ESAB cobot simplifies automated welding with app

ESAB has introduced its first collaborative robot for MIG and pulsed MIG welding applications on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum alloys. Operators teach the cobot welding paths using a software app running on a smartphone or tablet, along with a Smart Puck to hand-guide the torch and record its position with the push of a button.

The cobot is designed to automate high-mix, low-volume applications for small and medium-sized fabricators. It features a Universal Robots UR10e industrial robot arm, along with ESAB’s Aristo 500ix pulse power source, RobustFeed U82 wire feeder, an air- or water-cooled torch, and accessories.

A Siegmund 32- by 48-in. welding table organizes components and enables moving the cobot around a shop.
