9 Welding Robots to Watch From Fabtech 2021

Kawasaki BA006N and BA006L

Kawasaki displayed its ready-to-weld cell, designed for customizable, pre-engineered robotic welding for medium-sized parts. It featured welding of T-joints live using a Kawasaki BA006N arc-welding robot. The robot has a maximum reach of 1,445 mm (4.7 ft.) and a hollow wrist structure designed for easy management of cables and hoses around the torch. This provide stable wire feeding and offline teaching, said the company.

Kawasaki’s BA006L robot, designed for larger welds, simulated arc welding on a part manipulated by a Kawasaki MX700N positioner. The BA006L robot features a 2034mm (6.67 ft.) reach and a 6 kg (13.2 lb.) payload.
