Automotive Spot Welding Robot
April 1, 2020
FANUC America recently demonstrated automotive spot welding with the R-2000iD/210FH Robot.
The R-2000iD/210FH is the latest model in a large family of industrial robots offering a variety of payloads and reaches. The robot offers a compact design with a hollow arm for better cable management, which minimizes interference with system equipment and allows the robot to operate in tight workspaces. Featuring a 210 kg payload and 2,605 mm reach, the R-2000iD/210FH is ideal for spot welding and material handling applications.
For the demonstration, the R-2000iD/210FH robot, equipped with an integrated FANUC Servo Gun Control and a hollow arm for spot welding dress out, performed simulated spot welding in and around a truck cab.
The robot used Dual Check Safety (DCS) Speed and Position Check software to limit the robot's envelope within the compact workspace. Also featured was FANUC's latest R-30iB Plus controller with an intuitive iPendant for easy set-up and operation.
R-2000iD/210FH features and benefits:
- Hollow arm design provides full internal J1-J6 cabling for handling and spot welding applications
- Reliable, large motion range and accurate off-line simulation/programming
- Six-axis articulation for maximum flexibility to reach multiple areas within a work cell, even very tight spaces
- Best-in-class motion performance provides maximum productivity
- High-speed operation minimizes robot cycle times
- Simple serial-link configuration, smaller base and smaller wrist radius provide a compact workspace with a large envelope
- Substantial wrist load ratings support the latest servo weld guns
- The latest R-30iB Plus controller features an intuitive iPendant with enhanced screen resolution and more processing capability compared to previous versions. It offers a variety of intelligent functions including iRVision, Force Sensing, ROBOGUIDE, ZDT and DCS.
