Product description
COBO Weld combines laser welding with collaborative robotic automation for applications ranging from micro-welding to structural welding. Built-in force-torque sensors enable real-time collision detection, while ISO 15066 compliance supports human-robot collaboration in shared workspaces. Its intuitive programming interface and real-time motion correction help maintain accuracy across complex and curved weld paths. With payload options from 3 kg to 30 kg and flexible floor, wall or overhead mounting, COBO Weld can be configured for different production requirements and shop-floor layouts.
Features
Collaborative Human-Robot Operation
COBO Weld is designed to work alongside human operators. Integrated force-torque sensors detect unexpected contact in real time, while ISO 15066 compliance supports collaborative operation in shared workspaces.
6-Axis Robotic Movement
Six-axis movement provides the flexibility required to position the welding tool across different component geometries and approach complex weld locations.
Real-Time Motion Correction
The robot can correct its motion in real time to maintain welding accuracy along complex, curved and varied weld paths.
Intuitive Programming
The user-friendly programming interface simplifies robot setup and operation, helping reduce the learning curve associated with robotic welding systems.
Micro & Structural Welding
COBO Weld is suited to applications ranging from precision micro-welding in sectors such as electronics and medical devices to structural welding requirements in automotive and aerospace manufacturing.
Flexible Mounting
The lightweight, modular design supports floor, wall or overhead mounting, allowing manufacturers to adapt the robot to available production space and workflow requirements.
Automation Integration
Support for industrial communication protocols including EtherCAT, Modbus and Profinet enables integration with existing automation and manufacturing systems.
Multiple Payload Options
The COBO Weld range is available in six configurations with payload capacities from 3 kg to 30 kg, allowing the system to be selected according to application and component requirements.
