For want of a spring, the machine was lost. For want of a machine, the shift was lost. For want of a shift, the order was lost. For want of an order, the contract was lost. For want of a contract, the company was lost. And all for the want of a spring...
Fronius has launched the world’s most compact push-pull robot welding torch: the Robacta Drive TPS/i. Thanks to its compact design and refined engineering, the component accessibility and TCP precision of the welding torch has been improved even further. What’s more, the dynamic of the drive unit has been increased to 33 m/s² – ten-times that of its predecessor generation. A consistent, modular structure not only eases the workload of servicing engineers, but simplifies the storage of spare and replacement parts as well. With all these benefits the Robacta Drive TPS/i allows even more welding tasks to be economically performed with robots.
Condition-based maintenance, predictive maintenance, system analytics, artificial intelligence, and embedded sensing will contribute in the area of energy and data solutions
