 utilizes a lightweight teach pendant with intuitive programming.
