Yaskawa Motoman AR3120 Arc Welding Robot Offers Longest Reach for Long or Wide Weldments

Joining the recently released AR700, AR900, AR1440, AR1730 and AR2010 arc welding robot models, the powerful and efficient AR3120 robot optimizes weld quality and product throughput. With the highest payload, fastest axis speeds and top wrist allowable moment in its class, the AR3120 is ideal for use on agriculture equipment, construction machinery or automotive frames.

Offering an extra-long wrist range for improved application flexibility, the new extended reach six-axis AR3120 robot achieves unrivaled arc welding performance. Featuring an expansive 3,124 mm horizontal reach and a 5,622 mm vertical reach, the AR3120 is the longest reach, standard arc welding robot available.

Perfectly suited for use in high-density layouts with multiple robots working in close proximity, the AR3120 robot has a slim profile that features a streamlined arm design for reduced interference, facilitating access to parts in tight spaces. A 20 kg payload capacity supports a wide range of motorized torches and sensors, and a symmetric wrist profile with impressive range provides equal torch access to both side of the part. An optimized feeder mounting area on the arm reduces equipment interference.

Thru-arm routing for cabling, hoses and sensor wires is provided by the large 50 mm thru-hole, allowing ample space to minimize cable snagging and wear. Similarly, the minimal protrusion from the U-axis, along with the internal S-axis routing, prolong cable life and maximize part access.

Installation is quick and efficient. A new robot harness design improves diagnostics and maintenance, and a single cable connects the manipulator to the controller, resulting in easy setup and reduced expenses.

The AR3120 robot can be floor-, wall-, tilt- or ceiling-mounted, and it is controlled by the high-performance YRC1000 controller that is built to a global standard and does not require a transformer for input voltages ranging from 380VAC to 480VAC. With a highly-compact cabinet (598 W x 490 H x 427 D mm), the YRC1000 utilizes a lightweight teach pendant with intuitive programming.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
