Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the RTE 400 series, a modular robotic system designed for welding applications. It highlights the evolution of welding robots over the past 35 years, starting with the first industrial arc welding robot and the development of a five-axis articulated-arm robot.

Development and Features of RTE 400 Series
The RTE 400 series incorporates new mechanical components and system modules to meet customer demands for an enlarged work zone. Key features include:
  • Additional rotating mount and longer swivel arm for extended work zones.
  • Improved welding access with an additional swivel-arm module.
  • Reduced transfer time by up to 30%.
  • Integrated wire feed units and media supply lines within the main rotation axis.
  • Retained advantages of igm robots, such as outstanding programming techniques and large work zones.

Modules and Work Zones
The RTE 400 series offers various modules suitable for different robot configurations, enhancing work zone diameters and welding access. The document details the specifications of different construction sizes and their respective work zones.

Welding Equipment and Sensors
The series includes advanced welding equipment and sensors, such as:
  • Flat design integrated in the main axis.
  • Wire guide in the axis for single-wire and tandem welding.
  • iLS weld groove sensor and iCAM laser camera for precise welding operations.

Robot Columns and Floor-Tracks
The modular construction allows for flexible design of robotic systems, accommodating various part sizes and production conditions. The document describes different robot columns, floor tracks, and overhead slide systems.

Programming and Offline Teaching
The RTE 400 series features a teach pendant for program creation and optimization, supporting offline teaching with 3D mode programming. Key advantages include:
  • Arc-controlled seam tracking and laser sensor integration.
  • Reduction of downtime and risk-free programming.
  • Compatibility with CAD/CAM systems.

Conclusion
The document concludes with contact information for igm's global facilities, emphasizing their commitment to customer support and service.

Modular Robotic System RTE400-2

Thirtyfive years ago, we developed the world’s first robot suitable for industrial arc welding. Straight or circular welds of any desired length could be programmed with only 2 or 3 points, the welding speed was set directly and it could be changed during execution of the program. With its arc-controlled seam tracking function, it was years ahead of the state of the art at the time. Mechanical components newly available on the market, a series of our own new system modules, and the demands of many customers for an enlarged work zone prompted the planning of a production series of welding robots...

PROGRAMMING AND OFFLINE TEACHING Offline teaching Offline teaching involves workpiece-oriented programming in 3D mode using a PC and simulation software. The workpiece is first imported into the programming system as 3D-CAD geometry, then the movements of the robot are determined. For path generation and definition of the processing parameters, a number of automatic functions as well as data bases stored in the control system are available. Programming The key unit of the RCE system, the igm teach pendant incorporates all functions for the creation and optimisation of robot programs, including...
