By Fronius
The Fronius CWC-S is a cobot welding cell for MIG/MAG welding, programmed by guiding the welding torch by hand.
According to the Fronius fact sheet, the CWC-S is an enclosed cobot welding cell for MIG/MAG welding. Programs are created by guiding the welding torch to the start and end points and by drag and drop on a tablet. The manufacturer states a six-axis robot with a reach of 1,300 mm, a repeatability of ±0.05 mm and a maximum part size of 1,500 × 1,000 × 700 mm. A motorised rotation unit (optionally with tailstock), integrated weld fume extraction and welding packages (LSC, PMC, CMT) are listed as options. Availability in the Netherlands has not been confirmed.
