Designed to be quick and agile, the new MS80 Master Spot welding robot from Motoman is said to be 43% faster than traditional heavy-payload robots.
With a <500mm wide body, including spot harness; a 2,061mm reach; an 80kg payload; and a ±0.07mm repeatability, it can be placed close to workpieces and other robots for flexible, high-density layouts.
Features include Yaskawa compact actuators and higher-frequency dc welding leading to new lightweight spot guns. Guns are available in X- or C-type configurations with 600kg clamping force and 15kA capacity.
The integrated spot harness prevents interference and reduces programming time. Integrated cabling and hoses are said to last more than six times longer than traditional harnesses.
