1. Adapt to complex workpieces and expand welding range
For large or complex workpieces such as thick steel plate frames and construction machinery buckets, the positioner rotates and translates the workpiece, helping the robot reach welds in 'blind spots' like inner sides and corners. When paired with robots with longer reach such as the MA1400, it can achieve 'one-time clamping, full-position welding' for extra-long or heavy workpieces, reducing repositioning errors.
2. Reduce manual intervention, improve efficiency and ensure safety
No frequent manual adjustments of the workpiece are needed, enabling 'automatic positioning and continuous welding,' increasing welding efficiency by 30%–50% in batch production. The positioner works in coordination with safety barriers to prevent human contact with high-temperature welds and arc light, reducing safety risks and minimizing operator interference with welding quality.
3. Adapt to multiple scenarios, enhance flexible production
Yaskawa robots support TIG/MIG/MAG processes and can be paired with servo or hydraulic positioners. When welding aluminum or stainless steel, the positioner rotates smoothly at low speed while the robot adjusts in real time, reducing thermal deformation. When switching workpiece types, the positioner quickly changes fixtures, and the robot can call the program to adapt, without extensive workstation adjustments.
