Faster programming and longer cable life are just two benefits provided by FANUC Robotics’ new ARC Mate 100iC Robot. Internal cable management, from the robot’s ‘base to the weld torch’, allows the dress package to accurately follow the professional robots motion.

The six axes ARC Mate100iC has a new slim design. A cantilevered forearm design allows the wire feed unit to be positioned in line with the arm. By using its advanced collision protection professional software, the ARC Mate 100iC does not require a collision protection sensor.

Measured axes speeds and controlled weld test pieces illustrate an available production rate increase of 15%. The 1400mm reach and the ability to flip over provides the robot with a best in class work envelope.

Control of up to 40 multiple axes is available with the R-30iA controller and when used in multi-arm mode one controller can control four arms and four auxiliary axes groups. The new controller can be completed with its own Programmable Machine Controller (PMC).

Easy to use powerful offline programming software ROBOGUIDE allows powerful programming with an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. Weldpro is an extension of ROBOGUIDE dedicated to Arc Soldering. A welding program is created with designation of a path, torch angle, travel angle and so on by an operator.
