MODULAR ROBOTIC SYSTEM RTE 400 Welcome to the world of welding robots!

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...

Rotational axis on a fixed mount THE MODULES OF THE RTE 400 SERIES AND THE WORK ZONES OF THE DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION SIZES Rotating robot base Rotation range of vertical axis 540° All the modules are suitable for standing or suspended robots. Due to the unique properties of the hardware and software modules we have developed, our systems have been used by the world’s leading companies. We are confident that the enlargement of the work zone and the further improvement of welding access will expand the range of applications and win new customers. Standard robot base with connections for all media...

WELDING EQUIPMENT AND SENSORS Wire Feed Gas nozzle and arc seam tracking Even 40 years ago, our special-purpose welding machines came equipped with this seam-tracking method, and with the development of our first welding robot Limat 2000 in 1981, we perfected the software for it. Torch attachments and welding torches > Extremely flat design > Integrated in the main axis > Protected by cover > Wire guide in the axis > No exposed hoses > For single-wire and tandem welding processes > Fully accessible manual control push-buttons > Hinged medium plate > New central connection with quick-release coupling...

ROBOT COLUMNS AND FLOOR-TRACKS The modular construction of the rotary and longitudinal chassis components enable the design of robotic systems for quite different part sizes and production conditions. Column RS with cross slide TQA, carriage way: 1.5 to 3 m and with vertical slide THA, stroke: 1 to 2.5 m Floor track RTS for mounting one or more RST or RFT robot columns, carriage way: up to 85 m Lifting column RSH with cross slide TQA, carriage way: 1.5 to 3 m Robot base MB Robot column RFT with fixed side arm, side arm length: 1.5 to 2.5 m Robot Column RST with rotary arm, arm length: 1.5 to...

OVERHEAD SLIDE SYSTEMS AND ROBOT GANTRIES Slide system TLA0 with vertical slide THA or carriage FW0, carriage way up to 85 m The overhead design of the slide systems permits free access for the loading of the workpiece manipulators with indoor crane or conveying system. This allows the implementation of flexible manufacturing lines in a cost-effective and space-saving manner. Travel distances up to 150 m Robot gantry TPA1 for one or two robots on carriages or on vertical slides track gauge: 3.5 to 5.5 m, carriage way up to 150 m Slide system TLA3 with cross and vertical slide TQA3 and THA, carriage...

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...
