Welding robot automation 2.0 at nominee Valk Welding

Robot integrator Valk Welding specializes in the turn-key supply of complete 'All-in-One' welding robot installations and development of innovative hardware and software solutions. At its booth in Hall 10, Valk Welding will show a number of representative developments of these, which are decisive for a reliable and continuous welding process.

Valk Welding has been nominated for the Arc-Eye CSS Adaptive weld seam tracking system. The software and laser camera of Arc-Eye CSS Adaptive follows the weld seam, recognizes the seam shape and also adjusts the welding parameters such as current, voltage, pendulum movement and speed in the program in real time in case of deviation. The use of welding robots thus also becomes interesting for somewhat coarser applications such as shipbuilding.

In addition to an overview of all robot models and various robot torches for specific welding applications, Valk Welding will introduce the new LA-1800 robot. This heavier robot from Panasonic is designed for welding and handling applications, applicattions with two synchronous robots and "stationary tool center point" welding applications (fixed torch, moving product). With a payload of 26 kg, the LA-1800 robot can handle heavier tools and workpieces. As an example, Valk Welding shows an application with a heavier tool for plastic welding.

All main features of the Valk Welding welding robot systems are combined on a demo cell based on an E-shaped torsion-free frame with two adjacent workstations and two Panasonic TM-1800WG3 welding robots. With this space-saving concept, Valk Welding offers a solution that combines high duty cycle with high flexibility.

The robotic integrator sees the demand for logistics automation increasing and, as an example of innovative automation, will weld products on a mini welding cell, whose parts will be picked up by a self-propelled Otto SDV at Romias' booth 10.C040.

In addition, a cobot plaza will be set up where 5 different cobot applications will be demonstrated.
