100 i C & 100

Basic Description

i C/6L

The ARC Mate 100 i C and ARC Mate 100 i C series is a six-axis, modular construction, electric servo-driven family of robots designed for precise, high-speed welding and cutting. Based on its simple and reliable construction, the ARC Mate 100 i C/6L provide accurate and consistent path performance. The robot controller and easy-to-use ArcTool
® software provide reliable performance with high productivity.The ARC Mate 100 i C robot series has a process specific design that protects the weld torch cable from the wire feeder to the torch goose neck, reducing cable wear and minimizing wire feeder issues. This simplified routing prevents cable interference with parts and tooling and allows offline programs to be generated and tested without compensating for the torch cable.
â–  J3 flip-over capability provides large working envelope that is ideal for inverted applications.
â–  Multiple mounting positions include upright, inverted, wall or angle mount with no changes to the mechanical unit.
â–  Designed with integral utilities including gas/air lines and a Lincoln Electric wire feed motor cable routed inside the robot arm. This offers improved reliability, reduced setup time and eliminates external cabling requirements.

Options Benefits

â–  ServoTorch
TM provides precise wire feed control for aluminum and soft wire application.
â–  Process specific arm protects and minimizes wear of the torch cable.
â–  Features highest motion speeds in class for maximum performance and productivity.
â–  Wire feed motor (up to 12 kg) mounted behind the J4 hollow opening, shortens welding torch length which improves wire feed reliability and arc start capability.
â–  Integrated weld power cable
â–  EMI shielding kits for TIG (GTAW), plasma (PAW) and plasma cutting (PAC) allow operation in harsh EMI (electro-magnetic interference) environments.
â–  Best in class reach versus stroke ratio.
â–  Compact design simplifies installation and transportation of system.
â–  “Plug and play” simplicity with Lincoln Electric’s Power Wave™ or STT™ (Surface Tension Transfer) power sources.
â–  Multiple process I/O welding boards integrate multi-channel welding equipment such as 4 channel TIG and 3 channel MIG.
â–  The ARC Mate 100 i C series offers an extremely large work envelope useful for large parts or complex tooling.
â–  Arc welding teach pendant with application-specific hard keys offers intuitive control over the process.
â–  Various robot connection cable lengths for flexible cabinet placement and optional track rated cables.
â–  Extremely fast wrist axes reduces aircut times, thus improving throughput.
â–  Compatible with all major brands of welding equipment.
â–  Interfaces with most types of servo- driven or indexing positioners.
â–  J1 axis stroke modification kit.
â–  Auxiliary axis packages for integration into welding positioners.

Features

â–  ARC Mate 100 i C has 1,420 mm reach and 1,066 mm stroke.
â–  Slim wrist size enables the robot to enter into smaller openings in the work space.
â–  ARC Mate 100 i C/6L has 1,632 mm reach and 1,154 mm stroke.
â–  i RVision™ (Integrated Robot Vision) system delivers high- performance 2-D and 3-D machine vision capabilities with FANUC reliability.
â–  10 kg payload on faceplate for ARC Mate 100 i C.
Note: ARC Mate is a registeredtrademark of FANUC LTD. â–  6 kg payload on faceplate for ARC Mate 100 i C/6L.
