Productive Robotics Features New Blaze Robotic Laser Welding System At Automate 2024

Productive Robotics introduces its new Blaze robotic laser welder which can perform four times faster than TIG welding. Equipped with a LightWELD laser, Blaze can fuse dissimilar metals of different thicknesses and create aesthetic high-strength joints with minimal or no wire consumption.

The OEM will debut and demonstrate its deburr add-on package for CNC applications and its Blaze robotic laser welding system, the latest addition to the company's line of robotic welders. Visitors will be able to see OB7 tend a CNC mill and deburr parts. A regrip station holds the part while OB7 repositions it to complete the process on all edges. OB7, OB7 Stretch model, MAX 8 and MAX 12 can perform a range of activities from gluing, material handling, packing, and palletizing to part marking for industries that include medical devices, food and beverage, miscellaneous metals and machinery.


Productive Robotics will also exhibit its new Blaze robotic laser welder which can perform four times faster than TIG welding. Equipped with a LightWELD laser, Blaze can fuse dissimilar metals of different thicknesses and create aesthetic high-strength joints with minimal or no wire consumption. Low heat input combined with an unlimited library of weld recipes boosts productivity and repeatability and improves weld quality. In addition to its robotic laser welder, the OEM will also feature Blaze Max Mobile.

Designed and produced in the U.S., Productive Robotics cobots and robotic welding systems have been engineered with the company's proprietary, "no programming" user interface. Instead, operators simply show OB7 or Blaze each step of a job, a process that takes minutes to
complete. In addition to eliminating the need for programming, fabricators and job shops don't need an integrator to install the plug-and-play machines. Test drive centers at the booth will give visitors the opportunity to try their own hand at teaching OB7 a task.

Productive Robotics LLC designs and manufactures industrial collaborative robots, robotic welding systems and accessories for a wide range of applications. The OB7, OB7 Stretch model, MAX 8 and MAX 12 are the only cobots on the market designed and built in the U.S. A proprietary, "no programming" user interface allows fabricators and job shops to teach the cobot by showing it each step of a task or job. The plug-and-play machines are engineered to work with new or legacy equipment and have the flexibility to perform both simple and complex activities. The OEM has also developed the broadest line of "plug-and-weld" robotic welding systems available. Productive Robotics' cloud analytics system streamlines connectivity requirements for nimble data collection and reporting.

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.
