High-precision, perfect weld seams thanks to optimum system coordination

Path accuracies of up to 0.5 mm can be achieved by:

  • the use of special heavy-duty robots with high rigidity and a long service life, which guarantee high repeat accuracy (KR FORTEC ultra)
  • precise path calibration to compensate for path deviations caused by the varying rigidity in the robot's working area and the effects of different process forces
  • special tooling for seam surfaces that require virtually no reworking.

Maximum control in the FSW process - for the future of e-mobility

The unique KUKA PCD 507 (Process Control and Documentation) system controls and documents all relevant process parameters during welding and has been transferred to the new intuitive KUKA.Web HMI. It thus guarantees:

  • 100% reproducibility
  • 100% quality monitoring in real time
  • 100% process reliability (minimization of rejects)
  • 100% documentation of the welding process
Process monitoring for all FSW path processes: Data export, process diagnosis and electronic archiving of all process data
