Welding cobot works with existing equipment

Share This Post

Productive Robotics has introduced the Blaze Welding Cobot.

The new system can be used with a customer’s existing table, fixtures and welder at half the cost of other systems on the market.  Unlike six axis robots, the seven axis Blaze Welding Cobot can manoeuvre around all sides of large or complex parts and fixtures, allowing it to perform more weldments in a single setup. Blaze is engineered with Productive Robotics’ proprietary teach-by-touch and equipped to accommodate high or low mix volumes, short or long part runs or jobs that require quick changeovers.

“We developed and built Blaze from the ground up using our augmented intelligent OB7 Stretch model because most job shops and contract manufacturers already have welders and welding tables,” says Zac Bogart, president of Productive Robotics. “With Blaze, they don’t have to buy a whole system again. To date we’ve developed Blaze packages that are compatible with welders from eight major brands including Lincoln and Miller.”

Blaze has a 1550 mm/61-in. radius operating sphere and requires no new fixturing. The Blaze tablet controller can hold an unlimited library of weld recipes, giving the operator command of all welding parameters including material type, voltage, wire feed, weld speed and gas flow.

A new employee or experienced welder can use the cobot’s control handle to physically teach Blaze to weld without programming. The collaborative cobot works safely next to its human co-workers. Live online support is provided by seasoned welding and robotic experts.
