FlexGun Electrically Driven Servo Weld Gun The demands for high process speed, production reliability and genuine quality is a main focus in the automotive industry. ABB offers the new Electric Servo Gun, FlexGun, with parallel arm movements as integrated solution controlled by the robot controller. Developed and manufactured by ABB, the FlexGun is a modular system. The same body can be combined with standard or specific arms, for either X or C/J guns. This concept offers a wide range of welding solutions to meet all the expectations of the industry with short delays. The parallel arm movement enhances the rigidity of the arms to guarantee the process quality. Simple and robust, the FlexGun is also easy to integrate and maintain. Key Benefits − − Same gun body for all models (X & C/J Gun) − − Designed for heavy electrode force − − Less sensitive for welding spat − − Less spare parts − − Easy to change between X & C/J Gun − − Deeper “window” − − Centre of gravity near the robot attachment −− Possibility of CAD validation −− Robot simulation simplified by the gun symmetry −− Drive unit integrated in robot control −− No equalizing device – process performed by the robot (software equalizing) −− Quick gun commissioning and replacement −− Easy maintenance Options: −− Tool changer −− Gun deposit bracket −− Transformer type − − Robot attachment bracket − − Electrode standard

FlexGun Standard Offer Available dimensions and forces On parallel gun type, the depth depends of the length of two parts: the arm length and the electrode holder. Standard depth for electrode holder 227 Other configurations and dimensions are available. Please contact ABB. The maximal gun opening is 255 mm. Welding Transformer The FlexGun supports the ISO transformer 50/60 HZ and MFDC. The secondary voltage is in the range 6.3 to 10V, with a permanent secondary current of 6.2 kA. Other transformers possible on request. Electrode holder In-line Positioning back side E 90° positioning motor side...
