Industrial automation continues to advance as the backbone of modern production. In this context, UsedRobotsTrade offers a complete and optimized solution for welding processes: a system composed of the KUKA KR30-3 robot, a 3-axis positioner table, and a Megmeet Artsen Plus 500A welding source, designed to integrate quickly, reliably, and economically into production environments across various sectors.
This article explores the system’s technical architecture, integration capabilities, programming languages used, key performance figures, and the advantages that set it apart from previous generations or market alternatives.
System Architecture The solution is based on three main components:
- KUKA KR30-3 Industrial Robot
- Type: 6-axis articulated robot
- Load capacity: 30 kg
- Maximum reach: 2,030 mm
- Repeatability: ±0.06 mm This KUKA model is known for its robustness, precision, and reliability in welding and part handling applications. Its compact mechanical structure allows operations even in cells with limited space.
- 3-Axis Positioner Table
- Controlled via the same robot controller (KRC2 or KRC4, depending on configuration).
- Allows synchronized manipulation of parts during the welding process.
- Configurable to adapt to different part geometries.
- Megmeet Artsen Plus 500A Welding Source
- Maximum current: 500 A
- Supported processes: MIG/MAG, synergic, pulsed
- Digital interface: Communication via standard protocols (Ethernet/IP, CANopen, or Modbus, depending on configuration)
- Precise arc control: Superior stability in high-precision welding The system can be integrated as a complete cell with a safety cabin, presence sensors, fume extraction, and optional HMI control.
Integration Capabilities Eurobots’ solution stands out for its ease of integration into existing production lines:
- Centralized control: The robot controller can manage both the robot and the positioning table, minimizing the need for external PLCs.
- Standard communication protocols: Allows smooth connection with SCADA, ERP, or MES systems.
- Customized interface (HMI): Urt can develop interfaces tailored to the client’s needs for quick visualization and parameterization.
- Compatibility with CAD/CAM systems: Facilitates the import of trajectories from design software for offline robotic welding.
Target Industrial Sectors The solution is designed for applications in sectors where precision welding is critical and production cycles require high performance:
- Automotive (manufacturing of subcomponents, chassis, frames)
- Metallurgy and heavy boiler making
- Machinery construction
- Metal furniture
- Home appliances
- Railway and naval industry
Competitive Advantages Compared to traditional systems or previous versions, this solution offers:
- High flexibility: Quick series change with minimal reprogramming.
- Defect reduction: Greater uniformity in the weld bead.
- Energy savings: Efficient inverter technology from Megmeet.
- Quick return on investment (ROI): Estimated between 12 and 18 months in continuous production.
- Refurbishment with Eurobots warranty: Competitive costs compared to new systems, without sacrificing quality or technical support.
