Collaborative Robot Arm
Programmable robot arm to perform a wide range of tasks. Great for automating high volume, repetitive tasks; this in turn frees up your workforce for other value-adding tasks.
Outsourcing your tasks that our robot can perform can also free up your working space. We can also be the first layer of quality control to filter out defective parts.
The general process of how to commission a robot arm for your task:
Discuss project requirements and desired outcomes
Draft a concept to visualize the set up (end effector to use, what fixtures are required, the rough process plan etc)
Concept approved: Procure sufficient samples for R&D, to eventually generate a proof of concept (POC)
Sign off on POC. Some fine tuning might be required, but project can be commissioned at this stage.
Some examples of what the robot arm can do:
Welding
Pick and place
Assembly
Polishing / buffing
Quality control tests
And much more...
Laser Welding
Utilizing a pulsed laser to generate intermittent energy bursts, the laser welding process is able to produce highly precise welds. Each spot size can be as small as 0.3mm, and the energy output can be controlled to weld items as thin as 0.2mm without damaging the part.
Due to the nature of this welding process where energy pulses are generated in short concentrated bursts, the outcome is a reduced heat affected zone on your parts and minimizes any form of distortion. It also preserves the mechanical properties of your part, and facilitates any post-processing after welding.
Capabilities:
Additive Laser Welding: Filler material can be added to build up material on your desired area. A range of materials are available, like Inconel, stainless steel, aluminum, tool steel, titanium and copper.
Spot Welding: Fusion of materials can also be done without the addition of filler material.
Applications:
Repair of casting moulds / metal parts: Eliminate need to make new moulds, which is costly.
Modification of parts / devices: Additive welding or spot welding to fuse parts allows you the flexibility for modification.
Welding of heat sensitive parts: Sensors or thin-walled items are prone to damage. Laser welding takes a controlled approach to minimize damage to sensitive parts.
TIG Welding (Argon Weld)
Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding / Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), or more commonly known as "Argon Welding", utilizes a tungsten electrode to deliver current into a small intense welding arc. The result is a high quality and precise weld, with the flexibility to weld a large variety of materials ranging from steel, stainless steel, aluminum, Inconel, copper, and much more.
Suitability:
TIG Welding is very versatile, hence its application is diverse and wide-ranging. Some benefits of choosing TIG welding are:
Precision and control
Cost efficient
High weld integrity (Good for leak testing and machining)
Generally quite fast
Wide range of material can be welded
MIG Welding
Metal Inert Gas (MIG) Welding / Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), utilizes a continuous solid wire electrode that is melted to join 2 base materials together. It can deposit materials at a high rate, thus can be more productive when it comes to welding speed. The resulting weld can still generate high weld integrity, but will generate more weld spatter and will not be as clean looking compared to TIG welding.
Suitability:
MIG Welding is suitable for fabrication or welding jobs where weld integrity is the main priority. If aesthetics of the weld pool is not a big concern, MIG welding can be highly effective and cost efficient. Some benefits of choosing MIG welding are:
High productivity
Cost efficient
Good weld integrity (Good for load bearing structures)
Generally quite fast
Able to weld larger and thicker materials compared to TIG weld
Fabrication / Repair Welding
Most metal items can be repaired or modified, depending on your requirements. If repairing or modification is not feasible, an item can also be fabricated from scratch. We are able to source for the required materials and engineer it to the required dimensions through laser cutting, bending or machining.
Suitability:
Some examples of commonly repaired or modified items:
Bicycle frames
Shelves
Common household or factory items like trolleys, metal tools etc
And much more.
