KAWASAKI BA006L-A robotic welding station

KAWASAKI BA006L-A robotic welding station was built in 2022. This system, composed of devices and machines with the best technical parameters, is the perfect choice for fully automatic arc welding using the MIG/MAG method. All the components of the station are integrated inside an enclosed structure.

The machining process is performed by a KAWASAKI 6-axis robot distinguished by, among others, its sophisticated design and robust arm with an increased range of movement. In order to achieve excellent dynamic movements combined with high process reliability, each of its six axes is driven by efficient servo motors. What’s more, a number of state-of-the-art systems ensure uninterrupted operation of the machine, without any downtime.

The entire workspace is ventilated from welding fumes by powerful KEMPER extraction units. This solution significantly improves overall safety and comfort.

The robotic welding cell on offer is fully complete and consists of the following components:
– robot arm: KAWASAKI 3BA006L-AC01
– MIG/MAG welder: FRONIUS TPS 400i
– welding positioner: ASTOR PST250E-H1 (2 pcs.)
– wire feeder
– cooling unit: FRONIUS CU
– welding fume extraction unit: KEMPER FilterCell XL (2 pcs.)
– fixed covers with safety switch
